Do some searching on the net. Overall, the tools they give you is awesome. But there are plenty of people out there who've had bad experiences.

You can register a domain name at their site and pay for that with a credit card, but can't do the payments for the ISP service itself the same way. That has to be taken care of with Paypal, check, or C2IT.

CLIQ Services , the small Oakland-based ISP I work for, runs 100% on OpenBSD servers and they've been very good to us. We're also 100% worker-owned.

Are all their data centres located in the Hong Kong region?
Or should I say, the data centres they are using. Since those pics look way too good for the prices they're asking.
Reminded me of my old Telco/Stock Exchange days.
I'm currently very happy with www.bizintegrators.com. Root Route seems too good to be true?

rootr.net uses openbsd since launch (was 2.6 I think) nearly everywhere. most of the customers are programmers, which is why the servers have all those standard and non-standard modules. We also provide mass/bulk DNS for other providers... And when business permits, the extras goes either to east asian charities, or openbsd HQ.
If the USA re-stabilize, we may re-open services there at the end of the year. If not, possibly Canada ou France ou la Suisse, where we're looking for partnerships with similar openbsd orientations (consider this a call).

And yep, I'm the same boris that sponsored deadly.org a few years ago with colocation at the Mae-west. In that other life I was the supervisor of a data center for another good ISP; and also took care of routing and dns for a Telecom IX in San Jose. I settled in Hong Kong, a 100% geek city island, happy here working for rootr.net in engineering.
The curious monkeys and elephants now knows.
Monkey eats peanuts, elephant eats peanut shells, and since there are many well-fed elephants, there must be really a lot of monkeys.

My webserver runs on i386 (PHP, Apache, webmail etc)
My mailserver runs on sparc64 (postfix+sasl2+imaps).
The firewall in front of it runs OpenBSD on sparc64. Both boxes are in a DMZ.
I basically never touch any of these boxes (minus checking logs for attempted breakins); the boxes just sit there being pretty.

Still love OpenBSD though.. keep up the good work.

http://www.codefusionis.com/ is the starting
point where to look.
The bonus point: from the reward (eg, traffic
which is paid for but not used) he has enough
of a margin to host BSD projects such as
open.bsdcows.net on that box.

I like the qmail + vpopmail + qmailadmin etc setup, but its not going to work in a chroot.
Does anyone know of a setup which;
Allows 'postmasters' of a domain to easily alter virtual pop3 accounts for their domain ( like qmailadmin ), while at the same time running in chroot and with a minumum of bloat?

vpopmail be not recommended.
Look at vmailmgr.org

We have two servers, one for mail and the other for running web aplications (developed by us) and now I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't change the stability and security warranties of OpenBSD for any other solution (comercial or not).

I only had some problems with their email policies, that are too much "closed" for real world Internet, requiring to have some email aliases on other servers with relaxed policies.

I've always been very pleased with OpenBSD's stability, especially after the time the root disk failed on one of our more important servers. It kept serving http, albeit with a small delay :)
