Need a VPS for running personal NextCloud

Looking for a VPS to run a personal NextCloud instance with

  • Number of cores: 2 - ideal.
  • Ram - Min 1/ Ideal 2 GB
  • Storage - Min 100GB / Ideal 250GB (HDD is fine)
  • Bandwidth - Min 500 GB/ Ideal 1TB
  • Location - Europe (preferable) / UK (ideal)
  • KVM preferable

Can these requirements be met around $15 annual or less? (considering there are ongoing BF deals) ?

    Wait for the next @cociu $€£¥1 offer in honor of @Nekki.
    It's 1TB SSD.

    :s Looking for at-least 1GB ram
    I'm flexible on location and a little on the price too if the offer is good

  • Good luck with your budget

    What is the recommended budget I should be looking at with those specs then?

  • @azeem said:

    • Ram - Min 1/ Ideal 2 GB

    You need more RAM. Yes, you do. Remember: web-server, db-server, php, caching (apc, opcache, redis, disc). 2GB is absolute minimum and NC is crawling with that...

    Really? I thought 512mb is minimum recommended - as per NC documentation

    512MB is more than enough for nextcloud personal usage. No need for redis, just install Nginx, MariaDB 10.3, and PHP-FPM 7.4 with OPCache & APC.

  • I run NC using the snap package on less than 512MB

    I'm running it with hetzner. Not that cheap but I like it

    Are you running self-hosted or hosted with hetzner?

  • There is a difference between "running" and "running smoothly". It won't be running smoothly if you run NC on the storage server. It's a storage server with HDD and not really meant to run apps (do share if otherwise and it is running fast!). I think it would be better if NC runs on a different server than the storage backend and then link the storage backend server to the NC server. You could link through SFTP from NC interface but if you use NFS it should be faster. It would be good of course if both servers are in the same DC/location. Another thing to try is to setup MinIO on the storage server and try to use the S3 option in NC. https://min.io/

    Self-hosted. I'm hosting it with their cloud servers.

    Hmm, do you get decent upload/download speed? I had a couple of issues (not with Hetzner), the speed was terrible slow.

    How many % is allowed on CPU? Is it a dedicated core?

  • i am using @AnthonySmith's storage VPS for more than 1+ years now. they are solid.

    I think if you like speed and the speed of disk is critical for you, then you have to look for a hybrid VPS. It's way better than connect 2 VPS even from 1 country. Better if it's the same DC and the same provider and you can use its network. Unfortunately there are only few providers on LET who have hybrid plans but I think the number of such providers with hybrid plans will increase in the next 2-3 years. Personally I would like @LiteServer @hosthatch and @NDTN having hybrid plans. I used @key900 hybrid plan, but unfortunately I stopped it cause of not a good ping to the server, hope one day they (letbox) organize something in Europe, who knows... :)

    The reason why providers don't provide hybrid plans is solusVM, which many of them use. As far as I know, it doesn't support hybrid. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Thank you for the mention. We would like to have Hybrid setup, but SolusVM officially does not support that.
    We are working on Openstack plans now, which might bring more features like the compute plans + block storage plans - just like other cloud providers like Vultr are doing. But it will take months to be ready to release.
