Does anyone recommend a VPS to run Nextcloud? @selfhost

I convinced my brother to stop paying for Office Online and give us this money to use a self-hosted Nextcloud.

Oracle have a great free tier. For free (not a trial, but forever free), you can get a virtual machine with 24gb RAM, and storage of 200gb. you might wanna consider that.

If you do choose to use oracle, I'll note you that you do need a credit card, tho it'll not be charged unless you manually upgrade your account to paid account.

I'm not advertising them, I just really think they're great and I'm using it myself.

Be extra vigilant with your backups though, free stuff always has a higher chance of weird stuff happening, once they just removed my VPS after my trial ended and told me to re-create it.

Of course. Need to be extra cautious so you don't get a surprise bill for your birthday.

That's what I liked more about Oracle as compared to AWS or GCP etc', is that you need to manually upgrade your account to paid account. and if u don't then you just can't create another machine or another block storage.

But still it's extremely important to read every word so you know what you're getting yourself into.
