Most people don't seem to be aware that there is a well supported FreeBSD image supported for EC2 these days: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00KSS55FY?sr=0-5&qid=1402079030897 https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00KSS55FY?sr=0-5&qid=... GCE can also run FreeBSD fine if you don't mind messing with KVM images yourself (a quick search should show some threads on how to get started). Many other providers would probably maintain support for this as well if more people spoke about their interests. It's not hard to support on KVM based systems so it's a matter of winning new customers not technical limitations. Of course, it's worth pointing out that it's also easy (and cheap!) to rent hardware at places like Softlayer and Rackspace. Both of these provide support for FreeBSD on the metal. You could then run Jails (very mature and easy to use) or Bhyve (less mature but the guest support is growing at a reasonable pace) on top of this if you need to partition resources. EDIT: I should also note that I saw this company recently. It's a nice and cheap way to get a FreeBSD setup: https://www.vultr.com https://www.vultr.com
