What kind of storage does this VPS use?

This page describes large-capacity disk for capacity-led workloads. Do not assume a specific disk technology or array layout; ask about the storage characteristics your workload requires.

Is a Storage VPS itself a backup?

It can be a backup target, but a single server is not a complete backup strategy. Keep independent copies, protect credentials and test restoration.

You can install Nextcloud with root access. Size memory for the application and database, maintain updates and configure background tasks, TLS and access controls.

Can I use rsync, restic or Borg?

Yes, install suitable Linux packages and configure repositories or destinations yourself. Plan encryption, retention, pruning and restore testing for your chosen tool.

Does the plan include an S3 service?

No managed S3 endpoint is implied. You can install MinIO to provide S3-compatible object storage and take responsibility for its configuration, maintenance and backups.

How much storage is in each plan?

The plans offer 500 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB of large-capacity storage. Filesystem and application overhead reduce usable space; confirm final allocations at checkout.

Can I add snapshots or expand the disk?

Ask about optional snapshots or backup add-ons and available upgrades in the client area. Confirm the expansion procedure and protect existing data before making changes.

Can I upgrade my VPS without losing data?

Yes. CPU, RAM and storage upgrades are applied to your existing server from the client area, so your files, applications and IP address stay in place. Most upgrades need a short reboot. VPS plans are unmanaged, so take your own backup before any change.

How long does VPS setup take?

Automated provisioning usually prepares a VPS within minutes of the order being paid. Orders that need a manual check, such as some payment methods or custom builds, can take longer. Your IP address and login details arrive by email and in the client area.

Do you offer a refund on VPS plans?

No. VPS plans (Linux and Windows) are not refundable because the server is provisioned for you straight away. Eligible shared hosting packages have a 7-day money-back guarantee on the first payment instead. Cancel any time from the client area to stop the next renewal.

Why Near VPS

Why choose Storage VPS from Near VPS?

Make capacity, access control and recoverability part of the same plan.

Capacity comes first

Choose large-capacity storage for file-heavy workloads instead of sizing only around application compute.

Backup destination control

Create an off-site target for your own backup tools and retention policies.

Private access rules

Use SSH keys, service accounts and firewall restrictions to limit who can reach stored files.

Your file application

Install Nextcloud or another file service and allocate memory for its database and background jobs.

Tool-friendly transfers

Use rsync, restic or Borg with software you install and maintain yourself.

KVM environment

Manage storage services within a KVM virtual machine with full root access.

Netherlands placement

Place the primary file store in the Netherlands and plan independent copies in another location.

Protected network entry

DDoS protection complements access controls but does not replace encryption or independent backups.

Plan before expanding

Check disk growth and free space, then ask about upgrade options through the client area.

Quick answer

What is a Storage VPS?

A Storage VPS is a virtual private server built around large disk capacity rather than CPU power. It is used for backup targets, file libraries, archives and self-hosted cloud storage such as Nextcloud. Near VPS Storage VPS plans run on KVM in the Netherlands with full root access to install your own tools.

How to connect to your server over SSH in 3 steps

1Find the server IP address and root password in your welcome email or in the client area.
2Open a terminal (or PuTTY on Windows) and run: ssh root@your-server-ip
3Accept the host key, sign in, then change the password and add your SSH key before going live.
