   Unfortunately, this is an area that is ripe for exploitation.  There 
have been a few that have cropped up over the years and most are 
defunct.  Sir Valiance used to run a .onion hosting service (paid) that 
had a decent reputation, but this was a couple of years ago and AFAIK 
he's since stopped.

   You're much better off learning how to operate a hidden service on 
your own.
