If you don't mind a sketchy company Volume Drive has great prices, just horrible service.
> sketchy company Understatement of the year. For those who are out of the loop, webhostingtalk.com has some great reads. Get some popcorn.
A 500GB SSD is $50/month which seems fairly reasonable. You can use it directly with a cheap VPS from them as well.
Self-hosting would be your best option if your bandwidth needs are modest. Your data is 'small' enough to fit on a local drive.

Please keep in mind that Amazon is running a variant of content-id and may mistakenly think that your files are infringing someones rights: https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/4j7wex/any_plex_users... https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/4j5fsi/after_s...
As I mentioned in another comment, you can avoid all that by using encfs, which encrypts the files before they ever reach amazon. Edit: Just read the first reddit post. I call BS on anyone using encfs consistently and receiving a legitimate email from Amazon. Unless they've broken strong encryption, there's just no way.
Kimsufi's problem is the lack of redundancy, if the single drive on a box dies then you're not going to see your data again. However, given the low price you could rent them in pairs and replicate the data using something like DRBD. Depending on your comfort level, this can be a very viable and cost effective option, or a system administration nightmare. If it's the latter, then definitely look into an object storage…
I'd be worried with this drive 2 is sitting 30cm from drive 1 so if something physical happened at the site itself your data is gone vs multi site coverage.
Running multiple dockerized applications on a dedicated host is a good way to save on running costs until things pick up speed.

The primary difference being that kimsufi has basically no support, you're wholly responsible for whatever OS you're running on the box. The only support is 'wipe and start over'. If you're confident and OK with that it's a lower cost option.
To be honest, that's also the same support level as the higher plans like SoYouStart and OVH. They don't manage or administrate your servers for you. You need knowledge. The good news is: it doesn't take much to be able to manage everything on your own.
Good for a specific use, but as the low price implies, there is no option to scale in future.
