I'm looking for the cheapest dedicated server provider. Although I don't mind VPN's, but they must have good harddisk space (+100gb)

I'we heard about OVH.co.uk and kimsufi.co.uk, but I read on their forum that they will check for illegal torrent activity and cancel the subscription without a warning. Anybody have any experience with this?

I'we also heard about server.lu. They are not as cheap as OVH/Kimsufi, but are they any good?

Any other server providers that you might recommend?

Btw I'm posting this here, because I don't yet have priviliges to send in the SEEDBOX forum.

regards
Frímann

OVH must be lying because they rarely (if ever) cancel subscriptions for traffic activity on private trackers. They probably mean Mininova, Demonoid...those kind of trackers. You cannot use them with a seedbox.

Well these were some bold claims they said in their forum, regarding that they were kicking out all torrent activity, period. But I guess they changed their mind since so many people are using them.

But you say you cant use demonoid, mininova etc. You mean that these sites are totaly blocked?

Also I just found http://fastsh.it and they look promising. Anyone have any experience with them?

Its probably just for show. IE they say they wont allow it but wont actually do anything it about it, just to have a good image for the feds or whatever.

Yeah your probably right about that.

After all, they must be getting a large sum of their income from torrent people like us :)

AFAIK public trackers are not allowed on any seedboxes anywhere, period.
