Hello, of course I understand you, but they offer CLoud storage and we were talking about VPS. There is still a difference between them.
How is excess traffic calculated? Reset or speed limit?
where is the order link?
is buyvm available for porn content?
https://panel.ihostart.com/index.php?rp=/store/storage
but i do not recommend it for production (my opinion), i use it for torrent and file sharing
So long as it's legal in the country it's hosted in.

emm, a little confused about this, do u mean only ok in Luxembourg?
Lux is even stricter than you USA, so if you’re there you’d want to check. For real porn it’s 18+.
Francisco
is that real? all I know from other comments online, that Luxembourg ignore the DMCA, and allow all the porn content.
and is your usa vps, allow porn content over 18+?
That’s correct but basically every country is going to require the content be of adults. If you’re questioning someone’s age in what you’re posting then….

+1 for the question, I assume the machine would be suspended until the next month, but the FAQs / KB don't mention this.
You mention the extreme redundancy and want something better than that. Unless you doubt BackBlaze's claims, I would be very surprised to find a place that can pull that off. In your initial post you just said you wanted to replace them with something cheaper, but now you want to replace them with something better, too.
I don't think that is going to happen, frankly. However if you just want the price to go down and you're flexible otherwise, go get a HostBrr storagebox like @sillycat mentioned. And if you desire more excitement in your life, go with iHostArt instead

I meant that there has to be some part that's better than what you can get at Backblaze, not that I needed better than extreme redundancy. If Backblaze offers very redundant backup for $6/TB/month, why would I want to spend $15/TB/month for something with less redundancy?
"Backblaze has extreme redundancy for $6 / month / 1TB, so my needs would be something better than that." meaning "Backblaze is $6 / month / 1TB with extreme redundancy, so that's the standard by which an offer should be compared."
Yes, and in this post you introduce the criterion of redundancy, which previously didn't seem to be relevant. Now it has been made relevant by you mentioning it. If it wasn't relevant, you should not have brought up redundancy. Think of it like the CEO's haircut. If your response to an offer is that you decline because BackBlaze is cheaper and their CEO has a better haircut, then haircuts are now part of the comparison and thus relevant.
If you don't want idle speculation to be a part of this, then just say outright what you are looking for, rather than just to "replace backblaze". In any case, I believe you have been served the correct answers already, multiple times.
does host-c allow porn
Wow... you're a trip. The CEO's haircut is completely unrelated to Backblaze's functionality, so if I randomly brought that in, then it does become a consideration, but that's not the case here and most people would clearly understand the difference.
If I say I want a car and someone says they've got a used car for $15, and then I say "Dealer A has a new car for $6", that just means that the second offer is worse in multiple dimensions. It doesn't bring the new/used is the metric that determines everything. It's just saying the price is MORE and it's WORSE.
I'm glad that you believe I've been served the correct answers already, but neither of the places you suggested are a good fit. I can appreciate labze saying he's not concerned, but I also don't like engaging in "look the other way"-ish when doing business either, and ihostart is well, quite drama filled, at the very least.
I stand by what I said: If it wasn't relevant, you should not have brought up redundancy.
A statement like
Does not actually tell us how to compare offers when B2's redundancy is not even going to be matched. How many $ is a unit of redundancy worth? Unless you provide that value, nobody can evaluate the comparison you want to make. Being condescending isn't going to magically change any of that.
By grounding your rejection in the combined metric of redundancy and $, you have changed your initial request and made it much less clear because nobody knows how to convert the two - and if redundancy is indeed irrelevant to you, then you should not have brought up redundancy.
What should I do if I don't have enough traffic in this configuration, and how can I add a traffic package?
I went the encrypted route for one of my projects that purely needed backup (even though I'd much rather spend money at a place that welcomes my business), but I'm still looking for a 3TB or 4TB option to replace Backblaze.
Any new offers?
I was a ihostart customer.
Didn't have to worry about excess traffic because server was offline (from providers end) from time to time and unreachable.
You get what you pay for. So keep that in mind.
Nope:

Weirdly, last I heard they don't even allow DNS servers:

The DNS seems ridiculous, though I don't see it in their ToS, unlike the porn thing.
I've got a list of places on here that advertise but don't allow adult. As such, my legal funds are lost to them.

I'm sure it's missing some and perhaps there are some errors, but I'm pretty thorough in checking things out.
