Thanks @rudra for posting that cautionary note, and thanks @Amresh for adding it to your tutorial. @rudra is correct that this tutorial may not apply to the VPSs that we have for promotion at post4vps. Please don't try it on our VPSs before verifying that it is allowed by the sponsor first.
As always and the staff can't stress it enough. When you have your eye on a VPS you need to know the objectives you're going to use it for FIRST. THEN very important - most important - you have to read the Terms and Conditions (TOS) of the sponsor VERY CAREFULLY - Word for Word and match it up with your objectives. Particularly for something like Torrents. Don't just assume or "hope" that the sponsor is going to allow it. If you can't find it specifically addressed in the sponsor's TOS, then ask us to find out for you first. We prefer that. Because if torrents are not allowed, and you were just taking a chance and hoping that the sponsor does allow it rather than making sure you know, then the VPS gets suspended from the sponsor, and you put a whole load on the staff to get it unsuspended. Worse, the sponsor may have a zero tolerance policy, in which case we may lose the VPS entirely.
Secondly, as you mentioned in your second post @Amresh, torrents take a lot of CPU and bandwidth to run. I'd say the majority of sponsors believe in common sense "fair use" policy - particularly since the VPSs under our care are promotion VPSs. If they see the CPU or bandwidth being abused, the VPS may be suspended instantly without questions asked first.
I wish not only some of our members but all of our members realize that there is an expectation from each member to exercise proper care and to read the TOS and Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) of the sponsor very carefully - BEFORE you apply for the VPS.
Another good idea would also be to read through the VPS Support Section of post4vps for a history of support requests to get a good sense of what the sponsor's level of tolerance is. Like you could easily Google the sponsor's account name and find responses by him. You'll then easily pick up on some of our sponsors who have a very strict ZERO TOLERANCE policy. If you're unsure about it, you can always ask us by opening a VPS support discussion in the Forum.
