Patrick, Do you mind adding this info to the "good/bad isps" wiki? I'm looking around for hosting as well and thought we could improve that page a little. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GoodBadISPs
Thanks, Greg

I received the following response from them:
We do not discriminate on the use of any protocol among our customers. Nevertheless, if we get complains or any type of pressure from public or private entities for illegal activity occurring in your server, we will have to suspend service. You will be immediately contacted about any issue that arises.
This explanation is marvelously vague.
so it would appear that they're not too friendly about hosting exit relays. I've asked if they can forward all abuse complains to be instead of immediately terminating service, but I'm not too hopeful.
My hunch is that they just don't want to deal with the complaints and legal & administrative overhead -it's more cost-effective just to cut you off. When I first set up Tor some years ago I briefly ran it as an exit node, having sent an explanatory e-mail to my ISP, but I very quickly learned that once they receive a DMCA notice they cut you off at the knees, whereupon you're dealing with "help" desk morons working from a very strict script. Best to run an exit node from a corporate set-up with the legal boilerplate already in place.
