From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've got one with HostHatch that's 10TB of space for $10/month. It was an offer they had during Black Friday 2020. They had a similar offer during Black Friday 2023 but I think it was around $20/month, paid yearly.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and my storage server is in Los Angeles, which is around 10ms round-trip ping time from my home internet connection.
Hetzner is good too. They have relatively cheap "storage boxes" that are a shared environment rather than a VPS. You don't get proper SSH access, but they do support FTPS, SFTP, Samba, Borgbackup, Restic, rclone, rsync and WebDAV. https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box
Borgbackup encrypts the backups, so the host won't be able to actually view your backups.
