#23If you can tolerate risk of data loss, VPS or even physical hosts are likely to be far cheaper than any cloud. Look at OVH, Hetzner, Linode, DigitalOcean.
DigitalOcean Spaces has the same API as AWS S3, and the download bandwidth costs a lot less. I would recommend it

#24s3 may be cheaper than you think. If you're willing to tolerate hr+ delays in accessing your data aws glacier deep archive is 70cents per terabyte month. that's pretty awesome in my book. If you need to access the data in under an hr it comes out around $2 per TB/mo
Whoa! That's nothing!
Is there an easy way for a consumer to use this for backup?

#25Depending on your needs, you can rent a dedicated server with hard drives. For example, Hetzner has an offering of 10x 10TB HDDs for $200/month or so. Disclaimer: I have never used Hetzner's services nor can I vouch for them.
As you said: Depending on needs
S3 is not a single host solution and will neither get unavailable nor will lose data if one particular host (or even the datacenter it is in) becomes unavailable. If you don’t need those properties then building your own hosts might be cheaper.

#26Why don't you try Usenet? Unlimited storage for $3.14/month[1].
There are a couple of Python libraries out there for posting and fetching, but it'll definitely be shabbier than a purpose-built service. However, for seriously large storage requirements, you can't beat that price.
I have a full PC backup I did 5 years ago drifting around on Usenet somewhere. It was still there when I checked a year ago.

Linode, Pair and Rackspace are established players in this field. (Pair.com is the oldest I know of).

According to Wikipédia, OVH is the third largest hosting company in the world based on physical services and the largest hosting company in Europe. They are not a fly by night operation.
And IMHO Hetzner is by far the best service provider there is for bare metal and plain old VM services.
