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

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.

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.
