Hello I'm running a tor node and I paid for a VPS for the express purposes of running that node. I have configured it to use almost all of the bandwidth of the VPS and then to allow bursts to use all of the bandwidth I have also set it to serve directory requests. The server also has 1GB of ram and 1 CPU core. Is this good enough to be helpful in the tor network?
Bobby, I run a Tor relay on dual core 256MB devices with a 250Gb fiber connection and they are adequate to operate as a fast middle relay. Monitor your relay on https://metrics.torproject.org/%C2%A0 to verify. Respectfully,

Okay thanks for the response. I see that I have the not recommended flag. I try to update my node but it says that it's up to date I don't understand what else I can do

Ubuntu ships an outdated Tor version but you can use our own package repository to avoid that. See:
https://support.torproject.org/apt/tor-deb-repo/
for how to do so.
