I tried doing some custom deals with ethernetservers and it sounds like they does not do it, at least in this moment if I understood it well. It would be nice if they could provide the possibility for custom deals, even on a budget. What did they told you?
I asked if they would do monthly billing and if they would tell me an average number of vps per node
I was exaggerating, but not a whole lot. He was offering a 4TB vps for $7/month last week.
@Xenos ... Well, I wouldn't mind paying $10 for it! lol
I saw the offer you are mentioning. Despite the kidding, if they could arrange some storage deals with high amoung of disk space since they already offered it, they could make a little money per node, and with many nodes a lot of money if it is completely unmanaged, as they wouldn't need to provide any sort of support but for hardware. I don't know, maybe it could work depending on the hardware they make available for this.
Is the only provider able to match it Time4VPS?
No one else on earth?
Care to wait more than 3 hours? Different time zones...
Specs in the OP are easily do-able, just not for that budget...
If you want 50 of them over the next year why not just go for a dedicated with big disks?
vrtz.net seems to be down.
It's not just you! http://vrtz.net looks down from here.
@Frecyboy ... Lets wait and see, as it is very likely you are right.
@Mahfuz_SS_EHL ... Yes, it is down to me as well.
@Wych ... What I'm talking about for over 50 of these is a bit different as it is more to partnering with some hosting service providers to take care of some demands. But that's a whole different history yet to be planned. Anyhow, it is a nice thing to check what people are willing to do, in a manner you can evaluate who are the ones you'd like to deal with for this or that project. That's all about trial and error, and filtering the stuff prior to accomplish anything really serious.
@Hbr would be a strange partnership but sure.
just remember that providers also have overheads and need to pay staff, as others have said you will get unsustainable offers but occasionally hosts do run loss leaders.
@Hbr @Mahfuz_SS_EHL
Correct, sorry for that. It's @nexmark's fault...
I am moving servers as soon as it's back online. Should not have so much problems.
So, you own the Website ??
To this point only two providers can meet the requirements, where the first provide more HDD resources:
http://www.time4vps.eu/aff.php?aff=292
http://zxhost.co.uk/client/aff.php?aff=15&pid=10
It sounds like both are affiliate links, but I decided keeping it as it is since the guys has helped finding them.
We are probably about to find a few other hosting companies willing to offer some nice deals.
I wish ZXhost ( @AshleyUk ) could offer some sort of customization matching some pricing points, but it seems like they won't do it at this time...
Correct. Is it wrong?
Currently I am using Softlayer for storage! and i just love them ( But it will hurt your budget )
@adxn ... That's IBM, right? Not an inexpensive option.
Are you a cyber security researcher indeed? Would you mind PMing me a contact email?
check out https://www.hetzner.de/us/hosting/produkte_rootserver/sx61
If you go with RAID-5 it is 18TB of space for 69€. so it is around 3.9€ per 1TB if you split it up to VPS containers.
@exception0x876 ... Well, that's very interesting for a higher demand despite the setup fee.
http://xenpower.com/ ( @Prometeus ) has some nice deals, but didn't match the pricing point. They got almost there, but didn't match it. Maybe there are some coupons or alternative config available?
I'm going to tell you right now.

No.
@0xdragon ... What exactly?
No coupons or alternative/custom configs?
You have an unrealistic expectation that will literally just end in some 1 month old "hosting" company" coming along and making an unrealistic offer (if even they would make an offer like that). Then in a few weeks time, you'll come into LET to complain about how:
"It wasn't fast enough"
"I couldn't use all of my storage"
"The hosting provider deadpooled."
Your choice. You're asking for the impossible and it's not worth anybody's time, effort, or money for your $5.
I would purchase over 50 of these in the coming year.
If you can purchase 50, why not purchase a dedicated server instead of a 5 dollar a month VPS?
@Hbr if you are serious about needing this and more than one, then you should go buy a Hetzner i7-2600 w/ 2x3TB, 20TB bw (then limited to 10mbit) and 16Gb ram and them you should software raid0 the 2 drives and install Xen/SoluVM/Proxmox and generate your own VMs on it (or just use it as a single large storage server). There will be no redundancy when a drive fails but you can make 6 VMs with 1TB storage, 2.5GB ram and shares all 8 threads and it would only cost you about 30-35 Euro per month. This is the ONLY way you are getting what you want at the price you are asking. Also, anyone willing to offer you that much storage at a price point is not going to be offering raid either, so I would be very careful what you store there and trusting them with your data.
My 2 cents.
Cheers
@0xdragon ... I understand your point and agree with that. I have seen several troubles going on many times here and elsewhere. However, there is always someone or a company that can do what other are not willing to: These are the ones I'm trying to identify. For now, I have noted around 6 to 11 of them, but within that budget range only 2 companies, thus not that unrealistic. With a little help from the community members, we can compile a list of them and use as a reference for whatever fits each one's need and expectation.
@ratherbak3d ... I'm trying to figure out who are the ones that can provide these VPSes. As for dedicate nodes, I have compiled a list with over 20 providers with very competitive prices, and I may share here on another thread if people want it. However I'm not really looking for dedicate nodes. I do have two dedicate nodes for production purposes. Now I only want to see who are doing low cost VPSes.
@TheLinuxBug ... I know it buddy. Additionally it is not hard to find 12TB dedicate nodes for EUR 40. On the other hand, it is quite hard finding VPSes with higher specification at a budget. Since there are 2 providers on this list that meets the requirements, maybe other could join the thread and tell us what they can offer.
Maybe you should change your title to be : The Cheapest Storage Provider? Cause the best in not equal with the cheapest. And reading your post, all you want is highest available storage with the cheapest price. Meanwhile, the best in my opinion consist of reliability, uptime, performance, and support.
@sirmbhe ... Agreed, since I started it I would like to change it. It sounds like I can't do it from my end?
However, I would change it to what you have said:
Highest Available Storage and RAM and the Cheapest Price!
I'll tag @Mikho into this to fulfil this request.
Thank you buddy!
Kindly change it to:
Highest Available Storage and RAM and the Cheapest Price!
You forgot to tag IgniteServers :O
The yearly discount is still good. Even the normal monthly price is under $5
