So basically i want something like s3, just cheaper. 2 companies that i know of are :<p>http://dreamhost.com/cloud/dreamobjects/pricing/<p>http://www.constant.com/cloud/storage/<p> Exluding azure,google,hp,rackspace who all have nearly the same pricing.My usecase is for video and photo storage and serving. Thanks

There's also Google Cloud Storage which is cheaper per gigabyte (I think). Amazon S3 costs $0.125/GB where as Google charges $0.12/GB. And Google's integrates well with their App Engine and Cloud DB options. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

  And rackspace + azure should have nearly the same pricing. But comparing to the two i listed, they have 1/2 pricing,although the pricing goes nearly the same after 500TB storage (reduced redundancy) and 150TB bandwidth which is alot.

  But does Google actually provide support for GCS? I'm perfectly happy paying $0.005/GB more if it means I can actually contact someone when things break.
