Apps / Nextcloud
Managed Nextcloud hosting.
One server, no app limits.
Your own file, calendar, and office suite. The self-hosted office anchor, with backups included instead of sold separately.
What it is
Nextcloud is your own cloud drive: files, sync clients on every platform, calendars, contacts, and document collaboration, on a server that answers to you instead of a storage quota.
Minimum RAM
2 GB
Fits on SC-2GB; SC-4GB is the comfortable pick with room to stack.
What we install
The playbook deploys the current Nextcloud on PHP 8.3 with a tuned MariaDB, Redis wired for file locking and caching when selected, HTTPS forced, background jobs on real cron, and the setup checks green before handover.
What managed covers
PHP, database, and server updates plus Nextcloud point releases with snapshots first; daily snapshots and dual offsite backups of files and database; monitoring, the managed firewall, and mail for shares and resets.
The app is $0. The managed server is the only bill, and everything above is part of it.
What does managed Nextcloud hosting include?
A Nextcloud that passes its own setup checks, kept updated and backed up twice offsite, with monitoring and working email, at flat server pricing. Storage is your NVMe disk, not a metered bucket: the 200 GB on an SC-8GB is simply yours.
How does this compare to Dropbox or Google Drive?
Per-user SaaS pricing becomes one flat server: a team of ten on paid Dropbox tiers usually costs more monthly than the server that replaces it, and the files live under your jurisdiction. Sync clients, sharing links, and mobile apps all work the way the team expects.
Can Nextcloud share the server with other apps?
Yes, and the Self-Hosted Office kit exists for exactly that: Nextcloud for files, Vaultwarden for passwords, WireGuard for private access, one managed server. Redis beside it is the single best performance addition Nextcloud knows.
Will you migrate our existing files?
Yes, free. Existing Nextcloud instances move whole, with users, shares, and versions. Coming from Drive or Dropbox, we stage the transfer server-side so the upload happens on datacenter bandwidth, not your office line.
Stack it
Nextcloud runs well with.
Same server, no extra bill. These are the companions our team installs next to Nextcloud most often.
Redis
+1 GBIn-memory cache and queue. The cheapest speed upgrade most stacks never install. Pairs with everything.
Vaultwarden
+1 GBSelf-hosted Bitwarden-compatible password manager. Your vault, your server, our backups.
WireGuard
+1 GBThe modern VPN protocol, deployed with client configs ready to import and the tunnel verified working.
Frequently asked questions
How much RAM does Nextcloud need?
2 GB with its database is a comfortable floor for a small team; add Redis and count 3 GB. Document editing (Collabora/OnlyOffice) is heavier and we size it with you.
How much storage do we get?
The plan's NVMe disk, minus the system: no separate storage bill. Growing means moving up a plan, and in-place upgrades keep your data where it is.
Are files backed up?
Twice offsite, daily, plus snapshots: PBS and S3 destinations. Deleted-yesterday recoveries are a request away.

Shared CPU servers
The right home for Nextcloud and most stacks: 3.0+ GHz vCPU, from $10/mo.
