Looking for a VPS with a provider with disregard to one or two rare DMCAs
Hi! I am looking for a KVM server where I intend to run torrents very specifically for my PERSONAL use. Also I don't intend to keep seeding running.
I don't intend to attract DMCAs on a daily basis, but for those one or two rare case scenarios which might happen due to insufficient blocklist blocking and you (provider) not suspending my services immediately.
Also, I intend to run my git server, hence the dedicated cores or prolonged high usage cores
Here are my specs requirements:
CPU: 2 high usage cores or cores that I can hit 100% for 48-72 hours (in case need arises)
RAM: 2 GB RAM
Storage: 1024 GB or Higher
Bandwidth: anything above 5TB monthly should be fine
IP: at least one IPv4 static IP and preferably a /64 IPv6 Block
Need full rDNS support for both IPv4 and IPv6.
My budget is between 50-75 Euros annually.
I would prefer it to be hosted in Netherlands if possible, but anywhere else is also fine
Providers feel free to reach me via DM as well if you wish that

Why just not a seedbox?

BuyVM kinda ignore DMCA (but respects Luxemburg law...), but with dedicated core it's totally outside budget. I don't think you will find anything with dedicated core for that kind of price, especially with IPv6
Because I need full SSH access and kernel access. Torrenting is just a small portion of it.
That combination plus DMCA will be a tough ask. You will probably need to bend on something (or get two separate VMs for the distinct tasks you have in mind).
its fine if its not dedicated but its for those occasional loads which I might hit hard on for 2-3 days
I can't think of anyone with a FUP that lets you hit 2 cores 100% for 3 days straight, so basically you are asking for dedicated cores.
ETA: Actually it is more nuanced than I said. There are several who will let you hammer the CPU without calling it abuse, but you'll be capped at whatever your fair share share of the core is. In other words, you might get 2 cores burst, but if you hammer them you'll get capped at something like 1/8 of a core.
Servarica Polar Bear Storage plan might suit your requirements. You can opt to have the server placed in legal torrent node while ordering. Not sure of the dedicated cores part. Maybe check with @servarica_hani

Very very interesting
@cociu
Here are many
https://alexhost.com/vps/ (with that budget you can reach dedicated servers Intel Xeon)
https://incognet.io
https://buyvm.net (LUX)
https://hostslick.com (Netherlands Location) (you can also reach their dedicated server if they have any promo)
Most of those ignore DMCA, but better asking before order.
Andy10gbit should be able to help you out. He resells servers from multiple providers in Netherlands and none of them are super strict about DMCA from what I've read online.
You can reach him on his discord: https://discord.gg/mmGwHdg
He also has a really good deal available on his discord right now with 64TB diskspace available for €55/month but I think it is from Hetzner. https://i.imgur.com/FjLV4c8.png
You read OP's budget before making this suggestion?
Yea OP wants too much for too less
Never been a good reader tbh, but I have two dedicated servers from him, which I think may work out for the OP.
E-2274G 16GB RAM 4x8TB HDD 1Gbit 100TB Traffic for €45/month (Got this on a clearance sale 1.5y ago)
E3-1270v5 16GB RAM 2x2TB HDD 1Gbit 100TB Traffic for €35/month (Got this last month, custom request)
Both have an IPv4 with the option to buy more and a /64 IPv6 block. Both are hosted at Leaseweb AMS1 which I've read are relaxed with DMCA complaints. I've edited the IPv4 RDNS on both servers however I've never attempted to get the IPv6 RDNS modified.
You guys ...
His budget is between 50-75 Euros annually.
See I never said I was a good reader. I'm going to go back to drinking my moonshine.
A tip for the future, if you see a number higher than 7 in the OP, it will most definitely be followed by the word "annual".
How does this work anyway? I am assuming he makes use of affiliate discounts, 0% tax and buys up the servers he knows are good deals. But do you get access to the panel? Do you have to do everything through him as a proxy?
Those are great deals, but when you reach the point when dedicated servers are a necessity, does this 20-30% cost saving matter? (And it's probably really more targeted at people not wanting to pay VAT)
You can ask him all those questions directly. Just send him a DM on his discord server.
Overall he is a pretty nice guy, very helpful and if he's that way with his clients he must be the same with his suppliers too. Bulk orders, long contracts and not shitting on the host's support are probably what help him. I've had a lot of issues with OVH and have gone on multiple Karen level rants, I doubt he does all that. I've had technical contact from him at OVH, admin panel at Hetzner, so the servers show up in my own account. At other hosts, I've had KVM/IPMI from him. You got people here who cancel and re-purchase over saving a dime, saving 20-30% over the host's list price is a dream, and you can kind of do that buying from Andy10gbit. I used to have close to a 100 servers between OVH and Hetzner, now I barely have 20 directly because I can get them from a reseller without having to sign any annoying commitments or paying setup fee, providing ID/proof of address and also pay in Crypto when I want.
Yes, my bad... It was been usual to see users asking for low prices anually, for this particulary reason I didn't see right.
I could still extend the budget to 90 Euros though, still didn't mention that I am inflexible.
Providers be sure you can still hit me with a offer that still doable and I am open to negotiate and regarding CPU cores even fair share CPUs is fine
I think the torrent nodes were about performance and noise, I'm not sure that they actually affect dmcas.
That being said, Polar Bear is sufficiently under budget that if the specs are otherwise satisfactory, there's still some leeway left to look for separate torrent-friendly VPN to deal with the DMCA part.
i also missed the word "annual" - good luck to OP with that budget.
I tried Polar Bear last night no doubt their offering is quite good but the problem was that their network peering with europe lacks quite a bit, i was not able to hit more than 30-40 Mbit/s even on my 100Mbit line, but from asia it was easily hitting 200 Mbit/s on their 1 gbps port
