      Ionos, but I have been grandfathered in with price so you won’t be able to get my deal

      AWS/GCP is an order of magnitude more expensive for those specs. And they would ban you for downloading copyrighted material without a VPN. So I wouldn’t recommend that. I was able to get a similar set up using Linode but the specs were way worse and I couldn’t do transcoding, and I didn’t torrent using the $5 a month VPS.

        It depends on what hardware the host is using, my VPS is capable of transcoding around 4 streams simultaneously.
