UK based low end vps provider with debian 64bit minimal images
Hello,
I'm searching a low end vps provider with 32-96MB ram (vswap or burst ram would be nice but not required) and at least 200GB traffic/month bandwith. I've already tried/found httpzoom and DotVPS and the price is good, but both don't provide debian 64 bit minimal images 
With minimal I mean images with not (or not much) extra software just ssh and a ram usage of 4-10MB in idle running.
Thanks for your answers

I asked HttpZoom weeks ago to add uptodate Minimal Image, but it looks so that they dont care about it. Its realy outdated....
lol. I asked them too, a month ago and they said they wrote it on the todo list. Today I asked again and they said I'm the only customer who ask for that and that's why it doesn't have high priority.
@Jack Yeah that's me
I've already answered you. Thanks for your great offer 
@Jack.... every host that i know offers near UpToDate Images.
So it would be nice when you would do this.....
Okay I have to correct myself, httpzoom "has" a debian 64bit minimal image, but it needs 40MB in idle running. I compared the running processes with my other 64bit minimal image server and they are the same, but the other server needs 4MB ram
Thank you Jack and for your great ram upgrade too! That's really customer friendly and I will buy one UK VPS as soon as you've one minimal image
Hey,
With HTTP-Zoom if you are on a 64mb VPS and running at 40mb ram isn't suitable we actually have a promotion for existing customers that allows you to upgrade to 96mb for free. Email sales <@>; httpzoom.com.
We do care about customer requests, however if we do have an image which is minimal, but is not suitable it will not take priority over more pressing projects we currently have.
@httpzoom
Yes I have to say, your service is good. I think your support is one of the best in this business.
If NAT IPv4 with 20 UDP+20 TCP ports and native IPv6 is any good for you I can do that in the UK or NL via http://lowendspirit.com for €3.00 p/year
I have the debain 6 64bit templates which I have minimised to run at around 4mb idle.
@Jack ordered! Thank you.
@Anthony I'm already customer
I love your minimal images 
Some good news and bad news.
One of our billing guys @Sunny_HTTP_Group saw this thread and managed to reduce our 64bit Debian 6 minimal to 9mb usage and get the packages updated.
That's the good news, bad news is he'll probably now ask for a pay raise! :-(
What he doesn't realise is he'll now be tasked with creating more as we never knew he could do this!
@httpzoom but the image isn't live, is it? My VPS needs ~34MB with fresh installed 64bit minimal.
Hey,
Image should be live under: Debian 6 64bit Minimal.
If you are having issues a support ticket should be submitted.
