What you get instead of a subscription

Commercial file storage bills per user per month, and the bill grows every time someone joins. Nextcloud is free software: you pay for the server and add as many accounts as you like.

It is not only storage. Nextcloud does file sync across desktop and phone, shared folders and links, calendars and contacts, and — with the Office app — collaborative documents. For a small team that is most of a productivity suite running on one VPS.

Storage, and where it sits

  • Plan storage is NVMe or SSD, chosen at checkout; NVMe is faster, SSD gives you more per shilling
  • Backup storage by the terabyte can be added for the copies you cannot lose
  • Our cloud storage boxes work as external storage when the library grows past the VPS disk

Be clear with yourself about where the data should live before you start: our servers are international, so if your organisation is bound to keep files in a particular country, tell us before you order.

Sizing the server

Just you, or a small team

The entry VPS is enough for a single instance with a handful of users: 2 vCPU and 4 GB of RAM run most of these applications comfortably alongside a database.

A busy team or several apps

Step up a plan when you are running more than one service on the same box, or when the database grows past a few gigabytes. Memory is usually what runs out first, not CPU.

Heavy or production use

The larger plans carry enough cores and memory for production workloads, CI runners and analytics. You can move up a plan at any time without rebuilding the server.

Unmanaged by default, managed if you want it

Every VPS is unmanaged unless you say otherwise, which is what keeps the price where it is: you have root, you choose the stack, and you patch it on your schedule.

If you would rather not, add Managed at checkout and our team handles operating-system updates, monitoring and the routine problems. You can also add backup storage by the terabyte and an additional IPv4 address from the same screen.

What every Nextcloud VPS includes

  • KVM virtualisation

    Guaranteed vCPU and memory, not shared out when a neighbour gets busy.

  • Full root access

    Install any version, any dependency, any service the application needs.

  • DDoS protection

    Attack traffic is filtered before it reaches your server, at no extra cost.

  • Help when you need it

    Support by ticket and live chat, and a managed option if you want one.

Nextcloud Hosting: frequently asked questions

How many users can I have?

There is no license limit — Nextcloud is free software. The practical limit is the server: the entry plan is comfortable for a small team, and larger plans handle dozens of active users.

Can I add more storage later?

Yes. Storage type is a checkout option, backup storage is sold by the terabyte, and a cloud storage box can be mounted as external storage without rebuilding the server.

How much does a VPS for Nextcloud cost?

Plans start at $11.40. Every plan above shows its cores, memory and storage with prices in US dollars, and you can switch between monthly and yearly billing.

Do you install Nextcloud for me?

The VPS is unmanaged by default, so Nextcloud is yours to install — it takes a few minutes on a clean server. If you would rather we did it, add the managed option at checkout or open a ticket and our team will set it up.

Which operating system should I choose?

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is the safest default and has the most documentation. Debian 11, AlmaLinux 9 and Rocky Linux 9 are there too, and all of them are selected at checkout at no extra cost.

Do I get root access?

Yes, full root. The machine is yours: install what you like, tune what you like.

Can I back it up?

Yes. Backup storage is a checkout option, priced by the terabyte, and you can add it later from the client area. Nothing is backed up automatically unless you add it.

Where are your VPS servers located?

In international data centres. There is no Kenya-located VPS and no Kenyan IP address; if your workload has to sit in a particular country we will say so plainly rather than sell you something that does not.
