How much storage?
500GB~1TB or +
What is your budget? What bandwidth do you need?
Honestly don't know this company but I'm skeptical of cloud/VPS storage. Has any provider proven reliable for cloud/VPS storage that posts on LET or LEB? I would recommend Kimsufi, I have dedicated storage there for years and no issue. Con is 100mbit port.
Some VIP members recommend Virmach like
@WSS
I would listen to him at least on this topic and trust his reviews of products.

VirMach and BudgetNode are both solid choices
https://openvz.io/
Do you think we still get alot of storage requests around these parts?
WSS is very knowledgeable but afaik he picks up servers with unproven hosts that have been failures. I guess it depends if OP needs long-term storage. I'd only use Google or Kimsufi ATM. Or Hetzner storage box.
Edit: Nevermind OP wanted VPS/KVM, my suggestion don't apply.
That was my main reason for making that site :P
Awesome site. Isn't Ultra VPS is 1gbit port?
There's been only one significant provider failure resulting in data loss that I know of so far. There have been a few other instances of services having outages or other snags that eventually got sorted without losing data, though one of those was rather lengthy. Obviously with Kimsufi there's an up-front chance of a disk failure since there's no RAID.
There are no totally safe options. The safest ones cost more than the low-end ones by enough margin that from an LET standpoint, you're better off buying cheap and arranging your own fallback strategy.
Agreed but dedicated disk should lower likelihood of problems. For root Kimsufi is my go to, non-root Hetzner. You can be creative with Google also. I wasn't a fan of block storage at Vultr or DO (performance wise), also way too pricy. I guess Scaleway is better in that regard. With that said I keep my eyes open for other providers worth using just none have looked attractive so far.
@Xei
I agree dude has higher risk tolerance than I and the thing about this market is at any second a small provider could deadpool.
Something critical could go down (which may not be easy to fix) and then customers start wanting their money back or leaving and if something goes horribly wrong it is hard to recover.
But when it goes crap side down he admits that it turned out crap side down and gives an honest review.
In short Virmach is not deadpool.
I'll stick with my current storage but first thing I did when I saw Virmach mentioned is Google them. I'm sure they are great though.

Half of their reviews are made by monkeys, so who cares about trustpilot. Even godaddy have somewhat good score
hahahahahahahaha lol lol lol You've never had a PC at home for any length of time I guess. Disks always eventually fail.
yes, please shut up
Thanks!
They state their storage nodes have 10 Gbit links
Can vouch for Virmach; they keep their servers running and do a decent job of weeding out abusers. No IPv6 on their CC locations, of course. Pay attention to the ToS and throw them a pre-sales ticket if you feel you might run the CPU too much.
No, our storage nodes have 10G uplinks.
Ikoula has a 2 TB dedicated server for like $12. Depending on what you're planning to do I think this is a good deal. It's in France but I've been using one of their $10 Atoms for a while and it's been great and I have not had issues with the transatlantic trip.
When did I say disks don't fail....? Ignoring all other factors... if you just store back ups a few times a year and the box is idle... versus tons of users writing to the same disk all day long like in a shared environment, which is likelier to fail faster?
Unless you've got some experimental data supporting one theory or another, I wouldn't presume either way. I've had disks fail while not spinning at all. They worked fine, then after being spun down, refused to spin back up. I've also had disks fail (read errors etc) despite seeing very light use, like in computers that were powered down most of the time.
Racisttt!!
If you can accept OpenVZ NAT you can get 500gb for close to $30/year here: https://clients.mrvm.net/cart.php?a=add&pid=36
They are currently out of stock.
500Gb plan is available...
The location is noted as sold out if you look closely
We've got storage KVMs available at Los Angeles, CA at 2 datacenters,
250 GB Storage, 512 MB RAM, 2 TB bandwidth, $25/year --> https://crowncloud.net/clients/cart.php?a=add&pid=318
500 GB Storage, 512 MB RAM, 3 TB bandwidth, $5/month --> https://crowncloud.net/clients/cart.php?a=add&pid=306
1 Gbit/sec uplink, Dual E5-2670/2660 on the host-node.
