Thinking to move from my current Dedi Host, but where...?

Hello all,
New on LET, I normally stalk on this site just reading and never inputting so thought I should start a discussion today as I really don't know what to do!
I currently have a dedi with Online.net with the specs of:
Intel Xeon E3 1230v3 3.30Ghz
32GB RAM
250GB SSD
1Gbps
Windows Server 2012 R2
All this comes to a total of $43 a month
At the moment space is getting really tight for me and I really need some more leeway in space, keep in mind this is a personal server for projects and sometimes comes in handy when I am doing my job (Field Engineer), as it can host files and such when I need it in a sticky situation and currently now using as a Media Server as an added role.
What would you suggest? Online.net has the DEDIBOX® LT 2016 for €39.99 /month but that one time setup fee... It's such a bummer even though I'm with them!

Location ? Budget ? For Europe, have you checkout Hetzner ? Not many providers cheapen than online.net around these days.
Yeah I did! But from the specs / comments people make about them having reliable disks... It worried me.
Biggest thing for me right now is the space.. Only option I see viable is going for that Online.net DEDIBOX.
Location will be either AMS / France / UK and a budget of $50 / 45 Eur.
Guess then DEDIBOX is the best option for now. Lets wait for others to chime in.
Thanks for the information, and yes let's see what the others suggest!
You could use raid 1 on hetzner
I have several Hetzner (Server Auction) machines for quite some time now. Only once, a HD broke and was changed by them within minutes on a weekend. I really cannot complain. Just use RAID-1 and you are good to go.
If i had a server with SSD i wouldn't replace it with a server with HDD.
How about additionally getting the cheapest small dedi from online.net, installing linux and samba on it and using it's disk to extend the storage space of your current server via samba mount?
I was expecting a thread that you wanted to relocate. Got disappointed though.
Good idea but the storage range is just too expensive from them... Unless I get a Nano! Would that still be able to do everything I wanted to do? Would it be quick?
I do want to relocate! I want a plan which lets me have around the same specs but just more SSD space?
How is there support?
if you are happy with the current network connection with online.net then I don't see a reason to relocate, just grab a larger box. you are doing field work so chances are you won't use some mega crazy connection... right?
@PirateHitman I meant: I was expecting a thread that you wanted to move to another country.
for me, your existing offer looks damn great
how can i get one?
Comes in handy when rolling out various bits of software etc..
Wouldn't mind honestly... It's the price I am worried about. I'm fine if it's in West EU.
Got it last time when Online.net was doing a sale of their old stuff..
He meant, you are PHYSICALLY moving (shifting house/job etc) to a new country YOURSELF. not your server. That is what the word "Relocate" is generally used for.
Ah right... Fixed
