I have a Contabo VPS that costs less than $5 a month and allows for 30TB of bandwidth. The only love letters I received for seeding were basically emails telling me for informational purposes and no further action will be taken (they don't give a shit basically). Way more functional and cheaper than a vanilla seedbox but obviously requires more work on your part to set up.

It's called a seedbox. Most of the ones I've seen support wireguard in some way, but sometimes it's not part of the basic package.
There are multiple VPS providers that allow seeding, for example, ihostart.com.
A lot of VPS' won't allow torrent traffic. Why not get a seedbox?
I don't mind if it's called a different thing I just don't know what a good place to rent one is.
They are slightly different, I think people are kind of asking if you are specifically looking for a VPS vs a seedbox. Some people do want a VPS so it's a fair question.
A VPS implies that you'll be renting a server and installing/setting up all the software on your own. You'll probably have some sort of SSH + root access to install things there since you're doing all that on your own.
A seedbox is more like a pre-configured shared VPS so it'll already have torrent clients pre-installed along with other software commonly used with torrent clients. Depending on the vendor and type of seedbox you often won't have root access and/or SSH access, usually the vendor won't want you to randomly install software system-wide that might disrupt other users on that seedbox server.
PS - !seedboxes@lemmy.dbzer0.com also exists, a bit quieter there but it's specific to the topic.
How os a seedbox not a VPS?
OVH
Really?? That's surprising.
can recommend ultracc, affordable and reliable
Yes, I saw a recommendation for them earlier, but their plans are very high-storage, which I don't need.
I guess, but for $7 a month, it's a steal especially if you ever join any private trackers in the future
you want a seed box? search for that term.
