Hi,

i'm thinking about renting Express Server 9 on leaseweb (59 euro a month)

i wanted to have your opinions on it

it says it comes with linux (centOS distro), it seems good to me, i actually use fedora but i guess there ain't nothing much different.

it has a 2 tera bandwith, which i think is enough for me

1 - can i expect good speed on tracker like sct?
2 - am i really engaged 1 month at a time?
3 - are there any hidden fees?
4 - i guess NL is a safe place to have a seedbox, right?
5 - does it come with a tools that i can help to see how much bandwith i took during the month, to be sure i don't go over the limit
6- is it reliable enough to host some websites on it?

thx :)

1 Wonderful speeds some places i get 8mbs down and as high as 6mb up ive seen
2 there plans usually are paid every month, but contracts are in 3 month increments
3 not that i can think of (setup fee, and extra bandwidth are fess but are clearly noted)
4 NL is where many torrent sites are hosted
5 yes via there control panel
6 as earlier stated many torrents sites are are hosted there :)

1. yes
2. pay per month in advance on a 3 monthly contract. billing is from 1st of every month so if you sign up midway through you have a little extra to pay.
3. only hidden costs are if you go over your bandwidth 1GB/€0.10 and if you live in Europe you have to add 19% tax.
4. yes
5. you get acces to the Self Service Center.
6. yes
