Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : VPS Hosting : Where can i get a storage VPS (not just for backups)?

[J Gwynne PC Repair]

Hi all,

I'd like a Storage VPS 128mb ram 128mb burst would be fine... disk space the more the better and matching on the bandwidth.

this thing will just be used to dump files on (not neccessarily all backups, but copies of program's etc for safe keeping/ Legal sharing)

i've looked around buyvm does storage vps's(doesn't have any stock) i have a backup vps from secure dragon (but that can only be used for backups.... no good)

there must be someone somewhere that offers vps's with loads of storage and smaller amounts of ram?


thanks for anyone's help

What kind of space, Joe? Also, do you have a preferred location?

Your main issue will most likely be bandwidth as opposed to space.

Location isn't important

what is important is i can dump a load of stuff one it really quickly (most likely server to server) and not get shutdown because i'm not using it for backups (which is why i haven't even attempted it on my securedragon vps i can't have it being terminated)

disk space say 50GB-100GB

bandwidth double-triple the disk space? 150-300GB?

thanks

They should be pretty easy to find

Are you dumping data from other VPS's on to it? You could ask your current provider(s) if they can accommodate that kind of request.

i have a dedi that's virtualised (proxmox) and i have a remote desktop on it (centos), i also have some files on a windows server (with cygwin) and i'd like to rsync some files over for safe keeping/sharing.

thanks

I'm a bit confused. By "dump a load of stuff on it really quickly" do you mean moving webservers over or files? If you mean the later then that should be allowed by any backup provider. A backup isn't determined by the length of time data is kept for.

no i don't want to move webservers the web server is fine where it is.

i want something i can install nagios nrpe on (to monitor usage) setup rsync, ftp possibly samba (maybe not) and stick stuff on it

by really quickly i mean quick enough, for example the 1gbps connected backup vps i have with you is quick (but i think 100mbps would be enough).

thanks

Can't you just ask a sales department for a custom quote? "I need ____ mb of RAM, ____ gb of disk space and _____ of bandwidth". You can either get a custom package to fit your needs or try to fit into a package "box" that may or may not suite your needs.

this is request for www.lvpshosting.com and their promo for bigger disk space . And i am sure that if you ask them they will make you VPS according to your needs and of course pay less than you expect.

vps.net allows you to add storage to your VPS/Cloud Server.
