What storage is for and what it is not

Hard disks instead of SSDs: lots of space at a low price, but not suited to everything.

Good fit

  • Archives and long-term storage
  • Media, photos, video
  • Your own cloud (Nextcloud, Seafile)
  • Backups from other servers (rsync, Borg, Restic)
  • Download and seedbox services within the terms

Poor fit

  • Databases and busy websites
  • Game servers and compute-heavy applications
  • Anything that needs fast random access
  • As the only copy of important data – keep a second backup elsewhere

In every storage plan included

A full KVM server, just with a different focus.

  • Root access and free choice of OS
  • Hard disks in a redundant ZFS pool, 20 GB system disk
  • Own IPv4 + IPv6 address
  • 1 Gbit/s uplink, traffic included
  • Control panel with console and reinstall
  • Located in Germany

More about our tech

A good fit if you …

… want to store lots of data

Archives, media and backups up to 8 TB on a server of your own.

… want to decide how

Root access: Nextcloud, rsync, Samba or whatever you need.

… need a backup target

As the target server for your own backup tools.

How to get started

  1. Pick a sizeFrom 500 GB to 8 TB, plus a 20 GB system disk.
  2. PayThe server is set up automatically.
  3. Set it upVia SSH or console, the way you need it.

Good to know before you order

  • Data sits on hard disks in RAID, not SSDs – great for lots of space, not for databases or websites.
  • A storage server does not replace a second backup in another location.

Questions about Storage

Storage or Storage Box?
Storage is a server of your own with root. The Storage Box is pure storage with many access methods and snapshots, without a server to maintain.
Can I upgrade later?
