Wanted: non-RAID storage VPS
Lots of threads around low-end-storage...bunch of providers talking about potentially offering it...but anyone actually ready to take my money?
OVZ OK, 100-400GB non-RAID, non-SSD storage (aka Low End Storage), 128MB or 256MB RAM, unmetered 10MBit/s (example, flexible here).
I do need a single IPv4 in the short term (until Tahoe-LAFS is IPv6 enabled [planned...]) but I'm happy to share an IP as only need a handful of ports... Will need IPv6 in say 1 year...
Looking for diverse range of providers, geographies and networks (FYI, bulk of data coming from central and western EU).
Cost wise, would love to get to 3 cents per GB, but open to offers. If you're an established VPS provider with a decent rep, happy to pay for a year as long as you'll refund unused months if you decide to pull the service
I don't expect any frills, value add services or "free" backup for that money.

Consider a ovh MKS2G for £8.99 seems to be in budget.
Already have a kimsufi 2G - I'm looking for around 10 separate and diverse storage dumps
A bit more expensive but there's this:

Amazon Glacier? 1c/GB if it's any use for your purposes.
What about RAID10 protected storage.. I have plenty of spare space :P

Doesn't exactly fit your requirements, i.e. there is raid, and the bandwidth isn't huge, but it's definitely diverse.
http://serveraxis.com/vps-hicap.php is under your 3 cents per GB threshold, and is RAID-10 and XEN. Slow CPU though.
Wasn't aware of them so thanks. But about 3 times more expensive and I wouldn't be able to run a Tahoe-LAFS storage server (needs python)
IPXcore has several VPS nodes with plenty of free disk space available, since the nodes are 'full' otherwise but were from our early days when we grossly overestimated how much disk space would be used.
3 cents per GB is an acceptable price for us, and it would be hardware RAID to boot. Let me know if you're interested.
Would love to but you gotta eat too
Good call Gary and already about to use 'em for long term archiving...can't beat that pricing.
Interesting - wasn't aware they did storage - thanks!
...yeah and pricing starts at 24USD per month . I need less disk per node and less resilience . Thanks though.
Definitely interested
Go up to 5 cents per GB and HMU if you are interested :P
Just picked up 300GB in Buffalo, New York - thanks @concerto49!
Exploring other options to...might be able to nail this tonight
My storage VPS offering is coming together, getting parts together now. Hopefully later this week.
@fliphost what sort of offer? Any preliminary prices / specs?
We have the following plans available upon request:
100 GB => $3.50 /Mo.
250 GB => $7.00 /Mo.
500 GB => $13.00 /Mo.
1 TB => $25.00 /Mo.
@eastonch Nothing solid yet, working on a few final details, however I guess the closest comparison would be buyvm pricing if I am able to do what i would like to.
Possibly cheaper, depends on the replies i get on monday to my emails.
Location: Most likely Phoenix
Will be OpenVZ
OK, picked up another 100GB with an existing VPS I rent - spare space on the node and provider in a good mood
Sure I am
:-D
And picked up 250GB with BlueVM...
I've got some spare space on a Xen node @ Hetzner (RAID1) if you're interested.
3 cents per GB is fine, as long as the plan is at least $5/month
@George_Fusioned great - I'll take 7USD worth. I'll PM you. Thanks!
$5.00 for 65GB (a bit pricier) with unmetered 100mb/s (as long as you don't go crazy).
SJC here, CoreSite facility, IPv6 ready.
@lele0108 thanks but that's over double what I want to spend per GB
Anyone have Chicago storage at these rates?
$7 for 100GB + 256MB + 1TB xfer in Dallas.
@simplenode thanks but that's 7c a GB...
Storage servers in Europe and US covered. Could do 1 more in EU I guess (got France and Germany already)...but looking further afield... Can any providers offer this kind of deal in Aspac?
@craigb there was something in Estonia i think, can't remember the provider's name.
And ASPAC is probably not an option, due to bandwidth costs.
@rds100 cheers for th Estonia reminder. Yeah I suspect you're right re: impact of bandwidth pricing but I'm flexible on that point so could go lower if storage pricing is right
@craigb
$3 will not be anywhere near a 10M line in APAC, 0.5M more like it but then your backup would take forever. Storage is cheap, bandwidth is simply too much more expensive so that affects the price.
If you're going to be mainly uploading to the VPS (incoming on provider end), then maybe you can get a better deal in APAC since most providers in APAC send > receive. Selling of excess capacity
