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

    For those posting suggestions, do the providers also require KYC at some point?

    I know for a fact that Vultr, Digitalocean, and Namecheap (and a few others people have mentioned to me before) will need your identity at time of purchase.

    I can understand why verifying a customer’s identity is important to these providers, but at the same time, I’m mostly worried that they will be the victims of some data breach in the future.

        I’m guessing they want to cover their butt in case their server is used for something illicit. But even in searching for something as locked down as, say, a Minecraft server, I ran into the same issue.

        It’s strange, because generally you can use a fake identity and a masked card to purchase… just about anything, really.

      I know that DO does require KYC, not sure about Vultr.

      Namecheap does not. I have a VPS with them, paid via crypto, and they don’t have any real details about me.
