OVH also offers SmartOS as an option. It's not a bleeding edge platform
image though.
I use them and it works, no complaints but there not great... I'm just a
cheap bastered :)

Thanks, I found CloudSigma, Switzerland, seems a good option.
They opened a trial account for me, but I had problem booting the CD.
First time it worked, but I had no virtio support, so I had to stop and
restart with HD in ide mode.
No way to run it anymore, in any way, not even starting from scratch in
virtio mode.
Is there any particular option I must let them know to allow kvm run
illumos guests?

Hi,
looks like impossible to find a hosting provider to run an illumos
distro of my own on their virtualization infrastructure.
Everybody wants you to run their windows or linux machines.
I need some virtualized XStreamOS machines running around, but I can't
find one allowing me to use my own iso install.
Why?
Do you have any durable solution to this (a part from housing your own
hardware, something we already do...)?
There are a few. I've run both OmniOS and Tribblix on Bytemark
https://www.bytemark.co.uk/ [1]
Specifically the page
https://www.bytemark.co.uk/hosting/bigv/ [2]
and their support is really good too. (They love people who run
"unusual" things.
When running Tribblix I found a bug in their DHCP implementation and
they just
got straight back to me and fixed it, and were delighted I had found
it.)
There are a number of other companies set up the same way, exposing raw
qemu/KVM, which I've heard good things about but haven't tried
personally. Eg.
Vultr

If you could create an XStreamOS dataset for SmartOS, then you could
use presumably Joyent or another SDC provider such as vrocket.io [4]
