Hello everyone,

I’m currently running Nextcloud 31.0.2 on a shared hosting plan with one.com, but I’ve been encountering issues when attempting to manually update to newer versions. The update process consistently fails, and I’m considering switching to a more suitable host.

Current Hosting Setup:

  • PHP Version: 8.4.7
  • Memory Limit: 1 GB
  • Max Execution Time: 3600s
  • Upload Max Size: 256 MB
  • OPcache Revalidate Frequency: 2
  • Extensions: Core, date, libxml, openssl, pcre, sqlite3, zlib, bcmath, bz2, calendar, ctype, curl, dba, dom, json, fileinfo, filter, gd, gettext, gmp, hash, iconv, intl, SPL, mbstring, session, standard, mysqlnd, mysqli, PDO, pdo_mysql, pdo_sqlite, Phar, posix, random, readline, Reflection, exif, SimpleXML, soap, sodium, sysvshm, tokenizer, xml, xmlreader, xmlwriter, xsl, zip, cgi-fcgi, hosting, imagick, imap, Zend OPcache
  • Database: MySQL 10.6.20
  • OS: Linux 6.8.0-51-generic x86_64
  • CPU: Unknown

Use Case for Nextcloud:

  • Contacts Server
  • Calendar Server
  • Cookbook App
  • Notes App
  • Passwords App

Given these requirements, would Oracle’s Free Tier (Ubuntu Server) be a good alternative? Or are there better hosting options available for a smooth Nextcloud experience?

Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

How many users do you need to support?

I run mine (just myself, no other users currently though I’m considering offering it to my children) on a Linux laptop. Install is bare metal.

Hi

It all depends if you are looking for an hoster specialised in NC hosting that will supply and maintain the NC instance for you (like I do for my customers) or if you are willing to install the server and maintain it by yourself ? (like with Bare Metal or VPS for example).
