Well? I want to setup a private TOR server for learning that only I will use but am finding that vps companies do not allow this. Does anyone know of a company that does allow this?
Why do vps providers not allow TOR?

Pretty much this.
I'd also imagine that for every legal, legitimate, non-sketchy use of TOR that there is more than two people using it for less than ideal reasons... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We allow it on our dedicated servers but with deposit

If you just want to learn you could try creating a VM on your computer using something like Virtual box or VMWare Player, if you have the resources.
Too much abuse with TOR.
I have no problem with TOR nodes as long as you agree to have SWIP'd WHOIS-ip information, and deal with complaints.

I didn't realize it was so bad.
Maybe just use a regular vpn then?

Middle and entry does not generate any abuse.

I've never looked at companies that specifically allow Tor.
There is a prior created list for this, but it probably isn't 100% current or correct, as sentiments about Tor change about the time abuse hits and feds show up looking for information or to seize things.

(I am a fan of Tor and find it sad that mass collection of aholes use it to mask their actual criminal doings. I support Tor from freedom of speech side and right to not be tracked.)

Your definition of 'shady' being what?
Such as?Or...
C. None of the above.
There are other reasons why providers don't allow non-exit node besides the two you listed.
Lack of man power to ensure clients are not running exit nodes. I don't feel like digging through every client's TOR config file and see whether it's configured properly and then having to check it every day to make sure they didn't change it. Just not enough hours in the day. I did find a nice script that checks for exit nodes, but it didn't work one time so I'm not going to trust my whole company to an automated script that's already failed once.

The biggest loudmouthes positing the usage of TOR are the same idiots we constantly see mixed up with very illegal activities. Maybe I'd be willing to see TOR as something more than just a paedophile kiddy porn ring if it had better representation.
Did some googling, it appears coinshost.com allows TOR Exit/Relay, and are located in Switzerland.
