Looking for a cheap storage VPS
Hello folks.
We are a group of med students who want to watch some recordings of classroom sessions on the go via Plex. I was happy enough with watching them on my home pc, but these guys came to me and asked me to put the videos "on the cloud" so they can watch them anywhere.
The videos are not copyrighted. Roughly 350GB of ~480p videos. I don't expect any transcodes to happen.
The thing is, I am happy enough watching these from local hdd, and I will be the one maintaining the whole setup, so I don't want to pay anything for this. Two other people will be covering the costs. Now these are poor and non-techie students and will probably won't understand the hosting industry. I proposed we used Zxhost's $48/y offer for this, but $48 = 171TRY and they have roughly 550-600 TRY/mo incomes so they asked for something cheaper, since we don't need that much space. Why am I writing these in detail? So maybe you won't shoot the messenger :P
Now the specs.
VZ Type: OpenVZ / LXC
Number of Cores: 1
RAM: 512MB
Disk Space: 400GB
Disk Type: HDD
Bandwidth: 500GB should cover us and leave lots of legroom
Port Speed: 100Mbps
DDoS Protection: No
Number of IPs: 1 IPv4
Location: Most likely EU, however anywhere with good TR connection is fine.
Budget: Lower than $48/y obviously, but I am not shameless enough to ask for a specific figure.
Billing period: Up to yearly depending on the price, however quarterly might be a good compromise for them price and commitment wise.
Thank you for reading this wall of text for my shameless request. Cheers!

@OP
How many videos are we talking about here? If they are not copyrighted you can consider hosting them on YouTube, that way others can view them far into the future.
Hey neat idea! They aren't copyrighted, however we'd like to keep the videos to ourselves. Is youtube good for managing a private library that size?
You can remove public listing from videos
Yeah, just list them as private.
@jetchirag @mikewazar Well I know I can upload the videos as private. What I wonder is, does Youtube manage my videos like Plex? I have never uploaded a video to Youtube. It is necessary to categorize the videos, like "Gastroenterology" or "Obstetrics" etc. If it does, then a free solution would be the best for these guys.
You can create private playlist which would act as categories.
YouTube it is, then!
