Since the cost does not include enough space for a full node how much does it cost to go to 1TB for storage?
It's not much work to do a quick pre-install of BTC and then bill you at a profit for bandwidth overages and storage overages.

Remember, most if not all hosts give you X bandwidth and even if you are doing your initial sync from a local node to your local node and never touching the internet that bandwidth still counts against your monthly total.

If you have the bandwidth at home or wherever, I have been doing these for people:

take out the 512GB drive that comes with it and put in a 1TB. For under $250 you have a NEW machine that does not pull too much power that can more then then run a node + electrum server and a LN server if you want.
