Ok, there's mainly negative of mitigated feedback here. Let's go further in the discussion with positive feedback.
So, I personally own some kimsufi's, and I run a hosting structure for CS students with another since 4 years.
The things you have to know about Kimsufi is:
- they are full dedicated servers, fully capable of handling a decent charge
- they are second hand hardware, already made profitable (that's why the price is so low)
- you should change change them every 4 years so that you won't run into hardware issues
- you can do whatever you want with them, there's really no chance to lose a kimsufi thanks to the remote control console which can make a reboot on a minimal image
- you can do whatever you want with them, really. The bandwidth is really free and unlimited, no bullshit.
- the OVH network is really strong. In 5 years of use, I've never seen any downtime of any of my servs.
For me, that's the best choice for non-critical hosting.
They are unbelievably much cheaper than everyone around (except online.net, who has a weaker network), with twice as many features, their greatest community manager is the CEO (checkout @olesovh), things just work everyday. When they don't, just check http://travaux.ovh.com . No bullshit about the problems (cc PlanetHoster, DreamHost and the like).
I can only agree, you just have to know what you're getting into, there's no SLA, but that's the deal and why these are so cheap. If you want high-quality hosting then you can go with OVH's main line or the SoYouStart line, but what's nice with these is you get to take advantage of OVH's nice network and reliable infrastructure, for really rock-bottom prices. ...I swear I don't work for them, I just really enjoy this company... they even have a bi-monthly newsletter which I keep in my bathroom to read about how they deploy their new DSL infrastructure, or their international fiber backbones!

I'll be happy to answer questions if you have.
