Why is storage so expensive? I pay $20/month for a quasi-VPS/shared plan with unlimited storage -- I'm using at least 150 GB, 3 GB of RAM and 3.5 TB of bandwidth. Getting to > 300 GB of storage, which is what I'd need to future-proof things, results in pretty crazy prices (for a site like the one I'm hosting). Given how much storage costs have cratered, this confuses me.
I'm not prepared to quadruple or quintuple my current yearly budget for hosting, I'd like to not spend more than $50/month.
