Why Host Nextcloud on a VPS?
Root Access & Full Control
With AccuWeb Hosting’s VPS, you get full root access, allowing you to customize your Nextcloud environment, install additional software, configure firewalls, or integrate custom scripts. Plus, you can scale your resources through a higher plan.
Your Data, Your Rules
Hosting Nextcloud on our private VPS means your data stays 100% in your control, not on the servers of big tech companies. There’s no surveillance, profiling, or monetization of your files—just true digital sovereignty.
High-Performance Infrastructure
AccuWeb's VPS is powered by pure SSDs, KVM virtualization, and next-gen CPUs like AMD EPYC and Ryzen. This ensures lightning-fast performance, low-latency collaboration, and zero compromise on availability.
Privacy-First by Design
Unlike mainstream SaaS platforms, our VPS guarantees zero third-party access. Your server is completely isolated, minimizing exposure to data-mining algorithms or security breaches tied to shared environments.
Enterprise-Grade Security
We don’t just offer HTTPS and firewalls. Our VPS comes with free Let's Encrypt SSL, DDoS protection, automated weekly backups, and advanced hardening options like 2FA, Fail2Ban, and intrusion detection tools.
Pre-Secured & Maintained Nextcloud
While most VPS providers leave setup to you, AccuWeb offers a fully pre-installed, optimized, and hardened Nextcloud stack with automatic updates, performance tuning, and monitoring, so you can start collaborating securely.

FAQ
Nextcloud VPS Hosting FAQs
Nextcloud VPS hosting provides a way to run your own cloud storage and collaboration platform on a Virtual Private Server (VPS). This means you have a dedicated server space with reserved resources to install and manage your Nextcloud instance, giving you more control over your data and how it's used compared to using a public cloud service.
Nextcloud VPS Hosting is a self-hosted collaboration platform deployed on a virtual private server. It offers full data control, privacy, and customization.
Google Workspace is a fully managed SaaS platform by Google with limited control over data and no self-hosting option.
Nextcloud is open-source, privacy-first, and customizable; Google Workspace is proprietary, cloud-only, and vendor-managed.
Memory: 1 GB of RAM or more. Disk space: 20 GB or more, depending on the amount of data you plan to store. Database server: Database server (required for a manual Nextcloud setup): MySQL 8.0+ or MariaDB 10.5+ with InnoDB storage engine enabled, or PostgreSQL 12+.
Nextcloud-branded iOS, Android, and desktop apps are free. Powerful enterprise features like SAML authentication, Windows Network Drive support, password policies, audit-ready logging, workflow handling, and more. The AGPL license provides legal certainty for all customers and users.
Nextcloud VPS is a fully managed service; our team will install and configure everything necessary for you.
Yes, all our VPS plans are fully compatible with the Nextcloud Enterprise Edition. You’ll just need to bring your own valid Enterprise license, as our plans do not include the license cost. Once you provide the license, we’ll handle the setup and ensure your VPS is optimized for Enterprise use.
Nextcloud is fully open-source and free, while ownCloud has a dual licensing model (Community and Enterprise editions). Nextcloud generally has a more extensive ecosystem and a more user-friendly interface. In terms of security, Nextcloud offers certain features that are only available in ownCloud's Enterprise edition.
It's ideal for freelancers, students, and privacy-conscious users who can use it personally, and it's easily scalable for teams, SMBs, or enterprise deployments.
Yes — with Nextcloud VPS hosting, you get root/server-level access to install and run apps from the Nextcloud App Store—including Collabora, Talk, Deck, and more.
Expect SSL/TLS via Let's Encrypt, two-factor authentication, brute-force protection, file access controls, encryption options, and compliance-ready logs.
While we provide a powerful foundation for your Nextcloud VPS, it's important to understand the aspects that fall under your management:
- Self-Managed Configuration: We'll handle the initial Nextcloud installation, but you retain full control to configure users, accounts, and assign privileges as needed. Your private space, your rules.
- Migration Services: Please note that free migration assistance from other hosting providers or platforms is not included with our standard service. However, AccuWeb Hosting provides you with full root access and the necessary tools to easily back up your data and facilitate a smooth transition yourself.
- Specific Service Limitations: Certain advanced or custom configurations may have limitations. For detailed information or specific requirements, we encourage you to reach out to our sales team.
Rest assured, should you require any assistance with the management aspects, our 24/7 expert support team is always here to help guide you.
