Interesting...here's some random thoughts:

zfs send/recv support? That seems to be the missing piece in the low-end cloud storage world. There's rsync.net and zfs.rent, but those seem to be targeting 10+ TiB. (My current solution is a 1 TiB 'storage' VPS for $3/month, running Debian ZFS on root. Works nicely, but scrubbing 600 GiB takes over a day!)

I'm not sure a one week trial is long enough, considering you're asking for annual payment up front. For instance, I didn't want to 'start the clock' by creating an account.

Borgbase has a 2 repo / 10 GB free tier, and lots of object storage services offer 20-75 GB free.

BTW, https://www.extralayer.eu/dashboard/registration.php has a broken link ( https://www.extralayer.eu/dashboard/index.html ). Several minor typos on https://www.extralayer.eu/terms-of-service.php and https://www.extralayer.eu/acceptable-use-policy.php, too.

Borg support is good. Might consider restic, too.

Location? I'd want to know where my data is.

Where do you get 1TB block storage for 3$/month? ZFS does not work with object storage.
There was a 50% off coupon code for https://www.interserver.net/vps/storage.html that brought it down from $6/month to $3/month. Not sure if the code is still active or if it works for larger plans.
