usually you don't get to run "whatever OS". Amazon EC2 is a good
example. Look at what OS they support.

Technically the only way you could run nested Xen is by using a HVM
domU. Even then you'd get close to dead snail performance, and you can
only have PV guests.

You might be better of with managed dedicated servers. Seriously. It's
available under $100/mo (search "dedicated server" on google).
However, if you plan to use it for Xen, I highly recommend you get
ones with remote console, which might be somewhat more expensive.
