Looking around for a VPS and most of them are near the $50/month mark, and then I came across these -

https://www.ovh.co.uk/vps/vps-ssd.xml

Why are they so cheap? They have good specs, support Windows (using them for SEO tools) and are from a reliable company. 1 GBP equals $1.30 USD. I think I'm missing something here.

Actually the specs are still somwhat unknown, they aren't going much into details about the CPU.

And was the vps as advertised? Do you have any complaints about it?

Just go with Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure Cloud. You'll get the best price and quality. They own the servers and they use them to power their own websites (bilions of requests per second).

I use OVH and vouch for them.

They are cheap because you need to install the OS yourself and pay for cpanel/windows licenses (if you want to run these things)

They are cheap because they have their own DC and use their own hardware. If you see how they do it, you will understand why it is so cheap.
