KVS script, 100TB tube videos possibly, and something like 20,000 people a day, lets say. With this I want to save max amount of $$$ on hosting, like I said something around $250 per month could be good (collocation, with my own equipment).

You are still talking about dropping thousands of dollars on a server. If you want 100 TB of storage, that's going to be a very expensive setup, especially if you are mirroring the drives (which you should be.) That doesn't account for the rack space, the bandwidth, the router if your data center doesn't supply one, the spare parts, power usage, the list goes on and on.
You are truly putting the horse before the carriage here. If you can manage your server yourself, go with someone like OVH, they have servers in France, Germany, etc. If you can't manage your server yourself, start with a decent managed VPS and grow from there.
