Whisper Speech-to-Text Hosting in the Netherlands
Amsterdam is where most European audio content gets distributed and where most European podcast networks host their CDN edges. Running Whisper transcription on a 4090 inside AMS-IX peering means audio uploads from EU recording studios hit your VPS at line rate and transcript downloads to your CMS feel instantaneous. AnubizHost ships Faster-Whisper + WhisperX on dedicated RTX 4090 in Amsterdam.

Bandwidth Math for Transcription Services
A 1-hour podcast as 192kbps MP3 is ~85MB. A 1-hour video as 1080p H264 is 1-2GB. Transcription services move audio in, transcripts out, with the audio side dominating bandwidth.
AMS-IX peering means uploads from EU clients land fast and any cloud-stored audio source (S3, Backblaze, Wasabi) pulls at line rate. A modest transcription business moving 100GB of audio per month does not stress the 1Gbps unmetered allocation.
Hardware Spec
RTX 4090 24GB, AMD EPYC 8 vCPU, 32GB DDR4 ECC, 500GB NVMe, 1Gbps unmetered. The 500GB NVMe holds a working queue of audio files; for larger archives we recommend object storage (S3 / Backblaze) mounted via rclone.
WhisperX Stack and Pre-Configured Models
Whisper Large-v3, Whisper-Turbo, Whisper Medium, and Whisper Small all pre-cached for different latency/accuracy tradeoffs. WhisperX with pyannote 3.x diarization configured. Silero VAD for silence detection and segmentation.
Demucs vocal separator pre-installed - useful for transcribing audio with background music (podcasts with intro themes, livestream recordings).
Production Patterns
Pattern: podcast network running its own transcription pipeline. Audio drops into an S3 bucket, a watcher script picks it up, runs WhisperX, posts transcript JSON to the CMS. Cost per hour of audio: $0.005 in compute amortized over the 4090's monthly fee.
Compare to commercial transcription APIs at $0.10-0.50 per minute. The 4090 pays for itself at roughly 30 hours of audio per month.
Order
$189/mo. Pay BTC, XMR, LN, USDT. Provision 15-20 minutes. Faster-Whisper API on TLS subdomain plus optional .onion. Models pre-cached, ready to transcribe immediately.
