thanks for the replies, that's totally true it's certain that they will give me that "bait and switch" treatment. the reason im getting that cheap vps is some sort of a learning environment. im totally starting from scratch here, knowing nothing from vps to unix. so im not losing that much with a cheap vps if every thing goes down every now and then. but as soon as i successfully install and run exit node and specially how to secure those datas/logs out from the reach of everyone then i will move immediately to a more expensive vps. hoping while im still learning somehow someone have the patience to guide me.
