Looking for a cheap (tiny) UK-based VPS
I'm looking for a UK-based VPS (mainly as an SSH tunnel endpoint) with about 64 to 96 MBs of RAM and 1 GB disk space, but I can only seem to find offers way above those specs.
I don't need tun/tap interfaces (tunnelling over SSH is fine), so OpenVZ would suffice, but I would very much prefer KVM or possibly Xen.
Can anyone recommend a VPS hoster with a reasonable offer that I might have missed?

Lowendstock.com seems to be a good list. There's not a lot of non-US listings there, but as darkshire points out Lowendspirit might be a good one.
Inceptionhosting/lowendspirit would probably be your best choice.
Turns out I just wasn't looking hard enough: http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/27319/various-uk-xen-offers-from-onepoundwebhosting
So far, they seem really quite awesome, and since it's meant as a loss leader, it's also cheaper than inceptionhosting.
How is that cheaper? I just went to sign up and where it says "12 month price" it turns out that is per month when you go to check out. I'm not saying it isn't a good deal, but that's not cheaper than Inceptionhosting which advertises 3EUR per year.
@Ole_Juul, I was refering to inceptionhosting's KVM offers, which start at 5€ per month.
The 3€-a-year OpenVZ offer is interesting, but not quite as flexible as I would like (especially considering the alternatives I've found).

I would go Onepoundwebhosting without a doubt, really stable, they own their equipment and manage it well. Literally zero problems in I think coming on two years, any maintenence is well notified and done in well advance.
minivps is good, In WHT there are many positive reviews about minivps.
OnePoundHosting is stable and reliable, especially when price 128mb XenPV/XenHVM year plans is $12.5 (BLACKFRIDAY code). But it seems all ones are out of stock now.

Few more stock added of the 128mb PV Black Friday plans
