Host1 also have a "cloud" platform called cloud1.no, it runs on rather old Xen, but thanks to great efforts of Mike B, OpenBSD works fine there as well. Installation is not straightforward, though, but it is doable... Host1 will also let you rent a dedicated box, if you need it. Or you could get a cheap 55 EUR dedicated box at Blix (https://www.blix.com/servers), who is also great, but Blix won't accept BTC AFAIC. Host1 and Blix are based in Norway.
