[tor-relays] Advice for new exit relay

[Nathaniel Suchy]

I'll add most providers willing to do custom WHOIS records are generally much more expensive. Is custom WHOIS an absolute requirement? Many providers are willing to work with you.

Cordially,
Nathaniel Suchy

>> Your ISP will need to update WHOIS Records for you as they own the IP Addresses. They, and only they, have that power. Get in touch with them and discuss your use case (in this case a Tor exit). Many providers are willing to work with you.

>> As for recommendations, Scaleway, while not letting you have custom WHOIS, provides unlimited bandwidth, is cheap, and has okay abuse report handling (use the reduced exit policy, or the paranoid only allow ports TCP 53, 80, and 443 Policy and as long as you respond within 48 hours they generally leave you alone). I've had good experiences with them in the past :)
