Small Storage VPS

nikhm2nnikhm2n
in General

I am searching for a storage vps for around $20/yr. From what I can find, Alpha vps and servarica seem to be recommended for storage vps. Also crunchbits, but they seem to be out of stock, always.
I'm leaning towards Alpha vps at the moment, as they have plans around my price point, but am waiting for the black friday before making a decision.
I was previously eyeing c1v but, well, that ship is better left abandoned.
So, what providers do you guys recommend for a small storage vps for around $20/yr? I don't have much in terms of requirements. Around 100GB if SSD, and around 256GB if HDD. Would prefer SSD.
I want to host immich and move away from Google Photos.

    1. Get huge storage box (1-2TB)
    2. Setup summerwinterhost and sell small slices only keeping 256GB to yourself
    3. Profit
    4. Reinvest profit to get more storage boxes
    5. Start a legitimate business
    6. Get your own hardware
    7. Et voila, you now have a LowEndStorage company.

    Unfortunately, I'd rather spend my money on servers than women.
    And wives, are a very costly investment with a 50-50 chance of breaking down.
    More unstable than C1V.

    Both are pretty ok, I think alphavps performs a bit better than servarica, also have a look at the latency and routing between you and them, as servarica is in Canada and alphavps is in Bulgaria, so it may affect your use case by a lot.

    Keep an eye for hostbrr, hostc and layer7 offers.

    You can also get a C1V vps offer for the fun of it, you won't be disappointed.

    Thanks for the recommendation, guys. Was looking for something with compute, but caved in nonetheless. Couldn't resist.
