Any admin can make a full backup of a 24/7/365 running KVM or cloud machine.
Regardless of whether it is encrypted or not. ;-)

Also with dedicated servers or in colocation:
Encrypting a Tor relay hd, especially exits, is NOT recommended!
In the event of a seizure, it could take months or years to get your server 
back.

We don't host files, we don't have logs. A Tor relay is a dumb router that 
forwards
encrypted traffic. Other than the master identity key's, there is nothing
interesting on a Tor relay. Therefore, use offline relay identity keys:

Don't know what FDE is, but at Frantech/BuyVM you can install everything
because you can upload your own ISO.


FDE means Full Disk Encryption.

Remember, running FDE in virtual environment we give access to 
encryption keys to admin of the host machine :)


Best,
Bart

SirNeo made a good list:

Read first:

Try to avoid the following hosters:
OVH SAS (AS16276)
Online S.a.s. (AS12876)
Hetzner Online GmbH (AS24940)
DigitalOcean, LLC (AS14061)

IONOS is good - just keep the data throughput around 25%, and they should leave 
you alone.

Subject: [tor-relays] VPS w/FDE suggestions?

Hello- Im looking for <= $6/mo VPS suggestions for general non-tor 
server and also for tor. Some super-cheap hosts pre-install O/S and give 
root but I want to install O/S myself so can put in FDE. Hard to see 
which hosts can do this.

I tried Linode before and yes, could get FDE
($5 1GB, 1CPU, 25GB, 1TB)

Is IONOS any good? Can I get FDE there??
($2 1GB, 1CPU, 10GB, ?TB)
($3 2GB, 2CPU, 80GB, ?TB)
($6 4GB, 2CPU, 160GB, ?TB)

Others caught my eye:

hudsonvalleyhost
($3.95 1GB, 1CPU, 25GB, 20TB)
($6.95 2GB, 2CPU, 50GB, 20TB)

liquidweb
($5 1GB, 1CPU, 30GB, 1TB)

digitalocean
($6 1GB, 1CPU, 25GB, 20TB)

ovhcloud
($4.20 2GB, 1CPU, 20GB, 100Mbps unmetered)
($5.50 2GB, 2CPU, 40GB, 500Mbps unmetered)
