Hello,

   We at SmartServ Hosting, http://www.smart-serv.net/, have been 
offering VPS containers supporting FreeBSD for over a year and 
previously ran all our services from FreeBSD on bare metal before moving 
into our virtualization environment where we continue to use FreeBSD for 
our core services. We have hosts available in US and France currently.
