Looks like a great deal! $1.04/TB is unheard of. I can't find anything even closer to that, tho -- best I could find was 50TB at $180/mo, and metered 10TB@10Gbps, and it's out of stock:
Good point. As it's a dedicated server and possibly with enterprise drives and being used just as a remote backup (following the standard practice of 2 local backups plus a remote one), I would say just configuring these disks in a raidz1 pool should be enough (and then there would be 110TB of net available storage).
Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately their equivalent 12*10TB setup costs quite a bit more at $169/mo, and is "not available" to order... :-/
Not sure if this is helpful to you or not but kdrive from infomaniak.com is USD$1.20 per TB if you get the 6TB plan.
EDIT: Apologies I just looked at their site again and I was wrong, they have a 3 users minimum and the price is per user. However they do still have a couple of decent options:
$5.98/mo for 3TB or ~$2/TB if you pay yearly its ~$1.80/TB if you pay 3 years is ~$1.60/TB
Just did a couple speedtests to TX on 10Gbps:
1 thread 650Mbps
10 threads 6000Mbps
Sorry I have been away for a bit. I got this special rate because I posted on a website hosting forum somewhere how it is hard to find just BARE storage for my budget. So, I got a message from a user on that forum saying he was the owner of crunchbits, and that he could offer me 120TB of space on a bare metal ( self administrated, they do not configure your server for you at all, so setting it up, keeping people out of your server, securing it etc, are all YOUR responsibility. I learned that quickly when I left the default ssh port @ 22, and 2 days later my Linux image was damaged/corrupt. I was running no firewall...I was a Linux newb ), after reading lots and LOTS of documents on Ubuntu, I have a fairly secure storage now.... best part, I was suppose to get a 1gb unmetered bandwidth...well, lets just say, I can download at close to 10gbps
I actually asked them, if I could get another server, with the same specs for the same price. They said I could, they would add it to my account, I would have to pay it first, then they have to build it. So, it is possible to get another server at the same price and sub-lease it out at cost to someone. If I keep asking for more servers, I think they will figure out what I am doing though...
Starting as early as July 7, 2025*, your Google Workspace Enterprise Standard subscription price will be automatically updated to $27.00** per user, per month with an Annual/Fixed-Term Plan (or $32.40if you have a monthly Flexible Plan).
*The specific date that your subscription price will increase depends on your plan type, number of user licenses, and other factors.
The mfing mofos! It's like the 10th price increase in 3 years. And started at $5 8 years ago. If I wasnt robing them blind with my allocation I would be leaving!
No they weren't.
The old plans are still valid in the old pricing scheme.
But those contracts are not that easily transferable.
By changing the contractee, the other side has the right to step out of the contract, which they most likely will do when they see that payments come from somewhere else.
But of course you could ask them simply - or you could even ask for the old plan directly by mail.
By my experience their support is pretty friendly.
Hi, I had a plan with the old pricing and it expired. I didn't see the notification for a few days and they just removed me. when I tried to re-subscribe, they only offered me the new pricing. Is there any way to get the old pricing back?
Hey there welcome in this board.
Just to clarify: I am not the uloz-support
But listen, you are all pretty clever people right?
When you see uloz interface and pricing you see that they limit outgoing traffic.
In Europe incoming traffic is often free for datacenters but outgoing has to be paid. I personally use uloz as cheap offsite backup.
I basically never pull data from there. And for that it is close to perfect, especially since i am not far away physically from this DC and my provider is paying peering there.
If you are outside of Europe you wonât have good experience with Uloz.
Because uloz has to pay so that their customers from US for example have good connection to them. And thatâs very expensive, especially the transatlantic lines are congested and the providers take premiums for premium traffic. But there is also ways around this, you could try to rent a vserver at hetzner or OVH, and maybe your providers from oversea have some peering-deal with hetzner or ovh DCs in europe, and you can chain this up to get faster connection to uloz. I don't know i haven't tried.
But you can always write/call to people and make negotiations.
This is not prohibited.
Nowhere.
You can also negotiate with you barber or car mechanic.
If you tell them that you donât use this space as seedbox backend or other shennanigans and only for backups without much outgoing traffic you might get a positive answer back.
It also really depends on your personal social skills ^^
But honestly, and i have to jump here into the boat of the service provider, this is the same as above with the guy who wants to change the contractee (âbuy a contractâ).
If you miss your payment you will be released from a contract.
This is fully normal.
When you have rent contract and they remove you because you did not pay regularly, you cannot expect the landlord to accept you again and especially not under the same contractual circumstances.
Trying to pull a payment from credit card which comes back unsuccessfully costs money.
When you miss your payments you make the contract invalid and you make costs (and often also worries) for your contract partner, because they also have business partners they have regularly to pay.
Unfortunately this is fully your fault.
People have businesses that go broke because entrepreneurs forget upkeep payments.
Thatâs life. Next time you have to make an alarm or calendar if this is something really important for you (or if your business depends on it).
