[tor-talk] Server/host for Tor forum in Iceland or Norway?

[Jef Heri]

Hello Tim and Simon,

Thank you both for your input. I have made a small list (see below) of the three Icelandic VPS hosts I will consider: eEnvo, 1984, and OrangeWeb. My first inclination is to use 1984, mostly because they're Tor friendly, but they don't' seem to offer the best service for the price...


[I'm pretty positive all three accept anonymous payment]

A friend of the Tor Project and supporter of Internet anonymity,
privacy, and security. This company has been in business for ~6 years

(C.) eEnvo ( http://www.eenvo.com/virtual-hosting ) -- They are very
new, but come with a strong recommendation from security expert, albeit
the recommendation is limited. I'm not sure if they will allow Tor exit
enclave...
