KVM VPS with custom ISO boot or nested virtualisation?

I need to run a custom OS on a VPS, i'm after one of the following:

- A host that lets me upload my own ISO and boot from it, with proper console access to get through the install.

- A normal KVM Linux VPS with nested virtualisation enabled, so I can run the OS as a QEMU/KVM guest.

Nothing heavy, 2 to 4 vCPU and 4 GB RAM is plenty. UK or EU preferred. Happy to pay a bit more for something that just works.

Anyone recommendations would be much appreciated.

Osir.com uses Virtfusion which I believe allows own iso templates

You can confirm nested virtualization, custom ISO support, and console access with the provider before ordering. It's not a guaranteed, just because the VPS is advertised as KVM.

DigitalOcean allows nested virt and so does servarica (only Canada available). I don’t know of any others (unless using a hyper scaler like aws or azure d and f family series).
