Howdy,

You should clarify what sort of hosting service you're looking for. A
normal cloud service won't see you running your own hypervisors. A
server farm will see you deploy your own hardware with whatever
storage you choose to install. Only a "bare metal" cloud service would
meet both of your listed requirements, where you lease both the
equipment and hosting service from the provider. However, combined
with your BGP requirement your options are very limited and expanding
storage usually means "lease a different one of our servers."
