Wich datacenter should I pick? Wich datacenter is more secured for trackers? Wich datacenters offers the best SEEDING boxes for the price? These questions comes often for new starters in this jungle. The list below is datacenters that I have personally tested. I will put the PRO's and CON's with comments.
iWeb:
Main datacenter located in Montreal, Canada
Pro's:
Location friendly enough for Trackers;
Chat directly with technicians instead of opening a ticket and to wait;
Excellent service.
Con's:
Unfortunately, there is no way to format your server from a web page and or taking possession of it;
No seedbox offered;
High prices.
Comments: Nothing.
Leaseweb
Datacenter located in the Netherlands and others
Pro's:
Friendly enough for Trackers; ( Take a look at comment )
Excellent service;
Prices for the servers.
Con's:
Unfortunately, there is no way to format your server from a web page and or taking possession of it;
Unable to chat directly. Always have to open a ticket and too wait. Hopefully, never fast enough.
No seedbox offered.
Comments: Since the last past years, LEASEWEB was forced to shut down trackers by law's. Be shure to choose the NETHERLAND one. Since then, I already asked their customer supports but it's not really clear if they do accept trackers.
OVH:
One of the largest datacenter located in the France and other countries.
Pro's:
Not to friendly enough for Trackers; ( Take a look at comment )
Good service;
Offer competitive prices for seedbox;
Locatin in Canada available;
Easy access to format your server remotely via portal;
Constant speed.
Con's:
Unable to chat directly. Always have to open a ticket and too wait. Hopefully, never fast enough.
Comments: Do not host a tracker in FRANCE since their laws are enforced. Another problem is the fact that if you are from NORTH AMERICA, you CAN'T rent any dedicated server besides FRANCE.
Hetzner:
One of the largest datacenter located in Germany and other countries.
Pro's:
Friendly enough for Trackers;
Good service;
Offer competitive prices for seedbox; ( see comments )
Constant speed.
Con's:
Unable to chat directly. Always have to open a ticket and too wait. Hopefully, never fast enough;
Access remotely to format your server for 25 euros with a tool called CLARA.
Comments: Unfortunately, Hetzner do charges lots of fees such as deploying a new servers, reformatting a server... but it worth it.
Conclusion:
TAKE NOTE that all these DATACENTERS can SHUTDOWN your server without any NOTICE and at ANY TIME, so the key word is to have an excellent backup plan!. I know this because it already happened too me.
More likely, no datacenters will ever tell you if they do or not to accept trackers and or seedboxes. So don't loose your time to ask.
Good luck!
