That's going to suck even more when you realize:
- Webhosting sucks when using torrent trackers (they often take up too much resources and end up getting eliminated by the webhosting company).
- Servers on the other hand, doesn't suck. But do require much more cash in the pocket, as well as a valid creditcard. (but there are few which actually WANT torrent trackers on their servers now a days... And those who still dare, will make you pay... Big bucks.)
- If you get an server, you got to be prepared to spend extra cash or time taking care of it, as well as find an quick way (besides donations) to earn money so that monthly payments (and expandability) can be covered.
- In the long run it all just doesn't cut it. (Yep, that's the hard and harsh truth of it all. It might have a nice start, if any at all. Then head straight down. Financially as well as with other reasons.)
With that said... There are a few on here who are actually on a VPS, or even shared webhosting plan and running their trackers, with 500 - 1000 seeders/leechers.
