I’d like to set up a personal cloud, probably through a vps to start. However, I’d also like to move my domains to the same server. It’s been well over a decade since I did any server admin style work, so in technology years I’m old as feck.
What are my best options to look into as far as privacy/security/reliability/price for a vps? What are my best options to allow friends and family to mindlessly backup their data to our private cloud (if such a thing exists)? I’m looking for cross platform support and the ability to host multiple websites.
Another vote for the Hetzner hosted nextcloud instances (which they call Storage Share, do not confuse with Storage Box which is a FTP/SFTP/WebDAV/whatever… service).
I self hosted NC in a VPS for years and not having to worry about the updates/backups is a blessing. Having used Hetzner for more than 2 years, even the smallest plan works flawlessly, and you can use several domains or subdomains to segregate your users.
