A $1/month VPS from a provider which is in business for over a decade?
Good luck
nice shitpost.
It's not impossible I have an 1€ VPS with Liteserver. Unfortunately, they are too lazy to move their old systems. Instead, they leave their customers on old systems.
Why do you think your €1/mo VPS is on ancient systems?
Well, you get what you pay for
It's not just old hardware, they are playing with the security of their customers.
Well, I pay 4-8 usd / month for each of my relays.
Wouldn't really go below that. Especially for established providers that don't have big promos.
Any recommendations ?
melbicom is prem, servarica, hostiko.
BuyVM, IncogNET, hostsolutions, ihos tart, c1v from sunny Italy
That's how he got a red neck.
from my own experience
impossible
reguards.
Personally, I try to increase diversity in Tor network, not just add another German, French or Dutch relay so I currently have relays in Uzbekistan with pscloud.uz, Angola with elende.ao and Nigeria with sitehub.agency.
In this comment I shared my findings of providers in countries where there're almost no Tor relays.
I would want to try them out in the future.
There're of some established privacy and Tor friendly providers like @servers_guru (Servers Guru) , @MannDude (IncogNET), @naphtha (Kyun), UDN but many relays are already running on their networks.
These are all $12/year: https://lowendbox.com/blog/1-vps-1-usd-vps-per-month/
Whether they've been in business for > 10 years, have the latest CPUs as you're demanding, or allow TOR is something you'd have to investigate.
idk if they've been in business for 10 years but they certainly aren't a brand-new summer host: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/205340/khanwebhost-bring-exclusive-vps-deals-in-sg-jp-hk-fr-nl-de-se-us-uk-turkey-1-month/p1
The cheapest VPS could be around $2/monthly
Sorry @tentor but you have pretty limited bandwidth...
1, 2 or even 5 TB / month won't do for high bandwidth Tor relay.
You have only 3 relays running, 2 of those are probably yours.
Add some unlimited bandwidth plans and we can talk
WHY not USe ANyONe Protocol .

For a $12/year VPS, I agree the choice is tight, but stability and uptime matter more if you want to run something serious like a TOR relay or your own private VPN. Most ultra-budget VPS providers either oversell or cap resources. Personally, I ended up choosing NordVPN
for key situations — reliable, fast, and no logging. Sometimes it’s better to pay a little more for peace of mind and full support.
which provider?
And they will still fake their Poland and Croatia locations
Polska gurom - please don't fake Poland. @pinky1234
I listed who I use in my next comment.
At no point have we publicly offered or advertised a Poland location. The subnet that appears to be listed as "Poland" is actually operated by one of our customers for their own services. It is not part of our public hosting locations, nor is it promoted on our website or in our offers.
Our Croatian location is fully legitimate and verifiable. Anyone is welcome to perform a traceroute, which will clearly show that the traffic routes through a Croatian upstream provider to our infrastructure.
Every location we advertise is genuine, and we exclusively use our own equipment and network resources at each location.
Oh yeah? But the subnet is called MAXKO HOSTING POLAND and is in your own geofeed set as Poland

Your HR subnets go through Giganet, and they only have a DC in Hungary & subnets located there. I would expect them to at least mention it in their roadmap
https://www.rackhost.hu/about
Only some of your subnets now go through Telomach, which is in Zagreb, yeah, but most of your spoofed ones don't, and are in Hungary instead. I honestly can't even recall you having this upstream few months ago
Well...

A more up to date one, when you added Bulgaria. Croatia was still fake.

@zGato MAXKO Hosting owns more than 11,000 IP addresses, but only a small portion is used for our public hosting services. Only the subnets listed below have 100% accurate GEO location and are officially advertised as MAXKO Hosting locations. Other subnets may be assigned various GEO locations based on internal use, client lease, or future plans, but unless we publicly offer a location for hosting services, it should not be considered as part of our official presence. This does not mean we are misrepresenting our services in any way.
We are fully transparent and have nothing to hide. For clarity, here are our main advertised locations and subnets:
IPv4:
45.95.169.0/24, 45.95.171.0/24 – Croatia
45.95.168.0/24 – Hungary
45.9.156.0/24 – Bulgaria
102.211.56.0/22 – South Africa
150.40.127.0/24 – Netherlands (from 1 August)
IPv6:
2a0e:bfc0::/32, 2a0e:bfc1::/32 – Croatia
2a0e:bfc2::/32 – Hungary
2a0e:bfc7::/40 – Bulgaria
2a0e:bfc7:100::/40 – Netherlands (from 1 August)
2c0f:6c0::/28 – South Africa
Only these subnets are used for our public hosting offers and have native routing in their respective countries.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me directly. I'm always open to a friendly and transparent discussion.
Better if you not use "budget", cheap services to host TOR (exit /relay) nodes, or public (open) VPN's. It's generate a lot of malicious traffic, and problems to the hosting provider. Most provider not allow it on their cheap/budget plans, or they simple stop providing "cheap offers" because of the abuses and the generated high traffic. And the 'normal' users will be not able to to take the opportunity to get something good for cheap. I think, the "12$/year" is not enough for the most provider for the risk what these services generate. Maybe 12$/month.. But this is my opinion only.
We are a VPS host which allows Tor relays, including exits, albeit with a reduced HTTP/DNS-only policy. I in fact run eight relays myself on our platform.
The reality is Tor relays use a lot of bandwidth and generate abuse.
While our policy has generated basically zero complaints (so far), I do understand why most hosts disallow Tor, or only allow non-exit relays: people will happily send malicious traffic over proxy networks like Tor.
Also, many low-cost plans won't have unmetered bandwidth because they'd otherwise lose money on thse plans.
