 Be sure to provide useful information like how much bandwidth you pushed, whether you thought the deal was cheap or expensive, how hard you had to work to make them understand what's going on, how long your server has been running, and whether you'd recommend them to others. Also include dates.
 
-Since non-exits do not attract complaints, it should be fine to run them without contacting the hoster first. Make sure you understand their policies regarding bandwidth, especially on "unlimited" (fair use) contracts. For exit relays, you should read the fine Tor Exit Guidelines first.

Make sure you understand their policies regarding bandwidth, especially on "unlimited" (fair use) contracts. For exit relays, you should read the fine [Tor Exit Guidelines](tor-exit-guidelines) first.

[metrics](https://metrics.torproject.org/) is a great tool that allows you to group probabilities by country and AS (autonomous systems), so you can more easily identify networks you want to avoid.

-| Deepnet Solutions | deepnetsolutions.com | English | They specifically allow Tor relays (not exits) on their dedicated IPV4 VPSs  NOT on any NAT or OHM packages. \\ Some of their locations have a lot of consensus weight (AS12876 and AS16276), maybe not so good for diversity. |
-| Andrews & Arnold | aa.net.uk | English | UK. IPv6. Note: Very very pro-privacy, has made public their net freedom and anti-surveillance stance. Zero censorship. |
