I run a variety of TOR websites, for multiple customers. We suffered a few denial of service attacks which were quickly fixed, however we're at day 73 of 100% uptime.
TOR Stats of the biggest site (hosts 32.5 GB of data on web server) - BANDWIDTH USAGE (tor): 7.1 GB
TOR Stats of the smallest site (hosts 20mb of visible data on web server) - BANDWIDTH USAGE (tor): 450mb
Pretty small bandwidth usage compared to what you think they'd use.
As for complaint-wise, only three complaints were sent in by North American companies (Canada/US), which they indicated some hidden service sites were hosting illegal content, and action was taken on two out of the three complaints (third complaint was invalid because the content is legal in country of hosting).
We're currently working on rolling out a more-secure version of nginx with less information leakage.
Do you allow customers to host TOR hidden services? Why / why not?
