Okay, you are from the US. Tor is legal in the US and legal in EU. You should be fine. I would not recommend running a Tor Exit if you are from Russia, UAE or Turkey. I used to have 20 Exists with Online.net and I got lots of abuse but they were fine after verifying me. And by the way, you dont have much choice with traffic flat and Tor exit friendly anyway.

Depends on your country if this is a good idea. If you dont want any
personal data with your VPS, get a bulletproof VPS but even offshore
ISPs ban Tor Exists together with CP and hate speech.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Tor Exists.
Enjoy your stay.

How about HostSailor? They accept Bitcoin, and don't authenticate
customers. But I don't know how they'd handle Tor relays.

This is a CSV file that TDP is slowly tinkering with. While it's
focused
on BSD-providing VPSs, most offer more.

I asked online.net about their cloud ssd vps service and tor and
have the following dialog going:

"
Hello. I'm interested in running a Tor relay exit node on your cloud
SSD vps product. Is this allowed? I would be running a reduced reduced
exit policy. Thank you.

By legal services, do you mean a mechanism in order to respond to
abuse reports? if so, i have covered that need by the following:

1.> i publish a tor readme html page on the server for anyone to
browse to learn about tor and what my server is doing. it also includes
links to the tor project's own pages with additional information. I
would also be published in the tor atlas showing my node's information
for all to see that i am a tor node.
2.> i publish contact information so that complaint concerns can be
addressed to me directly as needed.

will this suffice in your opinion? could you also make a note on
your end that I would be running an exit relay so that you know, in
case you do wind up receiving complaints about my node's traffic? I
find (and have read) that with a reduced reduced exit policy the chance
for complaint generating traffic is greatly minimized anyway. thank
you.
"

so they seem to be kewl with it but in your opinions, what does he
mean by "legal activities"? Thanks.

Uggh, monthly recurring Bitcoin payments sounds painful. Nah.

Maybe not a good idea then with online.net. they seem to offer vps' in Paris and Amsterdam and I have no idea what their LE would do when handed my info. So forget it.

Ok, any decently priced unmetered providers with servers in the US? I am in the US.

I'll check out the csv someone mentioned as well. Thanks.

They also just added this response:

Hello,

Thanks for providing us more information about what services you're going to use in your server.

By the way, it is very difficult to give you an exhaustive reply in advance, there is not a full text explaining what can be considered as illegal and what legal instead.

But we ensure to apply the EU law as general set of rules, and the French law as specific set of rules.

Besides, it is impossible to give you all details about that unfortunately.

Finally , regarding the exit policy, it depends on the abuse and our security team treats case by case according to the specific abuse committed.

Best regards,
"

Thanks again everyone.
