Find cheap NextCloud instances or Storage VPS
Hello everyone.
I'm currently using Hetzner's Storage Share - that is, their hosted NextCloud service, which quotes 4.29€ per month for 1TB of storage.
Unfortunately, the German data center location has a slow connection and poor availability for China users (this could also be due to the fact that I have too many applications installed, but given the nature of the hosting service, this should not be the reason for the poor availability). So, I'm looking for alternatives. The same hosted NextCloud instance service, or a similar VPS configuration plan.
Specifically, I would probably need 1v CPU, 1G/2G RAM, 1TB/2TB storage, 3TB and under traffic at 500Mbps/1Gbps bandwidth, and 1 dedicated IPV4.
The annual budget cost is comparable to the current level, i.e., between 50 and 60 EUR/USD.
Given the high bandwidth and operating costs in Asia, it's obviously not realistic to expect a machine for the Asian region (of course if it does come along, I think I'll grab it soon 
). So I don't have any regional requirements, but I hope it will be connection friendly for Asia, and you can provide Lookingglass with it so I can test it.
Still, I'm still new to VPS, so if you don't think this price requirement will meet my needs, please let me know their normal price levels so I can evaluate my needs more sensibly in the future.
Thanks

Interserver Storage VPS with happybirthdaylala coupon is pretty good
https://lowendbox.com/blog/the-interserver-storage-vps-experience-interview-with-lowendtalk-member-teko/
It looks like the coupon is only for the first month, and the renewal price goes back to the original price from the next month. It's close to budget though, thanks for the info.
Its recurring, not first month only.
There is a difference between asia and china in this context, most providers here will have problems with good connectivity to china.
This is strange because I see on the confirmation screen that the second month onwards will be charged at $6.
You are right. But routes optimized specifically for China (eg CN2 friendly) usually mean higher prices, and I'm not sure if my current budget can calls for that.
I recommend you 3 vCPU Cores, 75 GB SSD Storage, 4 GB RAM, 10,000 GB BW, choose Seattle location probably, so minimum 3 CPU. On 1 or 2 cores it can be veeeeery slow. Mine has greater performance when I had 4vCPU, so you need more power not just an entry level vps.
75 GB SSD should be enough for personal use. But if you need more disk, you can use the "External Storage" option where you can add, for example, Blackblaze for just $5/TB/month.
and should be highlited in Purple in this case
You can grab a nvme vps from BuyVM and add a storage slab to it.
@interservermike have a look?
If you order the way it is. It will continue to renew at $3. The message in the terms is wrong. I will look into this bug asap.
Any ETA for LA restocking interested to get one.
No ETA yet.
My recommendation would be to get a server that's optimized for china and proxy another server that isn't. There are some options in LA that might fit the bill, or you can try https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/181298/10-bonus-for-first-100-let-users-cn2-directly-connected-15-days-moneyback for proxying hetzner which is located in Russia.
I've heard their bandwidth is very oversold so try it for a month or two and see how it performs for you.
Just decided to start a new journey with InterServer @interservermike and hope everything goes well. Thanks for the information from other members as well.

Look like our Chinese brothers needs to do something like they tried in tiananmen instead of changing providers
