Seedbox Review: EscapeHosting.com

[haydeno]

They have the following packages
$2 month - 1gb space 15gb transfer
$3 month - 1gb space 30gb transfer
$11 month- 5gb space 100gb transfer

Pro's
Takes Paypal
CHEAP
Unlimited Active Torrents
For the $ Speeds are OK(Expect around 500 down and 400 up but peaked at about 1MB Up and Down)
TF B4RT
FTP
NL based Server
Con's
UI bit laggy sometimes
possibly overloaded (there are about 30 users on the server but i have never seen more than 4 loged in)
Low Disk Space
Low Transfer

Overall i would give this a 5\10 simply because its soo cheap. This could possibly used to seed music torrents that doesn't use too many space or speed.

This is from server stats
Connections: 126
Server Load 3.96
Transfers: 33

seems slow, 1 MB/s up is nothing

its NOT fast but for $3 its not bad

[haydeno]

I have been seeding on a well leeched torrent over night and uploaded about 55gb. Still slow but not as bad as i thought. runs at 1MB steady on well leeched(200 downloaders 20 seeds)

What forms of payment do they accept?

Speed isn't the be all and end all of everything seedbox wise, sometimes just having 1MB/s up 24/7 can be more than enough for those with slow connections who turn their PCs off overnight, they would benefit the most from this type of cheap service, providing that service is a good service in the end.

Thanks for the review, appreciated.

You should include that in the review (ie - edit it in so people know they take paypal and any other forms of payment).

Thanks.

For $11 a month, the deal seems good, but I wouldn't get it if you're one of those people obsessed with creating huge, monstrous buffers

I've seen TorrentFlux hosts that don't count upload/download via FTP, so it's good to keep a lookout for those as well.

However, before purchasing any seedbox service, I always research the site (look for user reviews, downtime frequency etc), especially with TorrentFlux, which I no longer use. Sometimes TorrentFlux sites may be corrupt; I've seen and witnessed firsthand some admins of TorrentFlux accounts take cookies/passkeys and use them to snatch torrents. So always be careful and cautious.

this isnt a seedbox its just webhosting a seedbox is a server
