OVH / Hetzner / Online - holy trinity.
any cheaper one, mr. el cheapo here...
Those are probably your best options at the cheapest price points unfortunately.
That's the cheapest other than possibly slot hosting where you buy a HDD up front. Those are all EU providers also. US will cost more.
Check on dacentec.com though, sometimes you can get lucky.
@qps might work for you. I found an E3 w/16G @ $40/mo special, + $10 for a 3TB drive. (perhaps reach out to them to see if they have 4TB available?)

This would get you a server in LA at least, unlike every provider mentioned above.
WholesaleInternet is probably your best bet.
I know for a fact that some HP Core2Duos will read and boot EFI/GPT just fine, so he might be able to get one of those $10 hosts and throw a couple hundred on the drive.
I've requested 4TB drives from qps in the past. It depends on stock and they'll order them if they're out of stock but this was in Atlanta.
Thanks - yes - we can do 4TB drives (or larger if desired). We don't list them on the order form because of lack of demand, but we can get them in a few days if we don't have them in stock.
Ask @cociu if he still does slot hosting. Last I remember he was pretty damn cheap.
thanks for suggestion, is same company as nocix right? i think will not go there.
well said, i consider it as suggestion :P
got my lucky, yesterday i check dacentec and see available config. thanks
