I second the recommendation for Vultr. Loading an OpenBSD ISO and using that to install OpenBSD is a very straightforward process and it works very well in my experience. I have had a Vultr VPS running OpenBSD 5.9 for the last few months. It is part of a test to see whether it will function as a replacement for my exisiting FreeBSD and Debian VPS instances. I have been impressed enough that I plan to replace my FreeBSD and Debian instances with OpenBSD instances before the end of the year.
