Which providers allow mining?

The question isn't for me, but a close friend of mine asked, and I don't know the answer.
He means GPU mining.
Thanks!

    I would not have any issue to ask the question for myself, I don't consider the topic a taboo. I just personally think with energy costs, it really just isn't worth it. I have no qualms with miners.

    putting a GPU miner into commercial datacenter seldom makes sense. at least in Europe...

    In Bulgaria you have a public energy price of ~0,10€, which seems to be the cheapest in EU. Switzerland is a bit more expensive with approx. 0,15€.

    If you know what and how to do, it´s cheaper to build and maintain it yourself, because any service provider need to earn something with you, which means it will lower your profit.

    Hint: If you have money to buy GPU-miners, you should take into consideration to also buy some photovoltaic. Consuming only sunpower is at ~0,02€ per kWh incl. LiFePo4 battery.

    There are few solutions with servers offering GPU for other things than gaming and those are very expensive.
    There are compute offers using GPU specials, but, again, that is expensive AF.
    You wont make profit with that, not even coming close to breaking even unless you mine now and sell at a later date 10x.

    Mining is hard but you can find some providers who allow mining however you can hardly find them on forums. You can find such providers using google.
