I used to rock a bare metal 1Tib HDD server for 17€/month, that I used as an NFS server for all my other servers which needed storage space.
First of all, NFS kinda sucks and I’m looking for alternative solution that I can use on OpenBSD to mount remote volumes.
Secondly, I’m planning to move this server to hetzner (my current provider), but they lack affordable storage (it’s 50€/month for 1Tib). Do you know an hosting provider which would provide high volumes for not so expensive prices ?
Time4vps will get you a full vps with a 1tb disk for ~50 euro/year. (Or ~ 5€/month if billed monthly)
I’ve had a couple of those for years, they’re ok but don’t expect stellar performance from the vps itself.
That’s cheap indeed. Is it possible to install a different OS than those listed on their website ?
Nope, the options I get are: AlmaLinux 8, CentOS 7, Debian 10-11, Ubuntu 14.04 - 22.04.
