I use digital ocean for my AI servers. More exe than what your looking at $240/y. Can I suggest fronting it with the free CF version. You'll have bot control, caching, ddos protection for free.
What NV storage limit ?
What RAM limit ?
What inode limit ?
What CPU limit ?
What speed limit?
What bandwidth limit?
What I/O limit ?
What Entry Processes limit ?
What NPROC  limit ?
What backup frequency ?
What database engines and PHP interpreters are provided ?
How many cron jobs are allowed ?
Is sendmail allowed ?
Is SSH access allowed ?

How much is it?

Impressive Video of their device: Slightly rotating. Video is from the showcase link above:

did you read the bit where it's OU and its not breaking the laws of conservation of momentum? Seems a pretty big deal.

TL;DR They are claiming OU in that they can lift 1.2 it's own weight. Reach Mars in 3 days. No current - just charge the plates.
Geometry of their cell and how they charge the plates seems to be their breakthrough. All forces accounted for - no laws broken.

Could a 3Dprinted hollow form be produced and filled with a suitable mixture of materials to suit the experiment? Happy to print off some forms if required.
You could cast that shape without a problem. 
You could even use the same ferrous alloys that Metglass uses (e.g.: Fe₈₀B₂₀, Fe₇₈Si₉B₁₃, Fe₆₇Co₁₈B₁₄Si₁, Fe₆₆Co₁₈B₁₄Si₂, Co₆₆Fe₄Mo₂Si₁₆B₁₂, Fe₄₀Ni₄₀Mo₄B₁₈, etc...) but the excellent magnetic properties of these alloys are not manifested without the rapid freezing.

Even if you could somehow rapid-freeze the melt, it would not work at higher frequencies because of eddy currents developing in it due to the bulk conductivity of these alloys.
That is why non-conductive ferrites or fine enameled iron wire bundles are required to eliminate the undesirable eddy currents.  Enameled Metglass wire bundles would be the best but such things are not manufactured anywhere.

well if 'glass' is non magnetic, what is the material mixed with it that is?
It is not mixed with anything non-metallic.  It is a pure ferrous alloy that has been chilled so quickly that it did not have the time to crystallize.  The resulting structure is amorphous - like glass.

The way this is usually done is by pouring a thin stream of molten metal on the outside of a rapidly rotating silver drum chilled with liquid nitrogen (or LH) from inside and thus forming a thin flat strip of Metglass with irregular edges that are trimmed later..  Silver's excellent thermal conductivity absorbs the heat out of the molten metal so quickly that it does not have the time to crystallize.  The best results occur in vacuum because the chilled silver surface of the drum accumulates frost from the air, otherwise.  When the molten metal hits it, frost flashes to steam and ruptures the forming strip and inhibits fast heat absorption by the chilled silver surface.

A tape will not mesh in the center post without air gaps.  The center post cannot be composed of parallel planar layers.
Metglass tape is very brittle.  It's name does not contain the word "glass" for nothing.

metglass makes a tape or say bendable strips. make a plan and form a spider core with it.
