Looking for 500GB+ storage with decent specs for ~<$100/year

I've come across a couple decent offers approximately fitting my needs but just in case there's more around I haven't noticed... Relatively modest requirements but tight budget:

  • KVM ideally, Xen HVM ok. (Cheapskate dedicated even better).
  • 500GB RAID-backed storage minimum. SATA or network storage is fine as long as it doesn't crawl.
  • 4G RAM minimum, ideally more
  • 2 cores minimum, ideally more. Desktop-grade is fine but some horsepower
  • 100mbps minimum
  • Single IPv4 address
  • Ideally in continental Europe, but anywhere in the world should be OK
  • Under (or around) $100/year. Willing to pay yearly or semi-yearly.

Other details:

  • DDoS protection not needed
  • Monthly transfer unknown, but let's say 500GB
  • Will be running Debian/Proxmox, would prefer to install the OS myself but it's OK if Debian templates/preinstalls are provided

    I mean for 500 GB storage, 1 GB Ram and 1 core vCPU

    Nice shilling, that's your own company. Also, you don't have a valid WHMCS.

    Yes of course

    Then you need a provider tag and why is your WHMCS pirated? Btw I already found some red flags so probably I won't provide you a tag even you requested.

    You are profiting from a software and using pirated license is inexcusable. Also your screenshot shows that you have STEAMUNLOCKED in your bookmark which shows that this is not the only thing you pirated.

    https://virmach.com/cloud-storage-servers/

    For $35/YR, and tag me here + DM me your e-mail with us and I can increase it by +3.5GB RAM, +1 Core for the other +$65/YR part of your budget. Actually, I can add that for like +$40/YR instead (total $75/YR.) Keep in mind depending on what server you land on I might have to recreate it so don't start putting your data on there yet until I confirm it's done (and actually DM me and confirm I can wipe it so there's no confusion.)

    Then I can move you to Amsterdam at no additional charge once we have space there.

    Does all your RAM happen to be swap?

    Step 3. Install Nulled WHMCS
    You're currently in the "testing phase", which means you have an excuse for using a nulled copy of WHMCS.

  • CalinCalin Member, Patron Provider

    @yoursunny no sir , it is the real ram.Please send PM message.
    If you want me to give you a test.

    I don't want to be hated by people :)

    Thank you for all the suggestions so far, still have a few more days to pick my destination so if someone else comes up with more providers, I'm listening.

    BuyVM appears to be about twice my budget but LETBox is one of my main candidates.

    Yes, another option I'm considering. A dedi would be even better than a VPS, the biggest issue is I'd be sacrificing RAID

    Hmm I'm coming from HostSolutions, having lost access to my servers while they try to stay afloat or whatever, so any red orange flag is offputting.
