Plans

Cloud VPS plans for Nextcloud hosting

Nextcloud runs with as little as 1024 MB of free memory, so the Start plan is enough. What matters most when choosing between plans is the NVMe space for your files and how many people use it at the same time.

What is Nextcloud

Nextcloud is open-source software that turns your server into a file hub. You can open everything in the browser, upload and organize documents, photos and videos, and use the desktop and mobile apps to keep folders identical across your devices.

It also includes a calendar and contacts, which sync with your phone over the CalDAV and CardDAV protocols. You also get share links with a password and expiry date, a trash bin, file version history and a separate account for each team member.

On a Mega VPS, Nextcloud is deployed with PostgreSQL as the database, Redis as the cache and background jobs already scheduled. This is the setup the project's documentation recommends for everyday use.

Basic 2 vCore · 2 GB	For trying Nextcloud or storing a few personal files, keeping in mind that 40 GB of NVMe fills up fast.

Pro 4 vCore · 6 GB	For small teams or larger photo and video libraries, with 120 GB of NVMe and 4 vCore.
Turbo 4 vCore · 12 GB	For those who store many large files or share with several people and need 160 GB of NVMe.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about Nextcloud hosting

How much does a VPS with Nextcloud cost?

A VPS with Nextcloud starts at per month on the Start plan. The software is free and open source, and there are no per-user fees. You can pay by Pix, card or boleto, with no lock-in.

How much storage is left for my files?

The system and Nextcloud take up about 7 GB of the disk. On Start, which has 20 GB of NVMe, about 13 GB are left for files. If you need more, choose Basic, Plus or Pro.

Does Nextcloud work on a phone?

Yes. Install the official app for Android or iPhone and enter the server address, username and password. For calendar and contacts, use the same address in a CalDAV and CardDAV account on your device.

Can self-hosted Nextcloud send emails?

Only after you set up a mail server in Nextcloud's basic settings. Without it everything works normally, but Nextcloud will not send alerts or share notifications by email.

Is it safe to expose self-hosted Nextcloud to the internet?

Access comes with HTTPS, lockout after repeated failed password attempts and inline DDoS protection on the network. In our tests, a wrong password was rejected and Nextcloud's own security check showed no warnings.

Can I edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files in the browser?

This is not installed by default. Text and Markdown files can be edited directly. For Office documents you need to add Nextcloud Office, which uses a lot of memory and runs better from the Plus plan up.

Who updates Nextcloud on my VPS?

The delivered version is pinned, so no update changes the system without warning. You update when you want, through root access, preferably after testing. 24/7 support in Portuguese covers server issues, and Nextcloud usage is covered in the project's documentation.

Can I run other apps on the same VPS?

Yes. Each app gets its own address, as long as their combined needs fit in the plan's memory. Since Nextcloud uses about 380 MB, larger plans leave more room for other services.
