Plex with Google Drive VPS
Hello, I am looking for a VPS that I would be able to use my Gsuite Storage and be able to run plex off of i currently use a SoYouStart server that runs me around $40/month i want to cut my costs by a lot. I would need at least 1gbps up and down and most likely around 200GB of storage and to be able to transcode at least 3-4 1080p streams

I think you should keep your dedi.
well I am most likely going to move over to heztner if i can not get anything cheaper and better for $27/month because I can get around the same performance for $27/month
Go with a Hetzner i7/E3, you won't find a VPS that can handle 3-4 1080p transcodes for less. That's a lot of CPU power.
i7-4770 / 3770 at Hetzner is definitely a good choice for this use case.
EDIT: If their networking works great for you.
Yah that 3770 from Hetzner is pretty solid for transcoding, like 5-6 streams. Really bad peering to the US unfortunately. Not sure if you could improve it with the nginx / cloudflare proxy
i was able to improve it a bit with cloudflare
