Provider for my audio streaming server
I’m looking for recommendations for a provider with the best possible uptime and a good network. It can be either a VPS or a dedicated server. I use SonicPanel for about 20 stations, with an average usage of around 25TB per month. Currently, I’m using a VPS created on a dedicated server that I have at IOFlood, and it has worked very well. However, I no longer need the dedicated server (I mainly had it contracted for a VPS with cPanel)
My ideal budget would be under $40 per month

IOFlood is great, I used them/gabriel over 10 years ago now well before I got into hosting. If you want to stay with them you should contact them and see if they can do something cheaper for you on a dedicated. Otherwise they have a VPS brand 1TBVPS that you could use, they have a discount for it on WHT here. They always have my respect.
Otherwise what are the resources you need? If you want something in Dallas and my plans/prices are not suitable and you're interested PM me what you need and I'm sure I could do something.
@PulsedMedia
Would you store the audio locally? How much storage do you need?
Check out our VDS plans: https://oplink.net/amd-epyc-vds

Any of the big providers like OVH or Hetzner could work.
Hi @shileno
Check out our vps: https://scaleblade.com/products/vps
I think this might be in line with what you're looking for in terms of network capacity and uptime. I'd be happy to get you a 20% off monthly plans code, just shoot me a message on LET here.
All vms on water cooled 5950X's with plenty of capacity left so no need to worry about performance
I have to second @MikeA. Big fan of funkywizard from many many years ago before Microsoft bought Skype. A lot of respect for IOFlood. I'd reach out to them if you've been happy and see if they can craft something for you.
If you're looking to change to a geo that they don't offer, always happy to throw my hat in the ring for Washington State or Pennsylvania.
As additional information, all my clients are from Chile (I have tried local services before, but the relatively affordable ones do not offer good stability, and international connectivity is very limited).
In terms of storage, I only use around 45GB currently, as most of my clients only broadcast live.
Hi,
with this budget you have actually plenty of options.
If europe would be an option for you, we could offer you in france or germany either a VPS or a VDS ( virtual server with dedicated resources in terms of CPU usage ).

I also echo what @MikeA said. I highly recommend you stick with IOFlood if you've been otherwise happy with their service. I'm sure they'd be happy to work with you on their VPS brand. Similarly, we have utilized IOFlood for years and still work with them to this day.
