Looking for a dedicated seedbox
Currently shopping around for a dedicated seedbox and trying to figure out if I'm getting the best bang for my buck. I'm currently with seedhost.eu and have been since 2016.
For $30 a month I get 8TB of storage, 100TB of bandwidth, dedicated 1Gbps line. I was looking at hostingby.design and they for $33.50 a month I can get 4TB of storage, unmetered bandwidth, and dedicated 1Gbps line. For comparison, the cheapest box I can get through Andy10gbit is $41 a month for 8TB hard drive, unmetered bandwidth, and 1Gbps line.
So... Should I just stick with seedhost? They've been good to me and don't care if I seed to public trackers lol.

For comparison in case you didn't know:
Layer7 — €21.72 / month (or €17.38 / month yearly)
4 Intel Cores (shared)
16384 MB RAM
5120 GB HDD
100 TB/month bandwidth
5.0 Gbps port speed shared
IPv4 + IPv6
France
This is a VPS that allows torrenting
Keep an eye on hostingby.design's discord. They post some promotion servers with better spec and pricing.

Do you have a link? The one I found was expired.
There is a dedicated host for seedboxes around here. Maybe @PulsedMedia could make a custom or special offer.
Meanwhile you may have a look at their seedbox plans.
@PulsedMedia
F21-MDS-20TB
39.99€ / month
monthly billing
AMD Opteron 6 core 1.8Ghz
24GB ECC Ram
20TB: 4x5TB RAID0 HDD
1Gbps Network
100TB Traffic
Dedicated hardware
Dedicated IP Address
SUDO/ROOT access with Power service
Location: Helsinki, Finland
Only seedbox provider I have ever used tho tbf but this is what they offer.
Also I think @PulsedMedia only counts outbound traffic not inbound.
Any reviews of hostingby.design?
@plumberg @deadorbit If you are going to for a bottom tier Leaseweb reseller with low-end volume network bandwidth, seedhost is the better option. They are also cheaper and much older in age than hostbydesign. So I'd say seedhost overall is a better and more reliable option.
HBD's discord doesn't have any better deals than seedhost either on the low end 1Gbit side.
Can you share hbd discord/ seedhost? Thnx @Smith42
+1 for @PulsedMedia
This one is good hard to beat
Seedhost does not have a Discord. All of their best deals are directly on their site.
I think the question is about HBD discord, not Seedhost.
@khnielsen ?
@plumberg - Invite link for discord: https://discord.gg/StaAybe3rm
Seedhost might be cheaper on some of the smaller tiers but they don't offer unmetered bandwidth - Their 100TB packages count incoming and outgoing with no options for adding more bandwidth. Also note that all seedhost packages are + vat if you are in the EU.
As far as age goes - We've recently celebrated our 11th birthday, that isn't quite as old as seedhost as far as I know but I wouldn't say we are "new" in any way.
As far as promotions go - No, we tend to post the majority of our promotions on higher tier 10Gbit machines, but we have run multiple promotions with unmetered 1G machines at sub €20 p/m - We even run products specifically for our discord community that are not advertised on the website.
Thanks for the ping @maverick
What is their policy on torrents and DMCA?
From my experience, they don’t care about torrenting. Even public torrents.
According to OneProvider's terms copyright content is not allowed. In the same terms is specified how distribution of adult content is also not allowed (unless given consent by them).
Maybe you should have a look at specialized providers for torrents. This is why I recommended @PulsedMedia and their seedbox offers. Everything comes already installed, saving you time and effort, so you can start torrenting immediately after ordering.
Can you link to this? That's not the pricing I see on their website
https://login.layer7.net/index.php?rp=/store/storage-server-par1/storage-server-high-par1 and select "Disksize 2nd disk in TB": 5 TB
It seems prices have increased by a few euros a month, but that's expected with the energy crisis I guess
No? Price is still 21.72 € (without VAT).
Sorry, didn't see VAT being charged. Yeah, decent price TBH. Does it allow TOR and adult content?
They don't care, you can do whatever you want it's online.net server
IIRC they allow everything German (and as this server is in France, likely French as well) law allows. They definitely allow adult content and torrents as long as it's legal and you have the rights to distribute it. I think they allow Tor relays.
And I can absolutely recommend them, I have a Ryzen VPS in France from them with 99.9886% uptime.
If you have more questions you can simply ask @layer7 directly.
Beter go for oneprovider it's dedicated
It's here, you have to pick the disk size from the drop-down menu, then the price will match. Here is also a broader set of affiliated results from my LET aggregator page, where I took that offer from.
@plumberg @deadorbit Regarding hostingbydesign, I would suggest reading the two articles below. Seedbox.io was owned by the owner of HBD, and it seems like Seedbox.io and walkerservers were merged to form HBD.

Also oneprovider is a Canadian company. IF an abuse complaint is forwarded from Scaleway (Online.net) to oneprovider, they will most likely terminate your account on the second if not the first complaint.
