If you get one that's too cheap, it might be so cheap because they're
lying to you about actually providing a server environment big enough
to run programs like Tor. Many VPS providers get away with this "bait
and switch" approach because most of their customers don't actually use
the VPS for much, so they never notice that it's artificially crippled.
