Files stay on your box

Sync clients write to a VPS you own. No vendor scanning, no backup cloud, no opaque retention policies.

NVMe + 40 Gbps speed

Two flavors

ownCloud Server.
Or Infinite Scale.

Use cases

Built for teams
that own their data.

File sync & share

Replace Dropbox or OneDrive with a server you own. Native sync clients on every desktop and mobile platform; same UX, your data.

Enterprise-grade self-host

Audit-friendly logs, granular permission control, federated sharing across multiple ownCloud servers. Pick a region that matches your compliance needs.

WebDAV-first integrations

ownCloud's WebDAV-native model means it integrates cleanly with macOS Finder, Windows Explorer, and Linux file managers as a remote drive.

Backup target

Use ownCloud as a sync target for restic, rclone, Duplicati, or any S3-compatible backup tool. Pin a region close to your servers for fast restores.

Public download links

Share large files via password-protected expiring links. No file size limit other than disk space, no third-party cloud middleman.

Infinite Scale microservices

Try the Go-based oCIS rewrite, single binary, zero database, microservice ready. Run it behind Caddy and you're done in 10 minutes.

FAQ, ownCloud VPS

Common questions, straight answers.

What is ownCloud?
ownCloud is the open-source file sync and share platform that started the self-hosted cloud movement in 2010. It's the predecessor to Nextcloud and remains a popular pick for organizations that prefer ownCloud's enterprise focus, WebDAV-first architecture, and Infinite Scale (oCIS) Go-based rewrite. Self-hosted, with no per-user subscription fee on the community edition.

Is ownCloud free?
ownCloud Community edition is free and AGPL-licensed. ownCloud Server (PHP) and ownCloud Infinite Scale (Go) both run on a Cloudzy VPS. Enterprise licenses with premium support are available directly from ownCloud GmbH if you need them, but the community edition is fully featured for most teams.

ownCloud or Nextcloud, which should I pick?
If you want a Go-based, microservice architecture and an enterprise-leaning roadmap, ownCloud Infinite Scale is the modern path. If you want a wider community and a long list of bundled apps (Talk, Office, Mail, etc.), Nextcloud is more popular. Both run great on a Cloudzy VPS.

How much storage do I get?
Plans start at 20 GB NVMe and scale to 1.5 TB on the 64 GB tier. ownCloud also supports any S3-compatible storage as primary backend, so you can keep cold files on cheap object storage and only put the metadata DB on NVMe.

Will ownCloud sync clients work?
Yes. ownCloud ships native sync clients for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, all of which speak WebDAV against your VPS. Setup takes a domain, an HTTPS cert, and a username, under 5 minutes per device.

Can I install ownCloud myself?
Yes. Both ownCloud Server (PHP + Apache + MariaDB) and ownCloud Infinite Scale (single Go binary) ship Docker images. The Go binary is especially fast, one container, one config file, no database setup. We provide stock Ubuntu images on every plan.

Do I need HTTPS?
Yes. ownCloud refuses plain HTTP for security. Point your domain at the VPS, install Caddy or Nginx, and Let's Encrypt issues a free SSL certificate in under a minute. The reverse proxy guides on docs.owncloud.com cover both Server and Infinite Scale.

What's the migration path from ownCloud to Nextcloud?
Both projects share a database schema lineage, and migration tooling exists for both directions. If you're not sure which to pick, run a 14-day trial, you can switch within the money-back window with no charge on the VPS.

Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes, 14 days from purchase, no questions asked, full refund on the VPS. Apply from the panel or email [email protected].
