KVM Storage VPS?
I am looking for a storage/backup VPS that supports veracrypt for around $4-5/month. As far as I know, veracrypt requires fuse and loop devices, which OpenVZ cannot support securely. I would only need about 80G of storage, 512M of memory, and a 1Gbps link. Preferably it would be located in the east cost (although not super important).
An offer similar to what I have in mind:

Although they're down/up link is apparently quite slow (Disclaimer: I have not personally used them) and they're currently out of stock.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Price expectations

If XenHVM is OK, drServer @Brad might have 100GB Dallas (Incero) storage boxes in stock, it's $20/year.
https://backupsy.com $4/m with 40PERCENT code.
Delimiter's KVM resource pool is also an option, but slightly out of your budget. Location is Atlanta.
Prometeus has KVM storage pool too, but that's in Europe, NL.
If London is OK, then @Infinity might have something to offer you.

hosthatch comes to mind, 250 GB in LA at $5/m
If you're prepared to pay $6/month then Delimiter's cloud option is ideal:
KVM
1 Core
1GB RAM
250GB NVMe accelerated storage
1 IPv4
You can add storage as required either by expanding the existing disk or adding additional disks. Each disk can be upto 50TB.

HVM would definitely work, since I would be able to use a custom kernel. I can't seem to find the Incero offer you mentioned though, which brand is it under? All the offers you mentioned are pretty attractive. Thanks for the great info!
Unfortunately those disks are a bit smaller than what I had in mind. Thank you though.
The KVM plans I found in the table at the bottom of the page is out of my price range unfortunately.

We're at $7/month (over your initial budget -- but a storage based KVM VPS) for 500GB KVM instances -- https://mnx.io/pricing

Feel free to open a ticket at https://drserver.net/drbill/index.php?/tickets/new/ and we'll easily set you up with what you need.
That's an amazing deal. But I would never be able to use that much disk space for what I need to do. Thank you though.
Ticket opened (#480174).
Edit: Ticket number
Replied.
About 3x the OP's budget, though if OP is flexible on RAM it's $7 for 250GB.
I got a VPS from drServer in Dallas. Still looking for maybe 1 or 2 good offers (it can be in Dallas as long as it's a different node). If nothing else gets posted I'll probably go with Backupsy as they have multiple locations.
