Had a self hosted nextcloud instance runnning on my homeserver, but migrated away two years ago to a Hetzner Storage share. All in all I'm quite happy with that.

There are some downsides, though:

  - No support for collabora online, so no way for collaborative editing of office files
  - Data is not encrypted

Hetzner also has classical web hosting offerings, which are cheap as well. I'm using that for email and a website of mine.

just to piggyback off of this, theres also Pikapods (based in malta i think) that have about 100 or so self-hosted apps that can be installed with one-click and then you just pay depending on what you use. im more into self-hosting on my own hardware but its a nice option for people who want to get their feet wet or that dont have the time to manage a VPS themselves

I had no idea how cheap this was. Thanks.

I've just rented one a few days ago!

It's not a full-on Nextcloud instance, mind. For example there is no ffmpeg for generating video thumbnails.

But liking it so far
