Feds, Please Return My Personal Files Stored at MegaUpload

While I agree that you should encourage proper business, I don't think that Mediafire is a good solution for the mentioned purpose. They take $9/month for 4 GB storage, and $49/month for 10 GB storage. That's really expensive!

For $10/month you can easily get a VServer with 20 GB disk space or more. For $50/month you can rent a Dedicated Server with 2000 GB hard disks. (... assuming that someone who works with embedded linux images has no problem with installing a tiny webserver and making regular security upgrades)

I do have my own $50 Dedicated server that serves the web portion but if I have to serve the large files as well, I overrun my bandwidth allocation. File-locker services seemed like an easy solution.

Where can you rent a $50 a month dedicated server with 2 TB disks? In the United States preferably.

I don't know (and also don't really care) about US, but here in Germany there are several good providers. "Hetzner" and "1and1" come to mind.
