Hi Guys, I would second the cheap VPS option.
In the past I have run a relay at home and on a number of cheap VPS providers with only one having an issue with my request to run a relay. Living in the UK I found the low upload speed and dynamic IP made the home relay perform rather poorly while having a notable affect on my home web browsing. Having a cheap VPS also offers the advantage of a remote development platform, the possibility of hosting your own website (a socks proxy has been pretty handy at bypassing my works web proxy). As previously stated, lowendbox is a great place to start looking for one I would suggest going dutch as they offer great performance/bandwidth for your £. BR, Alistair.
