Any good seedbox/vps providers that allow torrents
Hi, I’m looking for a seedbox or VPS provider that allows torrenting since I’m mostly going to use it on private trackers and public torrents (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Arch Linux ISO, since these are legal). I am going to be using https://swizzin.ltd/ to set up the server with Cockpit. I’m totally not going to use nyaa.si to torrent stuff. (I already pay for Windscribe Pro so I am going to just bind my qBt web client to my Switzerland wireguard config.) Right now I’m just looking for KVM servers in Switzerland or Iceland at the moment; if not, then anywhere is fine. This is also going to be used as an extra storage box for backups (if there is unused space) between my Windows PC and my other servers.
For specs:
VZ: KVM only
CPU: 1-2 vCores is good enough (EPYC/Ryzen CPUs are preferred, Intel Xeon CPUs are fine too)
RAM: 2GB RAM (to run qBt, higher RAM is OK)
Disk space: 1-2TB or higher is OK, ~15-20GB for boot (SSD or NVMe)
Disk type: HDD, NVMe, SSD
Port: 1Gbps preferred
Location: Ideally Switzerland or Iceland; if not, then Luxembourg or just anywhere
Budget: $5-25/mo
Billing period: I’ll start with monthly. Quarterly and yearly works too
If there are higher specs that are better than what I’m asking, then I’m open to other options.

i would try server factory. their ZFS is good
too overkill for what im asking atm. Not currently looking for a beefy dedicated server although i will think about it in the future about buying one. ill take a note about that
they sell storage vps.

oh, i thought you were talking about https://serverfactory.com/ ? ig this is the link to buy it https://my.heartbeat-it.com/cart/nl-storage-vps/ since i was redirected from https://my.server-factory.com/cart/storage-vps/
Lol company names are confusing these day
There's serverfactory.ch for swiss dedicated and there's server-factory.com for nethetlands vps
Private seed boxes, seemingly not managed very strictly
oh yes heartbeat nowadays. i can never remember their new name. they should revert it
If you're going to bind a VPN to it while using public torrents, then maybe below could work?
CPU - 2 vCore - XEON E5-2680v4
RAM - 2GB
Bandwidth - 2.5Gbit - 10TB (after 10TB reached, 100mbit,50up/50down)
Disk Space - 3TB Storage
Port Speed - 2.5Gbit
IPv4 Addresse(s) - 1
Operating System - Linux
Location - Netherlands (EU)
Datacenter - HostSlick, NETHERLANDS
Virtualization - KVM

ill take a look. i see there is a storage VPS that isn't ready yet but ill keep a lookout for that. although, i could buy VPS for different projects but thanks
Limited time only, sold out it seems.
their storage performance is good,but frequently reboot(still not fix)
with this budget, you can also look into some professional seedbox provider, like WhatBox, Bytesized, Ultra.cc, etc...
if you don't need root and want to have the easiness to install apps etc, then get one of the above is much better.
ultra.cc best
I am going to run Ubuntu 22.04 on it, haven't brought it yet since I'm getting my paycheck in a few days (Thursday on the 10th, 3 days from today). I heard there was an outage https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/204292/heartbeat-it-down#latest on a different thread. I will ping @heartbeat_IT and ask is the server frequent reboots necessary or just a bug? Since I want the vps to stay online if I'm buying one since I am going to bind my wireguard profile to my qbtorrent web client. I did check the thread and something about the power or motherboard being a issue? Not sure what's going on
I heard about WhatBox a long time ago, didn't know they are still around. I prefer to have root access imo since I configuring and tinker with servers. But thanks
Yes, Whatbox is still around and have more locations: US and NL, now SG.
Personally, I bought a BF deal from aquatis.host on their 1T storage box, after discount, it's $3/month. I use qB to download from some private tracker. The speed is ok if you are not aiming for racing... Depending on your tracker, freeleech package can be used to build some buffer...
