Why a Seedbox?

Last Updated: Jul 08, 2011 01:03PM CDT

A seedbox is the single best way to drastically boost your ratio in any private tracker community.

Most people using Bittorrent have a hard time uploading (seeding) from home because their upload speeds are severely crippled.

This causes torrents to upload slowly and gives bad ratios at private tracker sites.

You can quickly fix this with a good seedbox

A good seedbox holds all your files up on the internet where they belong.  Always on, seeding, day and night.  A dedicated high speed Internet connection and dedicated IP address makes sure you are always connectible and always seeding.

A bit of history

In the beginning, the term "seedbox" meant a fully dedicated server with one purpose - to upload bittorrent files at extremely high speeds.  Tech savvy individuals got their own server, installed their own software remotely, and their ratio quickly surpassed everyone else on the private tracker.  But only those with technical server administration skills were able to have a seedbox.  We wanted to change that.

Many moons ago, we started setting up seedboxes for friends and eventually began selling them. We registered SeedboxHosting.com and the very first seedbox hosting company was born.  Our service quickly became very popular and we struggled with growing pains. 

Over time we got better and better at managing countless servers all over the world.  Our service continues to improve and today we have one of the most technologically advanced and yet easy to use seedbox services available.

We believe in freedom

Today there are hundreds of seedbox hosting companies and the term "seedbox" has often come to mean a small account on a shared, oversold, server.  We don't do that.

With SeedboxHosting.com you always get the whole enchilada. Dedicated resources.  Never oversold. Full ROOT access on an Ubuntu Linux server.  We have many options for software, ready-to-go or build-your-own.  You always get ROOT access so you can install whatever you like.

Powered by Linux, as easy as the web

Our seedboxes run on the Linux operating system which helps to make them fast, inexpensive and secure. However, you do not need to know anything about Linux to use them.  All our seedboxes work over the web, giving you full control of the power of a seedbox from your web browser.
