Slightly OT...

Assuming I'd like to 'donate' to TOR by just running a node myself, what would be a cost-effective hosting provider to use for this?

This would be a relay node, not an exit node (I can imagine that hosting providers wouldn't be so happy about exit nodes).

I've been running a small exit node for over 5 years, with three providers, none of which have complained (I'm in the netherlands, that might matter).

there's one disadvantage though : a lot of sites refuse my ip because it's an exit node. which is no problem because all my own traffic runs through a vpn anyway...
