Storage VPS with either modern distro or KVM/XEN?

Hey, so I just want a box to put some personal files, subsonic, and a few static websites on, and use to play around with various bits and pieces (code I write etc). All the "storage" VPS providers seem to be ancient distros, whereas all the normal providers seem to scale up CPU/RAM with their HDD and become prohibitively expensive.
So I'm ideally looking for something low spec, in Europe, with at least 300GB storage for <$10 a month, where I can manage my own kernel/distro. Pretty low bandwidth requirements etc.

Hello Supreme Rat commander,
Join the family STORAGE-0.5T should fit your need perfectly
https://nexusbytes.com/kvm-storage-vps.html
So many to choose from! Going to try nexus for now as it seems like a great price If it doesn't work out we'll see. Thanks everyone!
Hopefully that'll get set up ASAP so I can start to migrate from Iniz (who are getting rid of their storage VPS and are also OpenVZ)
Welcome to the family your majesty!
Is there any way to upgrade the RAM allocation on a box? Just realised 512MB might be a bit low and is meaning subsonic eats dirt constantly
Amazing, got upgraded just like that And what a difference it makes!
Enjoy my friend. Hope you have received royal treatment (I think I am running out of pun based on your username).
Enjoy!
OP, for future searches, try:
https://en.metadedi.net/
You can sort things like price for TB too. Perhaps @seriesn should add his site here too
But the OP wasn't looking for a dedicated server
I believe that site is for dedicated servers only https://en.metadedi.net/index.php?p=about
He needs to know about ServerHunter too.
I swear to god, Nexus Bytes was there.
Edit : Found it : https://www.serverhunter.com/company/nexusbytes-llc/
Was also looking at this as I'm shopping around to see which has performance I like with (nexus seems like it's more for backup than frequently accessed stuff), but it seems you only accept paypal or "offline payment". I'm banned from paypal because I signed up years ago before I was 18 (lol) and they eventually caught on. If you could take card or whatever I'd have given it a shop.
Man this site is bloody great, currently trying a VPS from PulseHeberg and whilst it was confusing to order because I know no French, it seems zippy as hell and has enough space
You can pay with credit/debit card without creating a PayPal account (Not sure if your ban applies to this method also). We can also do direct bank deposit or BTC.
Just let me know if I can assist you in anyway!
