I found this plan on OVH. What is your take on this ? Is it wise to go for it ?

You should survey around or try first.
Personally, after knowing how to run and administer own server using dynamic dns, I have lesser interest in hosting services including vps.
I plan to later convert to ssd and quad core processor.
Good luck with the new vps!
Dunno, last year I found something in that area of price, it was mostly okay until the VPS got stuck for about 4 days without any possibility to connect neither over SSH nor from the host control panel, I had to wait the support that did something after 4/5 days when I had already migrated to another provider.
If memory serves me right, OVH is a well known hosting provider, I guess the support should be a bit better.
ETA: and regarding self-hosted-dynamic-dns, if I had to use my internet connection, I wouldn't even be able to support the first scan by google without saturating the upload bandwidth. :P http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5444771084
Also, it requires you to keep your computer up 24/24 7/7, if you have to provide a minimum of backup in case of problems you have to have a second computer handy, etc.
Honestly too much hassles. :P
I agree with Emanuele, support is not the best part OVH can offer. But the quality of their VPS is getting better. We use at work 3 vps OVH cloud, price is less than 10€/month and they are all working fine

Hassles are fun. :D
damn ema that's slow
I'm quite aware of it! XD
I meant that my internet speed is pretty close to emanuele's, a tad faster.
