One of the active ones is a client's site
Please tell me you at least have something for the client. Even Vultr's free snapshots? OVH's automated backups? Anything?
This is how people lose businesses.
How many of your 'unlimited' sites are actually active?
I went the other direction. Down to 3 domains, all active, all on Hetzner Falkenstein. €15/month total including backups. My "unlimited" phase lasted 2016-2020 and cost me probably €800 in aggregate for projects I never launched.
Sometimes constraint is freedom.
Rotterdam checking in. I use OVHcloud Limburg for a Minecraft server (active, 20 players) and Vultr Amsterdam for a few static sites. 4 domains total, 3 active.
Restore test: annual, during Christmas when nobody cares if the server disappears for an hour. Last year the world file was corrupted in backup. Found out the hard way. Now I keep 7 days of local copies too.

Easy to say with 3 domains. Try telling that to 2016 me with 40 "ideas."
I am now at 9 domains, 2 active. Deleted 15 last year when renewal came. Namecheap kept emailing me "come back" offers like an ex.
Did anyone mention rsync.net? I use them for ZFS send of my Hetzner VPS. Not unlimited, not cheap, but I have tested restores and they work. That's worth more than 80 dead domains.
Active: 3 of 6. The other 3 are family sites I maintain out of guilt.

rsync.net
How much are you paying? Their site says $0.025/GB/month at low tiers. For my ~200GB that's $60/month, which is more than my entire hosting budget.
Is there a secret deal or do you just have less data?
