Lot of sales for 4th of july (and ongoing ones) where you can pay $10-$14 for a YEAR of a small cheap VPS. Usually only has 1GB of memory, but that’s plenty to play around with and learn. If nothing else, a good cheap ipv4 you can use for some port forwarding. There are lots of options, but I’ve used racknerd and ethernetservers which have been fine.
I have my own server at home, but I bought two small ones to start learning Ansible with in a risk free way. Eventually plan to redo my main server with a complete Ansible setup, really want to hop on that “infrastructure as code” train.
The storage is mostly irrelevant. I just pull everything down immediately and use them as a bt proxy. Their network effect allows you to get any popular torrents immediately.
I just mean because if it’s mostly public torrents then something like real debrid is way cheaper and almost all magnet links I try are already cached so I just download it straight from them. And for movies and stuff you can just stream without needing to download anything.

I just looked, $10 a month for 100gb? That’s ridiculous.

Public or private torrents though?
Doesn’t matter
