Dated? They're probably the only place that isn't $comedy "bare metal cloud" pricing that not only has an API for their $5/m servers but also the panel is a reasonably modern SPA that implements that API and uses OAuth for login

Has it been replaced since I last used it in ~2016? This is not the interface I had to use at all.
This is the interface they had when I used them last:

Yeah this is not at all what you use now. It's an Angular SPA.
It is still a mess of separate accounts, but you can use email addr to log in instead of random-numbers generated handle.
The OVHCloud US is completely separated for legal purposes, from what I remember. No account sharing, different staff, OVH EU cannot help you at all with US accounts.

Yes it changed. It was replaced by a more modern version a few years ago (but the transition was painful, as not everything was implemented in the new version when they started to deploy it).
e.g. They have a 4core, 16gb ram server for $22/mo which is 25% of what my preferred provider, Linode, charges.
Now, it comes with older consumer hardware (that one is a sandy bridge i5), and about as much support as the price tag suggests, as well as a dated management interface, but when I used to run a modded minecraft server as a college student, which needed excessive amounts of RAM and could be easily upset by load spikes on other clients, then it was a no-brainer, even if I would expect the modern-ish Xeons Linode uses to win on a core for core basis.
