[tor-talk] virtual private servers for Tor?

[Aaron]

I run a (non-exit) relay on a 512MB linode instance
(http://www.linode.com). That costs $20/m with 200GB/m and uses Xen.

Performance has been fine, but you can burn through 200GB pretty
quickly (incoming and outgoing traffic both count).

I am planning on shutting down this relay and donating the money to
noisebridge (http://tor.noisebridge.net/) because pooling resources
will get a much better deal on bandwidth. Another similar project is
Torservers.net
