If redundancy isn't needed you get 10TB for 47,48€ with 20TB free traffic with the biggest hetzner storage box The smaller boxes have a higher cost per GB but a way higher traffic ratio. https://www.hetzner.de/hosting/produktmatrix/storagebox-produktmatrix In the US it is even cheaper: https://www.hetzner.de/us/hosting/produktmatrix/storagebox-produktmatrix Click the flag in the header to choose from different countries. It can live with that as an archive host (and a NAS in another building; internal, 1Gb bandwidth). And we get a monthly bill. That is easier for me at a university than with most cloud vendors -- until recently amazon needed a credit card and I've no interest to pay a middleman. Serverbidding (without setup costs, no minimum contract period) is also more attractive for our workloads than most cloud instances as we keep the hosts for at least a month and traffic is practically free. I've yet to see a financially comparable offer by a cloud vendor. For our use cases (NAS, on demand instances) Amazon is 3-4 times more expensive as soon as traffic between them and our site comes into play. Avoiding that would mean going cloud only -- no, thanks.
