Recommendation of Hoster for managed Nextcloud?

🗃️ Hosting providers
1

Hello all,
for reasons of age I want to transfer the care for my Nextcloud instance to a hosting provider. I have the following goals and non-goals:

  • No Talk or office
  • 1 TB Storage is sufficient
  • App Store Access
  • A purely european solution with german or english support
  • scriptable Access to backups

The last point is important because I have a reliable backup system in place and want to integrate the nextcloud there ( a time lag is acceptable ) and of course I dont want a vendor lock in. The important data is

  • the data directory
  • a database dump
  • the config.php

Any ideas ? I am already aware of wolkesicher.de which are very close, but their access to backup is not scriptable (except in the real expensive plans).

The price should be below 20 € /month.

Thanks !
Norbert

Hello Nobert,

I don’t think you’ll find what you’re looking for. Because as a rule, when you hand over the administration, you don’t get that kind of access.

We offer Managed Nextcloud, and with that, we take care of the complete administration of the Nextcloud, including the backup.

At that price point, only Hetzner comes to mind, but you won’t get access to the points you mentioned there either.

I think it will be hard to find a solution with such “special” requirements at this price. If you consider simple 1TB storage ranks at 5-6-7$/month at cheap providers there is almost no room to for added value like managing Nextcloud managing APIs and offering support.

The price tag rather matches highly automated and scaled products like Hetzner Storage Share. otherwise read through the posts in this category we have many similar discussions (you’ll have to check yourself for backup scriptability)

Hi @NorbertK

You have to be realist about your request ! You can’t expect to pay $20/month for 1To with such accesses !
Here I don’t give access at backups at customers as it always ends up with a mess. We have a backup system that runs every night and it’s perfect like that.
As it’s hosted in regular hosting account, you have access at all files but if you break the NC, you’ll be charged to get it fixed :wink:

Try looking at cloudamo - I’ve used them for a few years and they are good. I do backups from a machine at my house using rclone, but cloudamo gives me command line access, so maybe you could do what you want. Not sure on this.

It will not fulfill all of your requirements, but I’m quite happy with hosting.de, especially they can host on your own domain.
