Kimsufi (which is a "budget" dedicated server brand from OVH) is great, just don't download movies/music from public trackers like thepiratebay. A few DMCAs and they'll shut you down. Private trackers are fine (not Demonoid tho, if that's still even a thing). Foreign movies/music/anime from public(-ish) trackers should be fine. I used to host a huge FTP repository that was only accessible from my university's campus network there and never had any problems. Please be aware though that Kimsufi uses really cheap hard drives (Maxtor) that have a tendency to fail under high load (torrents). I ran a ZFS mirror across multiple drives, so wasn't much of an issue for me. Just don't get a server with only one drive and no backups.
- vomitcuddle 12y agoI should add that ZFS has some sort of weird IO overhead that has a tendency to quickly chew through most very cheap hard drives. If you use a different filesystem (I wouldn't), ymmv. Typical support turnaround for a failed drive at Kimsufi is around 2 hours.
