A VPS provider would be very unlikely to sell that sort of information. If they were caught capturing traffic, I doubt many businesses would want to use their services.
- rz2k 10y agoSome of the tiny VPS providers accept $12-20 up front for a year of service and might disappear before the year is out, but it isn't a big deal because they are so cheap. I imagine they wouldn't know how to monetize the data, but if the market matures, there could easily be the same people behind buying data from Comcast-sized ISPs, creating tiny VPS and VPN providers that don't get any meaningful scrutiny in practice.
