Is there any web hosting companies (irish or otherwise) that allow torrent trackers to be used on a shared server without having to go to the expense of buying a dedicated server. I intend to open a small tracker intergrated into my Vbulletin forum for sharing non-copyrighted files.

Cheers,
Richard

Which ports do the trackers use?

depends on the tracker but I believe port 6969 ...

One problem as I see it is most Tracker software needs to be compiled on the server ... and they tend to be a bit of a resource hog (100 mbs is one figure I've seen quote)

You'll also need a fixed IP (to the best of my knowledge) ...

You wouldn't be able to host it with us, since we firewall our network.

You'd probably be able to do it with a lot of the other hosting companies however, as a lot of them have little or no firewalling in place

Like Michele we firewall our shared network, but you could probably run it off a dedicated server from about the 100-150 euro per month mark.
