That's not reassuring as far as availability goes.
Updated: No info on the company, domain registration is private, registered agent for the corporation is one of those "registered agent services" that lets the owner(s) hide their identity, and the physical address listed (edit: on their contact page) is a post office.
Yeah, pretty sure I'm not uploading any files to you. Nice try, though; you get points for the attempt.
S3 is $0.02/GB, or $0.2/10GB and $2/month gets you 100GB on Google Drive.

"We"? You keep saying "we" but, c'mon, we all know it's just you, running this off of a machine in your home office or garage or whatever.
I don't know why people always try to make their little companies seem much larger than they really are but... you know what? It's perfectly fine! It's okay to be a one-(wo)man shop, doing everything, at home, by yourself, in your spare time -- especially here on HN!. That's how a large number of companies start out. It's not something to be ashamed of or to try to hide.
This practice of trying to appear as some big large company is counter-productive. If you act like a big(ger) company, I'm going to treat you like one and call you out on things you should be doing (but can't, due to it just being you). If you stop pretending and just be honest -- "Hey, it's just me building this myself, trying to make a business out of it" -- then I'll cut you some slack and give you a chance.
Apparently "fake it until you make it" is still a thing.

It could be a totally legit business but there's a bit too much "secrecy" for me to trust them.
I would have signed up for a trial if you had some sort of app that made it easier to transfer files. I saw the instructions, and they're a pain. As a developer, I have 3TB of unused storage from a few OVH servers—some of it with automatic failover based on GlusterFS: I can just mount that and copy files via the Finder or terminal.
I guess I don't get it.
What has been your experience with ovh support?
Does the server boot? If so, you should use http://docs.ovh.ca/en/guides-ovh-rescue.html#hardware-check which should flag it to them I believe.
If the server doesn't boot it should have been picked up by their monitoring systems (I believe this is "Level 1").
Have you tried calling them?
I know I can’t start at a dollar but I can’t imagine many people backing up 0-10gb a month and that’s it
We use b2 at work for our corporate offsite backups and I can’t praise it high enough.
We’ve had it running for over a year and it’s just been set and forget.
We use cloudberry as the backup tool and it’s been great.
B2 is obviously our third line backup for when all else fails but I have confidence in it and it’s cheap.
One week!
