Yep, resellers of dedicated machines rent servers in bulk so you can often get boxes for way cheaper than you would directly from the host. Take a look at https://hostingby.design as an example.
I've been using a HostingBy.Design seedbox (formerly Seedbox.io) for years to distribute content to my patrons for 3 years. They have excellent uptime and their customer service is knowledgeable.

Thanks for finding this. Unlimited rarely is. Looks like backblaze (other post below) has a free bandwidth and cheap storage solution
Backblaze B2 is only free with Bandwidth Alliance partners, otherwise $0.01/GB, individual transactions will also cost you, depending on how much you use.
Bandwidth Alliance introduced me to bunny.net, interesting find.

Been looking at hetzner for their arm cloud offering. But I can’t figure out if instances upgraded or do you need to terminate and rebuild. support seems non existent cos no one answers emails or web chat…
You can rescale cloud servers at hetzner, but you will need to shutdown the server in the process
Thank you!

FYI, video files (and potentially anything not text/HTML) is prohibited through Cloudlare in their TOS (some services like r2 excluded)
They have updated their TOS a few days ago: https://blog.cloudflare.com/updated-tos/ The prohibition on non-HTML content seems to only apply to CDN usage now.
Most of their storage servers have 1gbps unmetered public bandwidth options and that should be sufficient to serve ~4TB per day, reliably.

> even if you factor in the cost of your time you should come out ahead There is always the hidden cost of not spending time on activities that are core to your business (if this is indeed for a business) that would make multiples of the money CF costs you.
There is more and more that can be done like proxmox to help make self hosted as much as an appliance as anything else.

That, and also NixOS - I’m discovering it for myself now, and it’s been a revelation! Configuring absolutely everything declaratively from scratch, even the disk partitions - a dream for reproducibility. It even has configurable “micro-VMs”, which would not be as easy to do via Proxmox (not counting LXC), since they would have to be built manually. Though Proxmox does have some nice benefits over it as well, especial…
I have been playing more and more with UTM in the Mac world and it's encouraging how mature it seems already and hopefully can be picked up into NixOS, Sandstorm, etc.
I like proxmox more personally, however have changed my stance recently where nix and sandstorm could just be run in a proxmox vm and then provide more of an IaaS role. The newer versions of ProxMox are even easier and they were pretty OK the past 5-7 years.
