GreenCloud
Global VPS provider with 20+ locations across Asia, Europe, and North America. KVM virtualization and genuine OS freedom for FOSS projects.
What Makes It FOSS-Friendly
GreenCloud offers full KVM virtualization with the ability to mount custom ISOs — you can install literally any operating system that supports KVM. Arch Linux, NixOS, Gentoo, FreeBSD — if it boots, you can run it. No proprietary agent required on your server, no "blessed" software lists.
The sheer number of locations (20+) makes them particularly valuable for distributed FOSS projects needing presence in Asia-Pacific regions where other budget providers are scarce.
Caveats
Support can be slow during Asian business hours, and the Virtualizor panel can be buggy. IPv4 costs extra on some legacy plans. Performance varies significantly by location — benchmark before committing production workloads.
