Western Canada/US location would help a lot but we don't really want to use another provider for it and OVH has their US locations in a separate US entity. Pretty much counts as a separate provider since it'd be a separate account. Too bad they don't have a Vancouver DC...

It would be nice to have anycast but we'd want to be using it via something like buyvm.net/anycast-vps/ and that doesn't have enough locations + there aren't really other options. We want to have self-hosted services and it's important for it to be unmetered too.

Metered services are pretty much throwing away all resistance to DoS / DDoS because someone could easily bankrupt us or force us to take down the services based on cost. Part of why OVH is such a good provider for us: dedicated servers, traditional VPS, cloud VPS are unmetered.

buyvm.net is also unmetered and has nicer cheaper guaranteed CPU options compared to OVH Public Cloud instances. They're a smaller provider and generally sold out of most of their VPS products though. Not sure how well they handle DDoS compared to OVH either.

At least for the North America and Europe locations. Their Singapore / Sydney locations have soft caps unless you pay massive amounts for the unmetered bandwidth. That's why we have website servers in Quebec/France/Singapore but update servers only in Quebec/France/Germany.
