Looking for cheap Storage KVM VPS
Hello.
Backupsy lost my VPS along with all the data. Again.
Price-wise it was a great deal three years ago when I signed up, but I don't think its worth it anymore.
Looking for a replacement of the service I've had:
VZ Type: KVM
CPU: don't care, looks like anything is enough nowadays for running encryption
RAM: 256MB+
HDD: I've had 250Gb, but I feel like it's time for an upgrade
Bandwidth: I had 1TB of which I don't think I've ever used much, so 1TB+
Port Speed: don't care
DDOS protection: No
Location: very strong preference of the US (already have a mirror in Europe)
Billing period: I'm okay with yearly as long as the price is good and business is more than one year old
I need a console to be able to enter dm-crypt password at boot and setup Debian Stable with encrypted root.
Usage: storing my backups, webdav for sharing files with friends, running my VPN. Pretty much idle load.
Me: advanced user, who knows how to set up firewall, key auth, cerberous rules for fail2ban and Mandatory Access Control for network-exposed processes. I won't be your hassle.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

We can set you up with a KVM storage VPS in Tampa, FL with either 250GB or 500GB storage. Let me know if you're interested and we can make a deal!
What are your price on the 500GB?
I should've mentioned that I was on 5$/month plan with Backupsy and trying to assess, what I can get for that nowadays.
@aidaho We can do 250GB for $5/month and 500GB for $10/month. These include 1GB RAM and 2GB RAM respectively and both include 2 CPU cores.
There are some discounts you can grab such as 5% off for transferring hosts and 5% off if paying annually.
MNX and LetBox both offer KVM VPS with 500GB storage and 1GB RAM onboard for $7/m in US.
Found these two offers in the recent threads:
SpeedyKVM: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/1969878/#Comment_1969878
tragicservers: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/1946205/#Comment_1946205
Never heard about any of those providers though.
Are there any known pitfalls with these options?
I use LetBox myself, got the 200GB storage for $3/month with the promo code. Very reliable and good bandwidth.
Missed this on the first glance, but LetBox does in fact fit in the budget of $5/m if I'm paying for quarter.
So three viable options now.
I'm surprised LetBox and SpeedyKVM both offer 1GB of RAM for storage vps. Sort of overkill for this kind of job, no?
LetBox offer is sold out and SpeedyKVM support got back to me stating I indeed can mount an iso image for custom install.
That makes SpeedyKVM a clear winner with $4/m, so I've just ordered from them.
I've had service with TragicServers. Roilan ( @tragic ) is great .
A little benchmark:
I think UA is congested on the receiving end here.
which offer is sold out?
When I tried your link to 500 option, it said something along the lines of "Sold out / out of stock".
I checked just now, and it's available again.
