Since the OP indicated elsewhere that the storage need not be local on the machine, Backblaze is almost certainly the best answer.
500 GB of Backblaze B2 storage is $2.50 / month
Pair that with a $5 DigitalOcean droplet and the need is met for a grand total of $7.50 / month.
- webtechgal 10y agoWow!!! DO being a favorite of mine, I will definitely try to explore this. My concern, however, is what about the bandwidth between DO and Backblaze? How would that count/work?
- snuxoll 10y agoBandwidth into both B2 and DigitalOcean is free, bandwidth OUT of them is metered (or in the case of DO you get a bucket of bandwidth to start and then it's metered past that bucket).
- jazoom 10y agoAlso there appears to be no way in the dashboard of DO to see bandwidth usage. I don't know where they say it's metered after that, because they just slowed down the speed severely when my server went over, rendering it useless for its purpose without warning.
- novaleaf 10y agodigital ocean charges $0.02/gb after your vm quota is used up. fyi, amazon/google charges above $0.10/gb
