| 3,45 Euros for a 1TB of storage is incredible value, even cheaper

|
| Here's the relevant bits on the website:
|
| Storage box: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box
|
| Storage share: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share
|
| They're even cheaper than the local VPS provider that i
| currently use for most of my hosting, which also had a storage
| offering: https://www.time4vps.com/storage-vps/ (no affiliate
| link because they're losing out at this point)
|
| Not only that, but Hetzner's VPSes (adjacent to their storage
| offerings) are billed based on the time used (no monthly
| commitments; just like Scaleway and many other modern hosts
| allow you the flexibility to spin something up for an hour if
| need be) and also have somehow managed to keep their prices low
| enough to beat almost all of the platforms that i know of out
| there for similar specs: DigitalOcean, Vultr, Scaleway, not
| even talking about the giants like Azure, AWS or GCP.
|
| So, anyone know of other products that can compete with what
| they're offering?
|
| One of the other cheap ones that i can think of is Contabo:
| https://contabo.com/en/storage-vps/ But Hetzner still seems
| better in comparison, apart from Contabo's VPS deals which blow
| everything else out of the water specs wise. Note: Contabo's UI
| is antiquated, there are setup fees and some have complained
| about the real world performance being underwhelming, possibly
| due to overselling.
|
| For longer term storage, AWS Glacier also didn't seem half bad,
| though that's not an apples to apples comparison due to a
| different use case:
| https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/?nc=sn&loc=4
|
| Either way, it's nice that there are options like that out
| there, allowing people to have off site backups on the cheap,
| or even just host their own VPSes and whatnot for affordable
| prices.

| Thanks for the infos. Are Storage-Boxes fully enabled
| Nextcloud instances with the known web ui?

| Their support is great and their services are damn good as well.
|
| My work place have been on the previous storage box BX40 for 2TBs
| of off-site storage for 4 years. This announced update to the
| service, shows that BX21 service has just upgraded our offsite
| backup to 5TBs and no difference to the monthly price we already
| pay!

| This looks very compelling.

| Have there been any updates from Cloudflare about when they
| expect R2 to reach GA?

| Why no S3-compatible interface?
