Trying to cut down on my server bills. Does anyone know of a good #Nextcloud host that's cheap, reliable, and offers a decent amount of extensions?

Nextcloud's own service picker just kind of recommends a bunch of random providers with no real insight on what they offer, or how good they are.

why not go for a cheap vps and install Nextcloud instead of looking for a nextcloud provider?

I self-host it on HCoop.net . It's a bit sluggish but works for me and doesn't cost me anything in addition to the membership that I already have for web site hosting and such.

literally everyone recommends doing this. The thing is, I already have a dedicated Linode that I'd like to retire, so that I don't have to spend the 60 bucks a month on it.

I'd rather pay 5 bucks instead.

vps don't cost 60 bucks per month. I have several and one of them is at 15 dollars a year.

that one has 2 vcpus, 1.5 or 2 GB of RAM if I remember correctly, and sufficient amount of traffic up and down for a Nextcloud usage.

That's interesting i suppose. Did not realize a VPS could be had so cheap. 20GB would not go far as a Nextcloud(I've got over 100GB in mine) but still that could be nice for a blog or gopher or something like that.

That's a base plan you can add extra storage if needed on that kind of vps.

And hmm...what kind of VPS you have for 60 bucks a month. We bought the most powerful from our provider for around 40 Euros and we host a ton of services - see https://trom.tf/ . It's a 10 vCPU Cores 60 GB RAM 1.6 TB SSD 1 Gbit/s Port.... We have hundreds of users already, if not close to 1k, and so far the server is barely used.

We use Contabo https://contabo.com/en/vps/ - install Yunohost and run Nextcloud like a boss for 6 Euros a month. 200GB SSD, 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM. Or use their storage VPS https://contabo.com/en/storage-vps/ for like less than 5 Euros: 2vCPU, 4GB RAM, 300GB HDD. So far they have the cheapest prices and so far they seem very reliable for us.
