Hey tech people,


I’m diving into a new project that requires running a custom OS build from an ISO, and I’m considering deploying it in the APAC region specifically Tokyo, for proximity to my user base.


The catch? Not all VPS providers support custom ISO booting, especially in affordable plans. While researching, I came across a few options and also reviews around the best VPS hosting Tokyo services, but most seem vague on ISO-level control.


Has anyone here successfully booted from a custom ISO on a Tokyo-based VPS?


Would love to hear:



Which VPS provider did you use (KVM preferred)Any quirks in their rescue/bootloader setupNetwork performance vs flexibility trade-offs



Appreciate any thoughts, especially if someone has tried this with niche Linux/BSD builds.
