Where can I find a cheap server to store a large truecrypt/veracrypt container?
What are the cheap options for renting a server/vps/vds/cloud (the main possibility is ssh + root)?
The task is this: there are many files that need to be backed up (duplicated) and this backup should be safely stored.
For this, I have chosen the resilio sync + veracrypt container for now. Is there an easier or more efficient way?
The container is connected and it already stores files that are synchronized resilio
There are a lot of files - 1TB and there will only be more. Assuming that GB is not so expensive now, you can hope to rent some host for $ 5-10, which can implement all this without having expensive gigahertz and fast iops.
Now I use Digitalocean and for $5 I get everything I need for my tasks, but there are no cheap options for storing large volumes. So I'm looking for options.

Small clarification
The container is not transferred anywhere. It is on the server. The server has a veracrypt program that mounts the container. Resilio is on the same server and works with files inside a container.

The Amazon S3 / Glacier option is cheap as storage, but you'll burn out on traffic. Because each time you are going to update/transfer the whole one hefty TC container file.
Therefore, it is better to consider a variant with file-by-file transfer of only changed files and encryption on the fly.
Upd. 2019 instead of TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt try switching to Cryptomator- it encrypts with strong algorithms, OpenSource, updates only changed data in the cloud. And look at CyberDuck the same way: this FTP client can work with SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, OpenStack Swift, Backblaze B2, Microsoft Azure & OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox and at the same time encrypt / decrypt files sent to the cloud on the fly - with the same algorithm as Cryptomator.
Place on your facilities. For large volumes of permanently available data, prices will be appropriate.
Well, such volumes, and even in a cryptocontainer, are just the case when "you put it closer - you take it closer." Build a tunnel between the VPS with a white IP and your server and forward the service through this tunnel (by simple port-mapping or proxying through nginx/squid if there is an interface on http/https).
