I too had a bad experience with Baltic Servers.
I purchased a VPS from them on 03 Jan 2012, located in Lithuania, which I used for an exit node (using the Reduced Exit Policy of that time).
I paid for a year in advance, so I was reluctant to just walk away from them.
08 Jan: Received abuse complaint; given 24 hours to respond 21 Feb: Received abuse complaint; given 24 hours to respond 11 Apr: Received abuse complaint; given 24 hours to respond 20 Jun: Notice that IP was listed on opm.tornevall.org; addr was null-routed 20 Jun: Notice that IP was listed on tor.dan.me.uk; addr was null-routed 14 Aug: Notice that IP was listed on CBL; addr was null-routed 17 Oct: Notice that IP was listed on spamhaus.org; addr was null-routed 24 Oct: Notice that IP was listed on spamhaus.org; addr was null-routed 06 Nov: Received abuse complaint: addr was null-routed, and Baltic demanded 20 Eur and the re-nstall of the OS to unblock the IP address
I couldn't wait for that pre-paid year to be over.

Hi,
My personal experience with them was awful... but then again it could've just been my personal experience. I paid ahead of time for one "hybrid" server from BalticServers and I will try to avoid them at all cost (Total amount: 164.59 EUR) per month/ 6 months. They may have had improved their service over time though; I don't know but I won't put my money in again to find out.

Hello,
I can't say much about BalticServers in general, but their AS currently houses nine relays, two of which are exits (search compass.torproject.org for AS59642). You're increasing diversity as long as you're not adding to the upper half of networks, so I think that should be fine.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I've been looking for a budget dedicated server to host an exit node on, and the best option I've found is BalticServers. However, they're already listed on the GoodBadISPs wiki page, and because they're in Northeast Europe (Lithuania, to be precise) I'm concerned that their ISP already has more exit nodes than is healthy for network diversity. Is it a good idea to host another exit node there? If you think there's a better option, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me either publicly or privately.
