OpenVZ box in France required
Afternoon all - does anyone have a 'go to' company that provides boxes in France? Not looking for anything heavy, just a box to host 5 or 6 domains on. Don't particularly want to go straight to OVH as I do like to have someone that may actually respond if I need support!
Price isn't top of the list but someone dependable and a semi decent uptime required!
Cheers

Another biggish name would be Scaleway, but there's a number of local LET homeboys including @exception0x876 from wishosting.
For some reason I thought Scaleway was something to do with OVH. Guess the old brain is getting confused, looks ideal though. Thanks @BeardyUnixGuy
Oneprovider.com They are resellers.

If you are looking for NAT VPS, I would recommend @quadhost a.k.a i-83.net
@MikeA definitely.
Wishosting is nice. Got a NAT box there.
Not France (but close): Would you consider Leaseweb Amsterdam / NL? Excellent bandwidth rates, reliable and good support. Always an option of you are close to the border in France
@i83 NAT boxes are great if you want a NAT box (I have several) but NAT does impose some administrative headaches, and web sites on NAT boxes are more susceptible to DDOS than you'd be with a dedicated ipv4 (i.e. if someone else's box gets dos'd, it takes you with them).
OVH support is notoriously spotty but their new generation vps-ssd are usually solid.
Scaleway/Online have premium support tiers so if you want good support from them, you have to pay for it
. They're ok otherwise, though not that quick.
Online support is one of the worst I've ever experienced. Once I had 7 e3v3's with them some via guys from here whom I've paid via PayPal.
They called network cables 'wires', just FYI and they ripped me with something outrageous like a 120 euros fee
online.net is also in france and provides boxes right? if so then there's them

Been using them for a while now and have a France and California, USA VPS and both have worked great and the price you can't beat.
Thanks to everyone - I now have a good list of providers to try
