cloud hosting with bring your own iso image os install
I am currently looking for a cloud hosting providor that will let me use my own ISO image and install the operating system myself, i found vcloud express will let me do that but it is really expensive so i was trying to find something cheaper. I came across thrustvps.com but i havne't been able to contact sales about if they have that option.
does anyone have a recommended hosting company to bring your own iso?

I think most hosting companies can do this, Just depends on what kind of time they want to put towards their customers. Or maybe they will have a small charge for this. Please let us know about the guys you are looking at.

I am looking for something with 2 to 4 cores and 2-4 GB of memory. I have looked at a lot of providers don't remember all of them but none of them had that bring your own iso option.

No preference for location or anything else? Here are a few that should be able to do it out of the box without any manual interference from the provider: ElasticHosts (UK/US), Serverlove (UK), FlexiScale (UK), CloudSigma (CH) and SkaliCloud (MY)

Thanks for the list. I am looking for something located in the US, preferably on the East Coast. Looks like ElasticHosts is pretty good the pricing is just about par with others.

are there providers that will let you upload your own vm install to deploy on their servers? so if i build a server on my vmware server then take that and upload to their cloud could i run it from there? I think i saw one place that did that i don't remember. I am trying to keep my costs down.

If the VMware hosting provider is running vCloud Director you can easily upload your own image or install from your own media.

You can do it with pretty much any system. I know with Applogic it wont allow the customer to do it. So the Admin will have to do it.

well i tried using vcloud express provider terremark and they have the ablity to upload your own ISO but it is through the web and can take a very long time to upload. I tried to install my own custom ISO linux distro which is around 500+ MB and their service didn't like that, the install was taking well over 3+ hours, so i finally gave up and went to bed seeing as it was around 4am. Their customer support is very, very helpful I had problem after problem and Langdon was working with me trying to get through all the problems. I finally got to the point where i could use my iso but it was far too slow to use.
But I would recommend using terremark as long as you don't need your own iso.

Most providers will offer this as a manual job at the moment - the next version of Onapp (which we use) will add this functionality to the platform, so customers can access a library of ISO images, or upload their own for boot / mount.

When searching for providers, you may also want to look for providers that not only import VM images, but also export your VM images.
