Well, I'm still sticking with CoolHousing/Virtual Server Lite because I hardly ever get abuse complaints. For ITL, I may leave after my term expires.
But a few other companies I found were:
tested it, made really bad experience with them, network performance was almost unusable <10MBit/s lately, they had an outage of 2 days ("because voxility upstream added two new uplinks", than I canceled)
made also bad experience with them, like "fatal" said, their network performance isn't the best <20MBit/s (per direction) weekly average
If anyone can recommend any other hosters, please come forward.
I am testing www.hostwinds.com and www.digitalocean.com right now, both work fine atm.

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!
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).

I find https://compasss.torproject.org more convenient for that task.

+1 The bubbles aren't useful IMO.
