Seedbox Vendor List
Visit the seedbox-recommendation channel on our discord. It is a much better format for provider recommendations.

Please limit seedbox recommendation requests to top level comments in this megathread, unless you meet one of the exceptions, which are defined here.
Please use the recommendation form for your request:

NO (the default status is OPT OUT. Unless the user changes this to YES assume NO)
2) What are your main reasons for wanting a seedbox?
Answer here…
3) Are you okay with sharing hardware resources with other users [shared] or do you need the seedbox hardware dedicated to just you [dedicated]?

…
5) Please describe your seedbox experience. (You may wish to list any seedbox providers you’ve been with before.)
…
6) Please describe your experience with Linux. (Most seedboxes run Linux and some knowledge of it may be helpful.)

Note: You may make a standalone request post if you don’t get a response 48 hours after commenting in this thread, but we request that you notify the mods first so it isn’t removed by mistake.
Going forward, I’ve set up recurring posts so the megathread will be automatically unstickied and replaced by a new thread Thursday Night/Friday morning every week. Hopefully the added visibility will allow for more responses to comments.
