Hosting for .ova or .vhd Watchguard Dimension

Hi,
Im looking for a provider who will allow me to provide an .ova file or .vhd to setup a vps.
I want to run something called watch guard dimension which is basically a custom linux distro that provides a cloud portal to monitor watchguard firewalls and um devices.
I have the .ova file and vhd file but want to host this within the cloud.
I want to source a low cost provider to host this? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Anthony

sounds interesting, i dont know if is possible, because those files are for specific software like virtualbox.

If you let me know what requirements you want I can look at sorting a custom package (including setting the image up).
yeah, good to see if a provider can do that. i have some .ova images i want to run, but not on my pc
Wych...wouldn't a host that offers hyper v hosting just be able to import the vhd file?
I want to say yes, but you'd be better asking someone who has dealt with Hyper-V hosting, which I don't personally have much experience in.
@mikho ?
Yep, a hyper-v provider should be able to just import the VHD.
