VPS for personal cloud storage?

[lisa4141]

I'm thinking about setting up my own cloud storage and need a VPS for it. hostpro.com came up - any thoughts? Daily backups and DDoS protection are a must.

You could also check out InterServer’s VPS. Their plan starts with 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM and 40 GB SSD plan is around $2.4/month with the JV-20-LIFE coupon. It’s worth checking the exact backup options and retention, but the specs are plenty for a personal cloud storage setup.

I'd draw your attention to accounts from operavps.com and inet.ws.
Simple & Easy to use control panel.
Reliable with very good uptime of 99%.
Low introductory price.
Secure with domain privacy and free SSL certificate.
Integration with lots of apps & CMS.
Good support.

Make sure to contact web host and see if they can do services for you such as restarts etc fast.
Also confirm what kind of conditions your server would be kept under - that is very important.
Just be well-prepared before buying the host. Cheers

When I was comparing VPS options for a project that needed low latency, hostpro.com ended up being the one I stuck with. The daily backups alone have saved me once after a botched update, since I could restore everything in minutes. Their support team is genuinely qualified and available 24/7, and they never charge extra for handling questions. Speeds have been consistently fast even during peak hours.

How much data do you have now, and how quickly is it growing? For personal cloud storage I would check usable disk space and transfer limits first, including room for file versions, previews, trash and the operating system. A small VPS can have enough CPU while running out of storage very quickly.

If you use Nextcloud, the backup needs to cover its database and configuration as well as the files, with a consistent restore procedure. Its documentation explains the components: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/la...ce/backup.html

Keep a recoverable copy outside the VPS and test downloading a file from an older backup. Synchronisation can propagate accidental deletions, so it should not be your only recovery mechanism. Also check whether the provider charges for restoring or downloading backups; that cost can matter more than a small difference in the monthly VPS price.

I'd compare HostPro with other providers if you need server resources that can adapt as your workload changes. They offer KVM-based infrastructure with NVMe storage and locations in Warsaw, Amsterdam, and Tampa. Daily backups are kept for 30 days, and technical support is available around the clock to help with server-related issues.
