Hi everyone. I’m at the stage where my projects have grown enough to expose weaknesses in my current VPS setup. I run several websites, plus a media archive with images, videos, and design files. On top of that, I keep daily and weekly backups, so storage usage grows constantly. The problem is that most VPS plans I see focus on CPU and RAM, while disk space feels like an afterthought.
I don’t really need more computing power, but I do need reliable storage, stable performance, and the ability to scale without paying for things I won’t use. I’ve already been burned by a provider that advertised “unlimited” storage and then started throttling I/O.
How do you approach VPS storage for backups and media? Is a storage-focused VPS actually a thing, or is it just marketing? I’d really like to hear real experiences before moving everything again.
