I run a middle relay at home but now I’m planning to also lease a VPS to run an exit node. I’d appreciate any suggestions for a good hosting provider. My first choice would have been BUYVM, but it seems they’re always out of stock. This will be my first time working with a VPS and Linux, so wish me luck!

I don't have much experience, but I think you may do a first selection from https://community.torproject.org/relay/community-resources/good-bad-isps/. However you should check provider's conditions anyway, as many items in this list are some years old and may be outdated. Good luck!

The best providers are where there are few other relays. On OrNetStats you can research (exit) providers where there are only one or two relays. https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/#exit-families https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/#autonomous-systems-by-cw-fraction

Frantech is unfortunately overrun with exits. But just like FlokiNet, for the first experiences with Tor exit and abuse tickets, recommended. For both, note the AUP! Register an account beforehand and check Frantech/BuyVM always at the beginning of the month 6.-10. Unpaid invoices are terminated on 6th of the month ;-) https://buyvmstock.com/
