Are there any seedboxes where you can pay per GB of bandwidth instead of per month? News groups often have a payment plan option like that and it would be nice if seedboxes had that as well. Anyone know of some like that?

The problem with that is seedboxes aren't setup to control total bandwidth, i.e. you don't have fine control over total traffic. Therefore, it's easy to let the cost get away from you. Actually, it would sound like a brilliantly shady way to make money off of retards, but what are the chances that they'd have the money to cover the expenses.

Seedbox involves huge amount of data transfer so hence generally traffic is charged according to TB's. Kimsufi offers server which come with 3/5TB per month and you can additionally buy 1TB for around 1Euro. If you are looking for shared and managed boxes than whatbox offer slots with 1.5TB of traffic with 2$ addition for each extra TB. Offcoure you have to pay first to buy those TB and then spend it rather than use it and then pay for how much you used. If you are seriously looking for later you can try Amazon E-cloud service but it would cost you bomb if you do huge data transfers.
