The lifetime prices actually don’t seem that bad depending on your usecase (mine is solely redundant backups). Compared against Backblaze B2 for backup or a VPS service you’d come out ahead after a few years. I pay $50 for a 2TB VPS yearly, which I also use as a public IP reverse proxy/etc. Of course, “lifetime” means “for the life of the service” and all that, as well storage may not scale forever into the future, and companies usually tend to mess around with older lifetime deals after 5-10 years, but on paper it’s slightly tempting. Anyone have any tiebreakers?
Edit: I think I’d be kneecapped trying to find a cheap enough VPS to switch to that still fits my bandwidth needs. It would still be like minimum $20/year, in which case the price difference would be resolving at ~$30/year, which isn’t really fast enough to not consider this a risk or push.
