Re: [tor-relays] Questions to ask exit node providers



That's not true. I found plenty of providers that do WHOIS
reassignments, for typical rented servers in the 50-100 Euro price
range. OVH does it for any customer, Hetzner does it for any customer,
regardless of price. (They are both not suitable for exits though)

It is purely a matter of labor, going through the typical hoster lists
and offers, collecting lots of sales@ addresses, and sending them a mass
email that you are interested in their server offers but need WHOIS
reassignment. I would not mention Tor in the first email. This is how we
started, with mails to ~50 hosting providers.
