Need a cheap vps with 1Tb storage

Apparently the hard drive on my backup server is failing... so this is the perfect opportunity to change to a vps instead.
I don't need much, it's only a backup of all data, it will all be encrypted and the service uses very little cpu, memory and bandwidth. I do need 1Tb of storage though...
So, what is there in the very cheap range that has 1Tb of storage?

Can't go wrong with HostBrr StorageBox (non-aff).
I have the 500GB one and it's great for your use case.
If you're good with IPv6, @SmokyHosts also has some great offers.
didnt they have terrible disk or network performance in the past though?
Yup 100% correct but based on what OP has written the service is ideal for storing encrypted semi-cold data. Disk performance has improved for me though it still seems sluggish for Nextcloud but ok if you access via mount.
ok but remember to always backup your data.
Well... "terrible disk and network performance" is not something you like to hear, but you are right, for my use it's probably fine. This will be my secondary backup server. My primary is and always will be local.
However, HostBrr appears to be storage only, I really need a full vps, I need to install some services, or am I missing something here?
SmokyHosts seems ok for me, even if a bit pricy for what I wanted. But I'll check it a bit more, thanks for the tip
EDIT: actually... they have a 3-year plan that is a much better price... I might really really go with them

You can go for Interserver 1TB for around 2.4$/month, and free 2 next month. So 3 first months will come around 2.4$ and 2.4$/month afterward.
