In my case, the decision to host my Tor VPS on OVH's infrastructure is to support a business that is based in Québec. Ideology aside, I agree that network diversity is key (along with the multiplication of exit nodes).

Hi,

I've been running an exit node for over a year on OVH now, no problems
so far. Highly recommended (especially since they give me 10TB of
traffic for about 10$USD/month; considering I use about 7-8TB of that
per month, it's well worth it).

OVH is used to much by tor operators already (>12% of the tor network
capacity is there).

Not the most performance enhanced page on the web but:

https://metrics.torproject.org/bubbles.html

This bubble graph shows where relays are located by autonomous system.
If you're looking to set up new relays, attempting to grow smaller
bubbles here (the names should be googleable enough) or trying to add
new ones would definitely be preferred over adding more to OVH.

It's great that OVH are Tor-friendly, but diversity of the network is
important.

Thanks,
Iain.

"..diversity of the network is important." -very important - what if a
far Western European government decides on the next "state of emergency"
to ban Tor and "asks" their domestic ISPs for support?

There are other Providers who give you 15-50 TB/month for less than 10 Euro.

Dig for them - don’t follow the pack!
