I saw the storage plans, but question whether I would be able to use them as a regular VPS as well?
Where is the concern?

Even so, the Server4You plan at the $22 ($20 on Vultur) tier, I can get 600GB storage (300GB if I want SSD), in addition to plenty of RAM, etc.
One thing that has become apparent (not because of this thread, just in general) is that depending on your mix of needs around CPU, memory and storage you can find yourself with totally different providers (until you get to the high end space where the services are extremely granular to prevent that from happening.)

I guess the label that they are for storage. While that would be my primary use-case -- would I be able to SSH in and compile software, etc, as with a regular VPS?

This is true . There are a lot of players in the game these days and some don't do well...(I won't mention any names, lol)... and some seem to do rather Well (DO, Vultr, etc).

Just means that it is balanced with lots of disks and very little CPU and RAM compared to the other solutions that they have which are heavy the other way. It's nothing but the balance of what you see on the screen. They are general purpose VMs in every way.
Vultr Storage is where we run production ownCloud.

This is good to know! Thanks for the heads up on that.

@dafyre Definitely let me know if you try server4you. Would be nice to get direct feedback.

I think I got $30 bucks to burn for a month. I'll see how they go.

Cool, do a review!

Should I do it here or start a new thread?
