Totally agree. These days I want great customer service and reliability. I can pay $20 for Google knowing Google will be around much longer and should come with a reasonable retiring/deprecation/shutdown policy. I chose DO for a similar reason. I know it will be around for a while and I have nothing to lose since I have access to my source code. I can migrate to another provider if I have to.
Also, DO is pretty fast at deploying and enabling new VM. I didn't know OVH until today. Sometimes advertising works well :/
