Cloudflare R2 has free egress, cheap storage

And they just added TCP client sockets in Workers. We are just one step step away from being able to serve literally anything on their amazing platform (listener sockets).

Does this mean you can self host ngrok?

That’s not even saturating a Gb/s line. Many places offer dedicated with that kind of bandwidth.

Wasabi.com is usually a good bet when your primary cost is bandwidth.

Their pricing was good enough that I just stored a spacer file with them to qualify for higher bandwidth transfer.

Depends on what exactly you want to do with it. Hetzner has very cheap Storage boxes (10TB for $20/month with unlimited traffic) but those are closer to FTP boxes with a 10 connection limit. They are also down semi-regularly for maintenance.

For rock-solid public hosting Cloudflare is probably a much better bet, but you're also paying 7 times the price. More than a dedicated server to host the files, but you get more on other metrics.

Hetzner auctions have a 4x 6TB server for €39.70/mo.

Throw that in RAID10 and you'll have 12TB usable space with > 300TB bandwidth.

Cloudflare has free bandwidth up to a point and then they will charge you. That’s not really that surprising though.

I think that's the case with their free CDN/DNS/proxy offering, not R2.

I would also like to ask everyone about suggestions for deep storage of personal data, media etc. 10TB with no need for access unless in case of emergency data loss. I'm currently using S3 intelligent tiering.
