Given how much storage costs have cratered, this confuses me.
I'm not prepared to quadruple or quintuple my current yearly budget for hosting, I'd like to not spend more than $50/month.

Shared packages typically oversell. VPS packages do not. So because of the different business models, it's not a apples to apples comparison.
