What is a seedbox?

A seedbox is a server you rent in a data centre. It has a very fast connection and plenty of disk space, and you control it from a web page.

People use them to:

• download large Linux images and other open-source files quickly;
• keep sharing (seeding) open files without slowing their home internet;
• run Jellyfin or Plex to stream their own videos and music to any device.

You pay monthly, usually by storage size. Shared seedboxes are cheapest; a private server (VPS) gives more control.
