You can find cheap hoster on LowEndTalk or LowEndBox and suitable ASNs here:
https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/#autonomous-systems-by-cw-fraction
Sort by #Relays.
Over 500 ASN where there are currently only 1-3 Tor relays.

No, that's bullshit. It has been mentioned several times on this list that 
Frantech is one of the avoid providers:
https://community.torproject.org/relay/community-resources/good-bad-isps/

Especially for a bridge. The admins of the oppressive regimes are not stupid. 
Frantech/BuyVM has been known as a Tor provider for many many years. I'm 
pretty sure that Francisco's entire IP space is blacklisted.

Find a provider where there are few Tor nodes. See SirNeo's list on LET:

or

Hi Landon

600 users are still a lot. For comparison from the 50+ bridges I'm 
running only one has 300 users all others are in the range of 5-60. I 
think it's not your provider that's throttling but some ISPs / countries 
that have detected your bridge and are blocking it. That's not uncommon 
and getting a new VPS with a new IP will fix that block but keep in mind 
that your current 600 people may lose their ability to connect to the 
Tor network and it's not guaranteed that you will get that many users 
soon, or ever, again.

Hello,

over 2000 connected clients and now I'm down to less than 600. "iftop"

So, I am trying to find a Tor friendly VPS provider that offers 1 Gbps 
unmetered bandwidth. I found my current provider in an article 
describing Tor friendly providers, but I cannot locate that link.


I am currently paying about 15 Euros a month for a server with 2 
cores, 4 GB RAM and 100 GB SSD. I would like to pay about the same for 
my new service. In my search, I have found some better providers, but 
they don't seem to be Tor friendly.


Do you have a good provider that you really like that offers 
inexpensive VPS? I would prefer one located in the USA if possible, 
but I guess it doesn't matter if the bandwidth is good.

Hi Landon,

I can strongly recommend BuyVM.net as a good alternative. They allow all kinds 
of Tor nodes and have good performance + exceptional support. I've been using 
them for years with no issues.

[Dionysios K. via tor-relays]

1 Gbps advertised is the NIC of the server itself.

The NIC, however, is shared with other VPS accounts on the bare metal.

Shared resources (even on KVM) are the definition of VPS and why they're 
cheaper.


If you want the performance you seek, you're looking for 
dedicated/co-location, not a VPS.
