That is some impressive pricing. 32 GB ram, 20 TB Traffic at 49€ / month is cheap. Is there any way of getting VMware or Xen on thus? I have a project ( http://www.opentestsearch.com/ http://www.opentestsearch.com/ ) that currently uses 9 small virtual machines, running some different operating systems and software that can't easily run on the same server. Currently colo has been the only viable option. Cloud servers would be too expensive and no cheap dedicated host I know about support virtualizations systems like VMware or Xen.

Not sure about Xen or VMWare, but I use their auto-installer for getting Ubuntu on their servers, after which you can just install KVM.

  Unfortunately I also need some Windows servers :( But running the Linux ones on one server, and the two Windows ones somewhere else is of course an option.

    You could probably install Ubuntu, install xen-hypervisor on it and use that Ubuntu as your Dom0. Haven't tried though.

You can install anything you want on them. Ask them to attach Lara (their KMVoIP system) and give them the ISO to boot the machine... I had VMWare on one of these boxes previously, and they had the installer up and running for me within an hour or so of asking...

I successfully ran ESXi on it, without any issues. I had burn the image and insert it into the server, had to pay a small fee for that, but nothing noteworthy. I think I had to get a different NIC as well, an Intel one, costed like 30 eur or something like that.

I have succesfully run Xen on 2 of their root servers for 3-4 years (with 5 to 8 virtual machines on each), ending this episode only recently (not because of technical difficulties). There were some occasional problems with Xen itself (some virtual machines went to zombie state from time to time - I hope Xen is more reliable nowadays), but nothing in connection to a hosting provider.
