Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn't easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

AWS/GCP is an order of magnitude more expensive for those specs. And they would ban you for downloading copyrighted material without a VPN. So I wouldn't recommend that. I was able to get a similar set up using Linode but the specs were way worse and I couldn't do transcoding, and I didn't torrent using the $5 a month VPS.

It depends on what hardware the host is using, my VPS is capable of transcoding around 4 streams simultaneously.
