What is that one company that bought like dozens of other hosting companies? I'd avoid all of them.
btw I block all of datapacket's ips from most of my websites, not that that in of itself would be a problem for you, but ips from dpacket, ovh, digital ocean, and similar are blocked en masse from several places I control - I can't be the only one that puts trust things from them on a lower tier for reasons with whatever effects.
Of course if you don't send email, you just need something that can serve files fast and stay online, but the support you get or don't get can cost more than the dollars you save in some cases.
Same, I block all DigitalOcean, Vultr, AWS and sorts form access at all. 99% of security issues together with content are resolved after it.
I don't know if datapacket is considered high end at all, it might be.. my only knowledge of it is seeing it's ip addys regularly used in failed admin login attempts and being used to send contact form spam..
Of course they are not the only ones being used for such things.
They're cheap because they're older hardware and they sell out to email spammers. Works great as long as you don't need a good IP reputation for email delivery.

Cheapish, okay support, reliable in my experience:

If you just need storage, this is some of the cheapest out there on a shared host:
Ryzen 9 configs
96GB+ DDR 4/5
Starts at $199/month
They usually have a good Black Friday deal.
Same story with Racknerd: https://www.racknerd.com/dedicated-servers (they have new years deals rn too!)
I have no affiliation.
They recently expanded to the us.
I recently discovered these guys and they had Black Friday specials up until about a month ago... Their support has been top notch. I ended up switching 5 pretty decent sized VPS's to them and 1 dedicated server.
Very happy in every way with them: https://www.hivelocity.net/
First has great support and second has horrible to say the least support. Both are cheap and reasonably stable
