FreeBSD vps
I find it hard to locate VPS providers with FreeBSD support. One could look for the underlying virtualization and hope for FreeBSD support if it's KVM or XEN-HVM, but in many cases this doesn't work, e.g. because the vendor doesn't commit for non-Linux support.
Can you list here your recent experience with VPS providers offering FreeBSD containers?
Here's what I saw:
- hetzner.de - good performance, uptime, support
- nqhost.com - excellent performance, uptime, support
- chicagovps.net
- edis.at
- photonvps.com - messy support, stay away
- arpnetworks.com - unreliable and messy support, stay away

In case you haven't seen you can see some providers who offer BSD here > lowendbox.com/tag/freebsd/ .
Out of those I'm currently with EDIS, but I'm not using BSD but they've been fantastic for my needs.
I believe @mitgib (hostiagtion) offer Freebsd in North Carolina and Los Angeles.
With KVM or XEN-HVM, you should be able to upload and use your own iso image for installation.
Below FreeBSD images available from VPS admin panels.
EDIS:
Prometeus (http://iperweb.com/site/budget-vps.php, http://www.prometeus.net/):
Hetzner: did not found any FreeBSD image.
Other listed: don't know.
chicagovps does freebsd????
also hvm sucks
Correct, isos are available for KVM. :)
+1 for hostigation
You can run FreeBSD under KVM since virtio is supported in 9.0 and later
We have it in our ISO library :)
FreeBSD also seen as available for KVM vps's from BuyVM & Ramhost.
FreeBSD recently installed on vps's from Hostigation in North Carolina and Los Angeles.
Nqhost sucks
I provide OpenBSD by default in all node.. FreeBSD only if my client asking me to add it.. well, "open" sounds better than "free".. that's only me.. :P
Please explain yourself. They have good performance, I had about 6 minutes downtime in 2 years, their support is unusually competent and normally replies to inquiries within 5 minutes.
