Torchbyte is a Romanian hosting company, with datacenters in Bucharest. Being in dire need of a cheap VPS to proxy some heavier stuff through, where lower latency would be preferred, I decided to use the aformentioned host. They're really cheap, too cheap actually, especially considering you get a dedicated IPv4 too with their EUR 4.50/quarter plan.

## Pros:
* Stupidly cheap prices
* Ability to pay with Paysafecard
* DDoS protection (not sure how great it is though)

## Cons:
* Support kinda sucks
* You might have to go through support to do some things, because of some funny DDoS things
* Port 25 is blocked. Support won't unblock it.
* There have been breaches in the past. Not saying those will happen again, but I would be weary if I were you.

I am more than willing to look over all the cons with how cheap it is. However, the stock runs out quickly. According to Stefan over on the Discord, on the 29th of November they'll be restocking everything, so I've marked the date down, as I plan to use them with some future services.
