@NetDynamics24 @GorillaServers are your best bet for US.
Isn't some S3 storage billed hourly better than any VPS for this?
Bandwidth is expensive for S3
@labze might perhaps be able to give you some special deal on a short term DA?
Didn't consider S3 personally, I'd say housing 18TB for 24 hours + ingress/outgress fees would kill my wallet!
GorillaServers only 1Gbit unfortunately
no problem. your needs will be fully satisfied once the funding is in place .
I do not understand this comment.
definitely a bot.
Cloudflare R2 has free ingress/egress. And decent amount of free requests. It would probably be around $10 which is way cheaper than any monthly VPS with 18TB
R2 charges for read/write requests though, so it could be expensive depending on the type of data it is.
Honestly no cheap way to get 18TB of storage on a 10G port for a short amount of time. Best bet is trying to find one of the huge hourly bare metal providers but even though storage probably will be a problem.
"And decent amount of free requests"
Depending on his files he might not pay a cent in request fees unless he does millions of requests. He should do a little research and make sure himself. I've moved files with R2 before and my requests were covered with the free tier.

Whose a huge hourly bare metal provider nowadays?
I don't think there will be anyone who can do hourly 18tb storage servers with 10G.
This may be your best option. It is way over the amount of storage you are asking but it gets you the 10G that you requested. Price is crazy for the amount of bandwidth and storage.
Storage Deal (Limited Quantity)
$141.79/mo

Right.. I guess now days there are none really. All of the ones I checked are small systems with only NVMe. The only option I found is Scaleway's EM-I525E-NVMe which totals like 26TB NVMe in RAID-0 but that's $2.10/hour, at 2Gbps that would take like 40 hours or $80+..
RIP!
I potentially could look into Onidel or HostHatch and see if they can stack storage vms into 1… monthly payments which I’m OK with for saving my data LOL
It is definitely a lot of storage.
Since you said US, it is a little harder and not as easy as EU with providers like Hetzner/Leaseweb just casually have large storage servers laying around lol.
1gservers is also in Phoenix, AZ so it should be pretty good depending on where you are located in US.
That's the exact storage server I have my data on at the moment haha!
hmmm buy a second one and have them private network it together?
I’d like the avoid 141usd purchase if absolutely possible LOL
Mega.io is the budget option. ~$35 per month for 20 TB. Supports object storage and other means of cloud storage for backups. Has Canada location, but upload speeds aren't 10G. Not an endorsement, not a client. The biggest issue is how long the backup will take, no so much the reliability, as objects are replicated across multiple regions.
BulkVM has a 15 TB HDD storage VPS in Phoenix. 2.5G/5G/10G bandwidth $30/$40/$45. Not an endorsement, not a client. The biggest question is how reliable is the storage. It'd be unfortunate to lose the backups while rebuilding.
Personally, I'd use cheap object storage in Europe (Euronodes 4€/TB/month. Not an endorsement, not a client) and massive parallelism to fill the 10G pipe. This should guard against data loss and result in reasonable backup times.
EDIT: iDrive e2 object storage is $5/TB/month and they have multiple US location. Not an endorsement, not a client. They also have a $20 for 20 TB backup plan, but it requires you use their Linux client. Given the exchange rate, this is probably the easiest and fastest option, and roughly equal to Euronodes in price.
We have 10 gbps servers. Please contact us.
This is three times less, but 1Gbps:
You can also buy the smallest Chimera to have 18 TB total.
/ should you be ordering, disable VPN first /
Another option is Mega, but unsure how they would react to putting 18 TB right after the registration. Check all the plan details and bandwidth limits.
You can buy dedi with large storage from OVH.
OVH US west would be good but that setup fee is awful. Ideally you would want a server close to Phoenix since your data is there. If you go for servarica or EU then it will be something trying to transfer 16tb across North America etc
I think an external 18TB drive (or two, if you're paranoid) is a better idea, personally.
lol
Only if I could
BulkVM is EXACTLY what I wanted thank you so much for this recommendation.
