Back to the original question...  Backblaze B2 is the cheapest online 
storage I have found.  It is in the US, so links can be a tad slow on 
occasion. :) Also the hard drive service to send you your data has to go 
though customs, so that is a drawback.

For file sharing, nearlyfreespeech.net is the cheapest web host around 
and the data transfer rates are not bad.  However, they do that because 
there is essentially no support in the traditional sense.  And it is 
also Us based so the slow links still apply.
