looking for a VPS with good specs for it's price, at the same time it should be as safe as possible, I don't want whoever's running it to have access to my files

the main thing I need is storage, like 300-400 gb of storage would be perfect, idk how much that'd cost tho

what do you guys suggest?

thanks in advance

I can't understand why KYC is needed.

I'm guessing they want to cover their butt in case their server is used for something illicit. But even in searching for something as locked down as, say, a Minecraft server, I ran into the same issue.

It's strange, because generally you can use a fake identity and a masked card to purchase.. just about anything, really.
