Looking for new media server
Hello,
I have had the luck of using a great host for the past few years. Paying $30 a year for 200gb storage and several overly not necessary gigs of ram (its on a 3 year renewal).
My host has been great for about 10 years, as of the last 1-2 years, disappointing. Looking for a new host. I usually host some media managed between limited users on emby. Looking for a server with 512mb roughly and 100gb storage.
Looking for recommendations and best deals. I have been doing some research and not finding many storage related deals.
Thanks all.

You can use a cheap VPS from Hetzner/VULTR/... and just use an S3 service(Like VULTR/DO/AWS) to store your media.
Grab a KS-1 if you are satisfied with 100Mbps and you will get a 2TB disk

Cheap Hetzner VPS + Hetzner BX11 Storage Box works for me.

Mount it with CIFS.
For about $50 USD/year you can get Servarica's polar bear storage: https://clients.servarica.com/store/black-friday-2021
However to be strict to your original plan of $30 USD/year you can check out these:

Is hetzner vps enough to run plex? 🙄
It should be, with direct play no transcode.
Always worked for me.
