I just had a power spike and it fried my inverter (which is supposed to protect equipment), NAS, all the drives smell wonky and all data is lost.....

Luckily i had an off-site backup.

Any suggestion on good reliable online storage?

I want to use it as a backup solution, as well as sharing content over out internal home network. I would also like to sync all pc's with the online storage.

Kimsufi.com - 4.99EU server - roll your own backup via RSYNC or bacula or whatever you like. For cloud use OwnCloud.

I don't like handing my data off to 3rd parties.
 
I think one first needs to address the upload speed problem....
 
Forgot to mention, I use Google Drive. Only really documents and stuff I need quick access to is stored on it though
 
I use one drive as my office 365 subscription gives me 1TB a year. So all our files are automatically backed up

and at R699 per year for office for 5 pc's. It is well worth it in my opinion
 
Get Office 375 with 1TB for 5 users.

If 1TB doesn't do it for you, dump the rest on each of the other 4 users.

R800 a year or so.

Err, that's exactly what I said above
 
My bad. Missed it unfortunately.

But now the OP has two votes for it at least.

Thanks for the post. Think I managed to bag one of these servers finally today (been going back to the site every hour to find any available servers), have my order number now just need to validate and pay. Hope everything works out.

Core i5 750, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD for 15 Euro a month. Crazy!

Going to put Proxmox on the there and see if I can set up a Plex server (amongst other things).

How many public ipv4 ips do you get with that though?

You'll have to NAT for Proxmox as Kimsufi (OVH) only give 1 IP.

If you want more IP's for virtualisation then I suggest checking out online.net (OVH's competition) or Hetzner server auctions (https://robot.your-server.de/order/market/country/en)

Remember that we don't pay VAT on the costs either as we aren't in the EU. So you can take their ex VAT price as your final price.

NAT is fine, thanks for the tip.

Ex VAT is even better! :D
