That's not the only alternative.

Rent your VPS and add in extra volumes for like $10 per 100GB.





Funny thing but netcup has $10 per 1 TB

Netcup is under-rated but there are also other providers too at lowendbox/lowendtalk and I am interested to try out hetzner too sometime.


And if you want to go even cheaper, check out Hetzner their EX63 (go to custom) > 4x 7.68TB drives for like 140 Euro.

Not counting the fact that Netcup is raided (also Netcup is limited to 8TB on a VPS).

That is like 4.7 Euro /TB. That is like 4$/TB. 6 Euro / TB in a raid 5 setup.

I do not understand why they are not using this new pricing model on their older servers. There the best you can get is like 10 Euro /TB (for the single 15TB U.2).

Nice to know, but I was just guessing at what a reasonable price would be :-)
