Storage VPS: large SSD backup and file servers

The smallest, Storage VPS 1TB, is $25.00 per month. It includes 4 vCPU, 16GB memory, 1TB SSD and 10TB transfer per month. 2TB is $39.00, 4TB $69.00 and 8TB $129.00, with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses all included in the prices in the table.

A storage VPS is a virtual server with disk capacity sized larger than CPU and memory. Like a regular VPS, you get an operating system and root access, and you install backup tools or file servers on top to hold your data. It is built for work that needs large storage but not high compute performance, so you get the same capacity at a lower price.

Choose Storage VPS 1TB. It includes 4 vCPU, 16GB memory, 1TB SSD and 8TB transfer per month for $25.00 per month. If your data looks set to grow fast, choose 1.5TB or 2TB; for a small backup server, starting with 300GB or 500GB is enough.

Storage on every storage VPS is SSD. Uploading and downloading large files, restoring backups and searching file lists are handled quickly. For databases with very heavy disk reads and writes, a high-performance NVMe VPS with NVMe disks fits better; if capacity comes first, a storage VPS gives you far more space for the same money.

Pay the invoice in cryptocurrency to create a server. When you pay, the server is created, then you pay the renewal invoice before the next billing date to continue. Refunds go to your account credit. The minimum payment is $25.

If you don't pay the invoice on the billing date, the server is suspended, and you can renew it by paying within 3 days. After 3 days the server and data are deleted, so especially for backup servers, pay the invoice before the billing date. Check your next billing date and monthly price anytime in the control panel.

On Linux, rsync copying folders as they are and tools such as Restic and Borg that send only encrypted changes are widely used. Add an SSH key and backups connect automatically without a password, making it easy to schedule them at a set time every day. Place your storage VPS in a different region from your production servers and copies stay somewhere separate, which is safer.

Choose from Ubuntu 26.04, 24.04 and 22.04 LTS, Debian 13 and 12, AlmaLinux 10 and 9, Rocky Linux 10 and 9, CentOS Stream 10 and 9, and FreeBSD 14. If you want ZFS, choose FreeBSD; to run several backup tools as containers, choose the Docker one-click app.

You can create up to 10 servers per account. Even a setup with one storage server each in the Americas, Europe and Asia exchanging copies is managed from the same invoices. Each server has its own billing date, so deleting just the servers you need stops only their fees. Up to 3 accounts can be created from the same IP.

You are free to use it as a file server, personal cloud or mail archive. Port 25 for sending mail is closed to prevent spam, so send notification emails through port 587 or 465 of an external mail sending service. Use it for any purpose other than the spam, attacks and illegal content banned by the acceptable use policy.
