So the best I've spotted so far is Contabo, who will give me a Nextcloud-preconfigured VPS with 150gb of space for about AU$7.50/month, and they have a presence in Sydney: https://contabo.com/en-us/nextcloud-hosting/ I've literally never heard of these guys before, and all the cheap VPS places going all in on AI stuff gives me a bit of the ick, but otherwise that's actually a really attractive option so far.

I'm reading that Contabo have some performance and reliability issues, with people running websites and other apps complaining of downtime and slowness because of resource contention, because VPSes are oversold by definition. But honestly? A few bucks a month to have another, automatically synchronised copy of my data a few hundred km away that's mostly available sounds fine to me, especially when I can still run a dedicated local client in addition to my own PC and laptop.
