Pick any VPS provider offering KVM, and they'll likely offer the ability to insert your own boot CD, from which you can install NixOS. I use DireVPS for a small personal server, for example, although you'll have minor issues installing (you'll need to configure the network from the command line before starting to install, as well as specify the network configuration in the NixOS configuration.nix separately).
You can also get NixOS running on EC2, if you happen to have an account: https://nixos.org/wiki/NixOS_on_Amazon_EC2 https://nixos.org/wiki/NixOS_on_Amazon_EC2

- listic 12y agoDo they explicitly advertise KVM or Docker support often?
- vertex-four 12y agoIf they're running one of those, yes. In general, if a VPS provider doesn't tell you what they're running somewhere (it's usually Xen or OpenVZ, KVM's rarer, Docker's a new platform that doesn't really do the same things), you want to stay away from them.
