Added OVH stuff
=== Prgmr ===
Prgmr is a discount Xen host used by several VTLUUG members. After Linode's 2013 upgrades, Prgmr is not as competitive at higher price tiers.
 
 
=== OVH (Kimsufi) ===
 
The Kimsufi brand is a low cost, low power dedicated server service provided by OVH. It is comprable in cost to many vps providers but is dedicated hardware. OVH has extensive peering issues with the US resulting in poor connections to their France and EU based datacenters. A recently built DC in Canada should help with some of this but will not fully alleviate the issue most likely. They do provide many ISO's with the grsec set of kernel hardening compiled in and IPv6 subnets come with all kimsufi plans. They do have a habit of putting an SSH backdoor on to your server, "so they can help you in the event of a problem" but this just serves as another possible point of failure. US residents also will not have access to the same plans as residents of the EU, who often can recieve much more favorable pricing.
