You're looking at the wrong market.
At Hetzner, you can rent a dedicated server with 2x3TB drives for about $25/month ($0.005/GB, to scale to multiple servers, use Ceph) and a few larger machines for under $100. At OVH you can buy object storage for around 1c/GB and rent a few dedicated servers for less than $100/month, or use their cloud.
If you go to the _really_ low end, time4vps will give you a 1TB VPS for 2EUR/month, if you pay for 2 years (and they give you 4x the storage as bandwidth).
I don't work for any of these companies but I have services with all of them.
- 3pt14159 10y agoYeah, but I like the DO per hour billing, design, and API. Other than their insecure-by-default SSH key thing, https://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digitalocean/suggestions/9307569-return-the-droplet-s-ssh-public-key-as-part-of-api https://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digitalocea... that is.
- Veratyr 10y agoYou can get per hour billing for compute at OVH and I believe they're Openstack based so their API isn't too bad.
- happyslobro 10y agoHow many hours does it take to load 10TB and then reduce it to 5GB? ;)
- 3pt14159 10y agoActually because I use the DO API and lots of small instances that work together, not that long. Right now I use S3, which blows because I hate the S3 cli and API, so I would love a better solution.
- tedmiston 10y agoNot sure if it's much better for you use case, but Backblaze introduced an S3 competitor called B2 a few months ago. Price calculation is straightforward: - $0.005/GB/month for storage - $0.05/GB download - $0.004 per 10k downloads There is a base free tier as well. https://www.backblaze.com/b2/ https://www.backblaze.com/b2/
- 3pt14159 10y agoWow thanks for this! I'll definitely use these guys in the future.
