Storage VM Needed
I hope this is a reasonable request. I'm looking for a storage VM to run youtube-dl and backup my favorite Youtube channels and underground music videos to Google Drive via rclone, as well as host a few research datasets for my colleagues via a password-protected nginx directory. This isn't really production-level stuff, so I'm happy to consider new hosts (so long as the billing period is monthly).
Given this, the work is potentially I/O and network throughput intensive, but I'm happy to do Youtube-dl & uploading at off-peak hours for the node.

That price per TB is very low, but there are a few providers that get close:

I didn't apply any additional filters because you might have to make some concessions to meet your budget.
Cheapest i know of is buyvm slice and slab, but you’re still going to need to raise your budget.
