I've been searching for a large storage server for under $10. Haven't found any yet. Any recommendat
I mainly need it for storing data. It'll be used for Nextcloud, so high performance might not be necessary, but I do need more storage space.

Large as in 100 GB or large as in 100 PB?
Websites have ads, I have ad-blocker.
100PB is too large. Anything under 2TB should be sufficient.

I would recommend Crunchbits and GreenCloud.

I'm not very confident in GreenCloud. Their services are constantly under attack, and they don't offer refunds.

You can get at least 2TB of storage on all of these hosts for about $10.

From my experience they oversell to hell, I'd rather pay a bit more for a premium product.
And I can't take a host called "HostBRR" seriously. Its fine for throwaway vm's or hobby stuff, but I wouldn't rely on it too much.
monthly or yearly?

Do you have any better suggestions?
month
The ones I listed have good reputation and are in business for a long time, should be a good choice.
I'd avoid C1V too if reliability is important, their reviews are pretty bad.
Servarica polar bear storage

I have three HostBrr VPSs, and I don't have any issues related to overselling.
There were issues because of DDoS attacks, but everything has been fine since HostBrr moved my VPSs to a new location with better DDoS protection.
HostBrr's support is better and faster than many other providers, and the quality of both the VPSs and support has been higher than, for example, HostHatch.
HostBrr is much better than throwaway VMs or hobby-level setups and is suitable for common production usage.
There's a HostBrr anniversary thread on OFG, and flash deals sell out in minutes. That wouldn't happen if the service were subpar.
Yes, I also buy domains from porkbun.com because the name doesn't matter. The price and quality of their service are what's important.
Have also a look at layer7, I'm quite happy with them

Maybe wait for hosthatch anniversary offers on OGF

For cheap storage I would look at Servarica, Crunchbits or HostHatch. I have storage servers with all of them and they are all performing a lot better then what you would expect for the price.
Crunchbits absolutely. Very solid service, good prices and fast support. Premium provider.
What projects do you use it for? Yesterday, I tested HostHatch and Curun. Their CPU performance isn't enough for running Nextcloud; it runs slowly.
Check the YABs for these providers, and you should be able to judge for yourself whether they suit your needs. Asking questions is great, once it reaches nitpicking stage, that means you are insulting the time and the advise of those who have responded.

Maybe this would work https://www.interserver.net/storage/?
Its pretty affordable and allows installation of webapps, including OwnCloud. Maybe it would be able to run NextCloud too?
I'm sorry but I don't know what technical stack is behind NextCloud
No suggestions other than companies listed already. That said, maybe keep an eye on the RAM. Can’t see a definitive answer but NextCloud seems to want between 2 or 4GB base (and the sky is the limit if you add users or features). Some of the storage focused VPS might come with less RAM at this price point.
Spec wise on OGF HostBrr has an anniversary offer for a compute VPS with some cheap additional addon storage that on paper fits the bill, but looks like they may be ruled out. Greencloud and Crunchbits are both good in my experience. I also have NextCloud deployed to a Hosthatch compute instance that runs well but I’m yet to do much with it, but I haven’t added much storage to that box (I don’t intend to host much data on the box itself). Hosthatch are doing a sale in a few hours but so might be worth looking at:
Nextcloud is a fork of Owncloud and also just uses php so it indeed would work on web hosting like that one. May have to set it up yourself if there's no option to do it, but its not overly difficult.
https://www.alwyzon.com/en/storage-servers should be very good in terms of performance, but sadly its over the budget for 2TB plan. I completely forgot about them but I've heard very good things about this provider.
greencloudvps and hosthatch are top on my list for using raid10.
greencloudvps gives me best consistent IO performance.
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Since they are storage servers I use them for storage. Nextcloud runs on the frontends.
There is a reason why they separate storage vm's and compute vm's, they do different things.
What kind of server are you trying to run Nextcloud on? Most of the storage server packages have 1vcpu, definitely not enough to run Nextcloud.
