Veeble | Webdock | Milesweb | Cloudfanatic | Time4vps | Hetzner | Vpsdime | Zap-hosting I’m looking for cheap VPS options. I’m trying to run Syncthing, a caldev server and maybe a searXng instance as well. Also what would be the catch with cheap VPS providers?

Purely for storage, no processing? I just finally got around to checking pricing and went with Backblaze B2. Not certain it’s the best, or cheapest, but I’m serving files out of it through cloudflare and it seemed to be a decent choice.

I had B2 a few years ago and it wasn’t that cheap, even though everyone raved about it. I moved to synology’s c2 backup, which is like a dollar fifty more a month but is well-integrated with their nas OS. But I’m up against the 1TB limit and to get more I’d have to get another TB. I thought Hetzner was the solution for this with their storage box but now I’m worried. And price-wise, 5TB of Hetzner is about the same of 2TB with synology c2… blah.
