Starting to properly look into an alternative to #Dropbox or #OneDrive. I'm currently paying AU$109/year ($9/month) for my home Office subscription which includes a terabyte of OD space. Dropbox is $184/year ($15/mo) for 2TB of space. I currently have about 100GB of data to house.
Looks like it costs about AU$80/month to put 100GB of data on a webhost in Australia.
Can anyone suggest somewhere priced in between that'd let me use NextCloud or similar? Boosts and suggestions welcome. #AskFedi
@timixretroplays Might this be an option? Hetzner managed NextCloud server ; you can get 1TB for max 4.29 € (7 AUD) a month. Servers in Germany
Managed nextcloud: cheap cloud storage

EDIT: oops, More replies loaded after I posted this and I see you’ve been recommended this already and that you prefer something closer to home, sorry!

I'm reading that Contabo have some performance and reliability issues, with people running websites and other apps complaining of downtime and slowness because of resource contention, because VPSes are oversold by definition.
But honestly? A few bucks a month to have another, automatically synchronised copy of my data a few hundred km away that's mostly available sounds fine to me, especially when I can still run a dedicated local client in addition to my own PC and laptop.
@timixretroplays I'm currently leaning towards carrying a raidz2 copy of my home backup in my backpack, as that would technically count as offsite. Seems slightly safer compared to VPS provider error/hw failure, and I/O will never suck.
