A while ago I needed something managed, very cheap and S3 compatible and I went with Contabo Object Storage: https://contabo.com/en/object-storage/ https://contabo.com/en/object-storage/ Admittedly I got my money's worth, for about 3 EUR for the very basic plan of 250 GB storage, I get upload speeds of about 6-9 MB/s and download speeds of about 25 MB/s, which is okay for what I'm trying to do. That said, it doesn't seem like there's a way to create additional users with access to only specific buckets not all of them for the same service and the overall offering does feel a bit jank (e.g. when you don't have an active service, you can't log into Contabo at all and while their Object Storage site is nice, the regular VPS one feels functional but dated). What I'm saying is that when it comes to budget options, Hetzner will probably do great, since they have a good track record and it's not like there are that many other alternatives out there! Of course, I could have also gone with just self-hosting with MinIO, Garage or SeaweedFS, as long as the VPS that I'd get would also have enough storage. It's nice that there are self-hosted options, too, I almost dread when I see bespoke object storage solutions at work, either developed before S3 was a thing or because the devs just didn't know or had a case of NIH, so I have to look at how a bunch of blobs are passed through servlets and serialized/deserialized, as well as deal with custom metadata and permission mechanisms.
