Another vote for Onapp, I was able to check out their booth during Hostingcon and it was quite amazing.

Here's an outline of what's required to create you're own cloud.

Have a look at DedicatedNOW's private cloud service. They got a nice full featured OnApp cloud setup for somewhere around $1000. Seems like it's something that they've been boasting on their Twitter and FB pages.

If you are still looking for a hypervisor I STRONGLY recommend VMWare. We use VMWare exclusively in our data center and we love it. VMWare is really amazing software.

VMWare might be overkill if you are just looking to try out a cloud deployment but if you are looking at doing this stuff long term it is well worth the upfront investment (both time and money wise) to get to know VMWare.

I'm actually looking at setting up a remote-PC. Have no software or data stored on my local PC, but everytime I put on my PC, I'd just connect to a VPS/Dedicated server/Colocated server which would be a complete running system and house all apps like OpenOffice that I need along with all my data and use that system remotely. Same way that long ago I used an email client and had to download my email and if anything went wrong I'd lose everything, so now I use Gmail. The only difference would be with Gmail I'm using someone else's service. Now I want to setup a complete system of my own which would have my email client, Open office, etc.. and even store all my data. In short I'd be using a computer remotely.

I'm thus looking for an inexpensive service where I could install UEC and some open source tools - (I'd deffinately need KVM service).
Would a VPS work good for this 'project'?
Any suggestions where I could get an inexpensive VPS service wich would give me about 1GB RAM, good processing speeds, etc..

Virtualization inside virtualiztion? LOL. You need dedicated.
