In conjunction with Borg, look at InterServer[1] for a VPS.
They provide some of the best cost-per-GiB storage. I've been using them for 3 years, and I prepay a year in advance. I've been super happy. They're cheap; maybe they'll suffer data loss, but I practice the 3-2-1 backup strategy[2]; if they lose data, I have a local backup; if by some weird chance both InterServer goes down and my house burns down at the same time, I've got another backup drive at my parents' house.
If you're more risk-averse, there's rsync.net[3], but it is substantially more expensive. However, it has really good data backup practices on its side.
