Yes, I have consulted the interwebs. But, forsooth, the interwebs have

I've been running various colocated OpenBSD boxen for a long time (19
years?). The hardware is mine; the phat pipe I pay for, in some
aircon'ed warehouse somewhere in southern England... never been... (I'm
in West Sussex/Surrey, but I doubt that matters these days.)
Two of my machines are getting a little elderly, and need replacing...
and my son-in-law (I quite like him) said "have you considered virtual
hosting?". Hmmm.
I would love to be able to do this - make the hardware someone else's
problem - and maybe into the bargain pay less per month.
I gather Amazon are not quite there yet re OpenBSD virtual machines. Can
anyone here provide a cluebat as to prospects or alternatives? I don't
want to move away from OpenBSD - it's my security blanket... and I love
it *so* much...

I like mythic beasts[1] - they have data centres in Cambridge and London
- they are technically literate and both my OpenBSD VM are with them.
Cheers
