I’d give Hetzner a try. The VPS they offer come with 20TB of bandwidth and they only count outgoing traffic(bottom of this page is the source -> https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/general/traffic/) One thing to note with Hetzner VPS is the port speed is not guaranteed to be 1G only on their dedicated servers is 1G guaranteed. In my experience with their VPS I always got over 500M so is wasn’t an issue. I’ve since moved to a dedicated server in Finland for the horse power and the flexibility of running my own VM platform(Proxmox)

There’s also Netcup but I’ve never used them so can’t speak to quality but I’ve heard good things about them.

Edit: totally forgot to mention BuyVM. I have one of their 1GB VPS in Luxembourg. Speed is good to Finland but not so great to Canada but that’s not their fault. More to do with latency which is to be expected given the distance.

Hetzner or Netcup

I like Hetzners bandwidth limit of 20TB outbound and the per minute billing. The specs on their VPS are also decent in my mind.

Note that Hetzner can be a bit of a pain to open an account. They’re picky about verifying identity.

I use Porkbun as my registrar. Excellent support and low prices.

Porkbun for registrar and desec.io for DNS

Use ddclient for dynamic DNS updating

I use mailrise which is apprise under the hood for anything that doesn’t have Pushover support built into it. Mailrise converts any email it receives to a push message. It supports a ton of different services like Pushover.

I’ve been using it for a few months now and love it. I have it on 2 VMs. 1 at home and 1 on my dedicated server in the cloud.

I have a horribly written script that stops the vaultwarden container on the home VM, it copies the db.sqlite3 files to the VM in the cloud using SCP, copies everything inside the attachments folder using SCP and then starts the container again. I then have the same type of script on the cloud VM that stops the container, grabs the db and attachments from the temp folder and moves them to the correct directories and starts the container.

I only use the instance on the VM at home, the cloud VM is only used if something has happened to the VM at home. I do the same with my netbox instance.

I also don’t expose anything to the internet. Everything is behind WireGuard. I have my phone setup with Tasker to automatically connect the tunnel when my phone disconnects from my home WiFi SSID.

First they’d need a reason which they won’t find or have.

Secondly in my 20+ years working in IT and using the internet I’ve never once heard that statement about it being “generally advisable to avoid using friends and family for offsite storage”. Needed a good laugh. Thanks.

I have a 2 x 8TB in RAID1 NAS at a family members house and I also have an OVH dedicated server with 2 x 480GB in RAID1 and 2 x 8TB in RAID1. I use rclone for my backups and keep deleted files for 30 days on the NAS and 120 days on the OVH dedicated server. Both the NAS and server connect back to my home network using WireGuard.

The OVH dedicated server also runs numerous virtual machines that host websites as well as backups of my netbox and mediawiki instance I run at home(they sync nightly).
