Ive bin using oneprovider (Frans /Amsterdam) for a while now. They somtimes got some decent dedi server for like any where between 10/16 euros a month (1tb HD. 4gig ram is usely like 10to12 euro month . Kinda depends on what you want. But they are nice servers space wise.
What do you need it for? Using just HDD this server will be kinda slow. If this is just about storage, I'd recommend getting a good VPS from Hetzner, Netcup or php-friends and extend storage using a Hetzner Storage Box. 1TB for just 3,xx EUR or 5TB for around 12 EUR.
As a benefit you'll not have to deal with failing drives and you do easy backups using snapshots.
I would recommend storing pict-rs images and db backups on B2, ~~much cheaper at~~ only $5/TB.
Pict-rs has configuration options for using B2, and you cna use a script or a Kubernetes operator to automate backups to B2.
Edit: nvm, it appears that storage boxes are cheaper. Not sure how they're managing to do that.
