OVH is still the cheapest host I've ever seen. 1 TB disk space, 100mbps connection speed, 5TB bandwidth, all for $20/mo?

I'm not complaining, nor have I seen better.

Their support is totally abhorrent though, be prepared waiting days/weeks instead of minutes/hours for any support at all, they abruptly change your TOS and server specs without telling you, cancel you order for no reason without telling you or even refunding you etc.

They're totally horrible to deal with, unless you make minimum wage you're probably going to spend more on packets of Tylenol due to all the headaches they cause than what you're going to save.

Indeed. I ordered a Kimsufi server five days ago with a guideline setup time of 24 hours. Placed the order, made payment, no doubt I'm already paying for the service, but five days later, I'm still awaiting setup.

Their ordering process is painful. Their online management interface is atrocious. Communication is poor.

It's true what they say about paying peanuts...

I'm in the same boat, but the Kimsufi server setup time has said "1 - 10 days" for a while.

"no doubt I'm already paying for the service, but five days later, I'm still awaiting setup."

I'm a long time OVH customer and I can ensure you that your contract term will start only when you get your server.

As far as I know the first 1000 "3euros" servers got sold faster than they thought. Now they are building new ones. Be patient, your server is coming. ;-)

Bandwidth is more important than space to me, so Online is still much better. And as soon as they will have matched OVH's new prices there are going to be THE best host.
