Cheap UK/EU VPS for personal cloud use (ownCloud)
Hey guys,
I'm after a cheap UK VPS for personal cloud storage (Will be installing ownCloud on it to use for personal/work file backup via PC and Phone) I'd prefer it to be in the UK since I am as well but other EU countries will be considered if they can meet the requirements.
Requirements:
1 CPU
512MB RAM (More if possible)
50GB HDD (More if possible)
1TB+ Bandwidth on 1Gbps
1x IPv4 (IPv6 doesn't matter)
Server will only use what is required to run ownCloud as well Webmin and an FTP for myself and possibly a few family members/friends.
I'd prefer to pay for the whole year in advance and I have a budget of $5/mo and paid quarterly, I can push it a little higher if needed. But even lower would be awesome ;D
I know the budget is on the lower side of things, but I also know it's more than doable (Before anyone tells me it's impossible)

I'm not sure about ownCloud, but HostWithLinux offers 2GB of RAM, 50GB SSD cached disk on OpenVZ at $5/mo ($15 quarterly) in the UK: https://billing.hostwithlinux.net/order.php?step=0&productGroup=17
You may check Clouvider as well, but I think you might need to increase the budget.
If you could go with USA, Cloudshards has this within your budget:
1 CPU core
320MB RAM
250GB RAID50 Disk Space
1TB traffic
1Gbps uplink
1x IPv4
8x IPv6

Great suggestions, thanks man I'll have to check them out.

Thanks for the suggestions man, those seem pretty good for what I want, and I do have a ZXPlay 800gb from @AshleyUK some of the best hosting I've come across, brilliant support too, highly recommended. I use mine for a filehost/plex server.

I have a couple VPS (US) @Ramnode now and they are great, was just trying to see if there were any UK options first, since it better suits my needs.

Thank you for the suggestion, I already have plenty of great US VPS (Crissic/FlipHost/Ramnode etc) but I was specifically looking for UK if possible, if not then the best deal I could get on an EU alternative.
How about time4vps.eu Lithuania?
1 GB RAM with 4 TB Bandwidth and 1 TB Disk for 3.99 EUR/monthly.
100mbit
I wonder does the OP really have a Gbit Internet at home or his office, that the 100 Mbit VPS would become a bottleneck? (Or perhaps wrote "on 1 Gbps" just in case, without thinking much)
>
I have a 152mbit connection at home and I said on 1gbps because I don't want the bottleneck of a shared 100mbit and the emails of "using too much bandwidth and affecting other users" that will inevitably come with it when burst downloading at higher speeds. I understand that I'm not getting anything dedicated and I'd never expect to, but in my experience you're allowed to use more/burst more frequently with a 1gbps line, rather than a 100mbit one. That and the whole potentially oversold thing.
Though I do see that time4vps says each vps gets a dedicated 100mbit, so that might be something I'll look into.
152 Mbit upload too?
100 Mbit is not necessarily shared 100 Mbit, especially if it's not unmetered.
More like, all VPSes on a node share 1 or 10 Gbit, with each capped to 100 Mbit.
And if they are not unmetered, you won't see anything even close to congestion.
CPU: 2 Core
RAM: 2 Gb ECC
Hdd: 30 Gb
Ipv4 address : 1 included
Port: 1 Gbps
Located in Romania
30 tb/mo traffic included
price :1.99eur/mo
you can order here https://secure.hostsolutions.ro/cart.php?a=add&pid=124
Not the same upload at home, but work upload is much faster and that is where I spend the majority of my time/doing work. (There will also most likely be multiple users due to family/friends etc)
I also understand that it's not necessarily shared, but a lot of the time it is shared and I just wanted to avoid the whole mess in general.
I can offer you:
1GB RAM
100GB HDD
1Gb port
1TB transit
London DC
OpenVZ
$10/m or $100/yr
happy to setup a trial for a day if you want to feel the quality

My bad, It was already mentioned.
Virtus Enfield. I'm renting a dedi from @clouvider
+1 @Bruce is a pleasure to work with. Definitely recommend!
It's fairly easy to setup owncloud, heck there is even a repo for some of the more popular distros that allow it to be installed/updated via the package maanger. It's essentially a PHP webapp.
Sorry, I missed that earlier! Thanks for mentioning!
