Further to a discussion last night, OVH.com is a French data center provider who has opened a large datacenter facility in Beauharnais, QC (just outside Montreal). They do not have any American facilities (except peering points). They claim to be OS-agnostic – although they don’t mention OpenBSD specifically, they do mention both FreeBSD and SmartOS. BSDCan2013 attendees got a one-month free trial of a dedicated server. (Impressively-polished video about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e97g7_qSxA)
Meanwhile, BSWS.DE remains the only non-American OpenBSD-specific hosting provider I’m aware of – please provide more examples if you know of them! (All the Google results appear to have some American connection.)
Note: I’m not trying to make a statement about the Patriot Act or doing business in the USA here, I’m just providing additional data to a conversation that was happening.
