looking for a VPS with good specs for it's price, at the same time it should be as safe as possible, I don't want whoever's running it to have access to my files

the main thing I need is storage, like 300-400 gb of storage would be perfect, idk how much that'd cost tho

what do you guys suggest?

thanks in advance

As mozz said, DigitalOcean is a good company, but looking for that much storage you would be spending upwards of $100/mo.

And if you are running anything illegal, you will likely have your instance investigated and have your ssh keys and password overwritten by whoever is hosting it.

If you are looking for something that is as private as possible, you would be looking for a bulletproof host, which will cost significantly more.

Assuming you aren't looking to run anything illegal, I also provide hosting, and you can reach out to me if interested.

A 500GB storage volume on Digitalocean is $50/mo

I actually haven't used their storage volumes, my bad for not actually looking at that pricing.
