How Nextcloud and ownCloud hosting works
Your own Nextcloud or ownCloud on our servers: NVMe or object-storage plans, a user limit per plan, a warning at 90% and paused uploads (never deleted files) when an object plan is full.

Nextcloud and ownCloud hosting: your own file cloud, installed for you
Create a website on a Nextcloud plan and we install the current Nextcloud or ownCloud release for you, on our own servers. Share files, calendars and contacts with your team under your own domain, with no per-user licence fee and a user limit you can see on every plan.

What Nextcloud is
Nextcloud is an open-source file cloud: a place to store, sync and share files, with calendars, contacts and a web interface your team can use from any browser, plus desktop and phone apps. ownCloud is the project Nextcloud grew from and works the same way for files. Both are full applications with their own database, which is why they need hosting set up for them.
Why teams host their own file cloud
A hosted Nextcloud keeps your files under your own domain instead of in a consumer cloud account, with no per-user licence fee. You decide who has an account, what is shared and for how long, and you can move it somewhere else at any time because it is open source.
What we set up for Nextcloud
- The current release, installed for you. Choose Nextcloud or ownCloud when you create the website and our installer installs the newest release the server supports, so you never start on an old version.
- A user limit you can see. Each plan includes a number of users, enforced inside Nextcloud itself: when they are all in use, a new user can be added after you remove one or move to a bigger plan.
- Object storage with a second copy. On an object-storage plan your files live in our object storage, and a second copy is kept in a separate backup store, so one failure does not lose them.
- A warning before it is full, and nothing deleted. On an object-storage plan we measure your storage every day. At 90% you get an e-mail and a dashboard notice; when it is full, new uploads pause while opening, downloading and deleting keep working. We never delete your files because a plan is full.
Plans and pricing
Six plans in two kinds. NVMe plans keep your files on the server's fast disk. Object-storage plans keep the application on the server and your files in object storage with a second copy, for a lower price per gigabyte. Monthly or yearly, with any yearly saving shown on each plan.
Priced on your configuration
Cost depends on the region, machine size, bandwidth and storage you choose, so there is no single monthly figure we could honestly print here. Tell us the workload and we will quote it.
Support is included, and somebody is always there
Every plan comes with it. There is no support tier to buy, no per-incident charge and no ticket allowance — and the desk is open 24 hours a day.
Free on every plan
Support is part of hosting, not an upsell. It is the same support on the smallest plan as on the largest, and nothing about it is counted or capped per incident.
Open 24 hours a day
Whatever hour you are working and whatever time zone you are in, the desk is staffed. You are not writing into an inbox that opens in the morning.
Every one of our 58 languages
Write your ticket in the language you actually think in — we translate it for our team and answer you in yours, with the original always one click away. We sell in all 58.
A person, not a bot
Our assistant answers instantly from the knowledge base, but it never closes a ticket for you. A ticket is picked up and answered by somebody who can act on it.
Renewable power, in every location we host
Our servers run on renewable electricity in every location we host — Europe, the United States and Singapore alike — sourced that way, not offset after the fact.
- Renewable electricity in every one of our data centres
- Data centres running at a PUE of 1.1 to 1.2
- Sites on our shared platform pass the Green Web Foundation's checks — a third party you can verify for yourself

Questions people ask before they buy
Is Nextcloud already installed?
Yes. When you create the website on a Nextcloud plan, choose Nextcloud or ownCloud and we install the current release for you. You sign in as the administrator and add your users.
What is the difference between NVMe and object-storage plans?
NVMe plans keep your files on the server's fast disk next to the application. Object-storage plans keep the application on the server and your files in object storage with a second copy in a separate backup store, which costs less per gigabyte for large libraries.
What happens when my storage is full?
On an object-storage plan, we warn you by e-mail and on your dashboard at 90%. At 100%, new uploads pause, but you can still open, download, share and delete your files. Delete files you no longer need or move to a bigger plan, and uploads start again on their own. We never delete your files because a plan is full.
How many users can I have?
Each plan shows its number of users. The limit is enforced inside Nextcloud: when every user is in use, add another by removing one or moving to a bigger plan.
Can I use the desktop and phone apps?
Yes. Your Nextcloud or ownCloud works with their official desktop and phone apps, which sync to your own domain.
What happens to my files if I delete the website?
Deleting the website removes it and, on an object-storage plan, removes its files from our object storage too. Download anything you want to keep first.
