@nreece suggested our StorageVPS. Delimiter's storage VPS are HDD based but NVMe accelerated. We run ZFS with the ZIL/Cache on the NVMe. The storage performance is great, but CPU isn't overly generous. They are optimised to get data to/from disk.
I would recommend you look at our Cloud Compute product. Its based on Cloudstack, highly distributed Ceph backend - HDD with NVMe fronting the disks. It uses Cloudstack's advanced networking so you have a router/firewall by default as well as internal networking should you want to have more than just the DB locally.
A 1TB Ceph disk with 1GB RAM, 1 CPU will cost you $20.40/month
I am not sure what DB you are running but even if boost that up to 4GB RAM, 2 CPUs, 1TB Disk that is $34.62/month
Dedicated cores on the CPUs, 10Gbps uplink. We have a variety of customers running MongoDB clusters, MySQL/MariaDB, Couchbase and so on. Internal networks lets you keep the cluster network private. Just punch through the firewall for the ports you need publicly accessible or even limit the source address to stop non-authorised users.
If you want to give it a test, then just mail me on sales@delimiter.com and I'll get you a 30 day trial.

Another option could be a cheap dedicated - we have some Dual E5420, 16GB RAM, 1TB Disk or 2 x 500GB for $200/year
Thanks for the response, but the spec is half of what you listed. you linked me to a 2.5ghz, 8core, 16GB machine. No obvious private network options, so pricing is pretty much middle of the road. Although the slot option is cool.
Thanks for the recommendation, slot hosting is a good solution if you need to get a disk online with a VPS attached to it.
We've had a lot of people asking how you did this so just to explain:
Slot hosting $120/year ($10/month) - that gives you one 3.5" or 2.5" slot to send your disk in. You can aggregate up multiple slots and aggregate the VPS resources into one large VM. This is great for things like ZFS and software RAID. The VM is KVM based. https://www.delimiter.com/slot-hosting/
Slot hosting uses dedicated (non-contended) CPU/RAM/Disk resources so you can run Plex directly on it if you have enough slots aggregated to give you the RAM.
Why annual pricing? I'd do it if you had monthly pricing.....Since the payment is annual what happens if 2 or 3 months in I decide to change and need something else?
Slot hosting moved to annual only as administering a customer-owned equipment adds an additional layer of headache.
Its not cost effective to have customers who want to load up on 'warez' cancelling their service, shipping back their disk to get it back the next week empty for another round.
We're positioning this as a long-term storage product where customers don't want to be paying the hosting company each month for disks.
Can I buy slots and use them from your Cloud Resource Pools, (e.g. for $10/mo on top of the $6/mo for the Pool)? That's an interesting configuration...
