OVH has a new line of SSD-backed KVM-hosted VPS servers starting at C$4.99/month, with good performance, decent availability, pretty much an all-round good deal.
Except for one little thing... No IPv6 support. At all.
According to the tech support rep I just spoke to, it's because the new 2016 lineup runs on OpenStack. I'm a little unclear on how this makes it "impossible" to provide IPv6 functionality, but that's their claim.
It's 2016: new IPv4 addresses are no longer available. IPv6 is supported by all major content providers (except Twitter, I think)- but OVH doesn't consider this important, apparently.
FYI: their SoYouStart and OVH Dedicated Server lines still provide IPv6 service; it's only the new 2016 VPS system that doesn't. Ironically, the older-generation (2014) system *did* support IPv6, but I can't order that any more.
Grrr.

Alternatively, Digital Ocean's SSD backed vps's have ipv6 support in several but not all of their data centers, and that's also only 4.99/month (except USD). Off the top of my head I can't remember if they were offering ipv6 in their new Toronto data center, but that might be of interest to some people.

They definitely have IPv6 in Toronto, my nagios instance in toronto is IPv6 enabled. Most of the regions have IPv6 now AFAIK, even older regions like SFO1.

Yeah, but can I do the OpenBSD installer trick with a DigitalOcean droplet like I can with an OVH VPS? (Looks like it's a definite maybe. Hmm. Pricing slightly higher, install looks to be a royal PITA, but if it works...) -Adam

Ya i'm not sure if the digitalocean FreeBSD support would work for your needs or not.... It might but it sounds like a PITA for sure.
