Where have you had success with hosting outside the usual aws/gap/etc? It seems like digital ocean has a bit cheaper bandwidth, but curious if you have a better recommendation!

Anywhere you rent bare metal. Cloud hosting providers always had the worst bandwidth prices, I'm not joking.

Buy a server or 10, host in equinix, buy bulk bandwidth. Amortize cost.
My preferred server provider would set you up with a linux machine with SSD with 20TB of transfer on a gigabit port for $130/month and another 100TB on a gigabit port for $79/month

DataPacket has a lot of locations globally (compared to Hetzner), though you're going to need to spend more than a few dollars to get started.
Not only to get started. What costs me €20 on hetzner costs me $800 on DataPacket.
That’s quite a difference.

Right, it's not a 'side project' type of vendor, more of an Imgur scale vendor. I love Hetzner, I just wish they had more locations than Germany and Finland, which are practically the same in terms of latency if you/your users are from Asia or the Americas.

Hetzner or OVH.
