Sometimes you can get away with running one on them for a few months, but they usually shut you down from the abuse emails. I got shut down after 10 months on a VPS that explicitly did allow exit nodes when I asked them about it before I purchased. Generally speaking, the more Tor nodes are in a single location (single VPS provider or single datacenter), the worse it is for the network, as it decreases diversity and increases single points of failure. If you cannot find a VPS you can afford to run an exit node on, consider running a bridge or a relay node on a VPS that (you think) other people aren't also using.
