[tor-relays] Cheap exit-friedly VPS provider

[Andrej Manduch]

Hi Alexey-san,

I'm running tor exit relay on VPS from amerinoc and they didn't seems
to have problem with that. I mentioned that when I asked them to change
abuse e-mail for ip-address and they were ok with that.

However I would definitly recommend you to take look at this list:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GoodBadISPs

I also heard that https://hosting.wedos.com/en/ are very tor friendly
and they're really cheap (about 100 bucks/year).
