I wouldn’t bother, especially since you have no budget. Just find any that has a rescue system and dd the data yourself.
At a guess, it would be extremely unwise for hosting providers to let randoms provide untrusted qcow2 files.
How about like very small dedicated server ?

netcup allows this with a custom image...but not asia unfortunately
This feature will be available in our panel soon(as we allow downloading snapshots and backups)
if you are okay its just a ticket away and we can help to import the image.
in APAC we have Singapore, Sydney and Vietnam.
You are fully able to use this script to restore a custom OS to any VPS
https://github.com/bin456789/reinstallThanks for some options, i see that it allow upload to .qcow2 , but unfortunately the latency is just too high from where i am.
But thanks for some options
No automatic way but I'm happy to upload custom images for clients, assuming the partitions in the existing qcow2 image are under the plan purchased. Check my signature, Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo are APAC locations I have. Let me know what price works for you if you're interested.
Hi there,
If you'd be open to US, Utah, I can do 2C 4G for you (and 40G storage). You can send us your virtual hdd image and we'll add it to your VM for you.
If you wanna check out latencies: us.enginyr.ing

What could go wrong?
Providing a 1 TB qcow2 image for a 10 GB VPS? Wouldn't think there is much else you'd need to check, although there is always the risk that something in the metadata could trigger a buffer overflow in qemu or something similar.
The provider can run qemu-img dd command to copy the uploaded disk image as a new image.
Command parameters specify the block size and block count, so that target disk image cannot increase by size.
That would be a major bug in QEMU.
It can be mitigated by running the above-mentioned qemu-img dd command in an unprivileged container.
