Newbie needs help finding a low cost server to install a KVM

I have an app that is a kvm tar.gz. I would like to install it either in cloud or vps for infrequent use. I don't believe I can do that at places like digitalocean.com. Its a high CPU (8+) need but wouldn't get much usage so an hourly rate to spin it up would probably be best but not a deal breaker. I can probably also run it on a lower end machine and am willing to test it out. I am completely new to this realm so appreciate any help and patience for my newbie questions.

    We can satisfy most of your requirements on Luna Node Dynamic.

    If you have a qcow2 image, then you can add it to our control panel by providing a URL in the Images tab. Once saved, you can begin provisioning virtual machines from the image. We have hourly billing so you can delete the VM when not needed and you'll only be charged for the hours that the VM was provisioned for.

    We also have flexible plans that charge for actual CPU and bandwidth usage.

    Awesome. How can I tell if it is a qcow2? I was told it was just a kvm.

  • If you are interested in LA/Dallas or Miami as a location contact Quadranet.com with your requirements!

  • I have this

    Supermicro 6-bay Opteron 1381 8GB 2X2TB SATA Rent Only

    from dacentec for $20/mo

  • @ehk116 what control panel were you using? sure it's kvm and not openvz?

  • I think you'd better go with a dedicated server due to the 8+ core requirement, but we do have hourly plans for both SATA/SSD virtual servers which you may feel free to check out at https://verelox.com/cloud.php - you may also PM me over here with your username and I'll be happy to give you a 24 hours trial so that you can try your software to see whether it would work as desired or not.
