I’m thinking about hosting owncloud / nextcloud on one of the $5 dedicated servers offered by kimsufi.

They come with:

CPU : Intel ATOM N2800 - 2c/4t - 1.86 GHz/1.86 GHz

Memory : 4 GB DDR3

Storage : 1 x 1 TB HDD SATA none

Public bandwidth : 100 Mbps

Is this enough? I just really like the 1 TB for the price.

My idea is

  1. Host owncloud / samba / sftp on this server.
  2. Use Wasabi’s $7 S3 storage for backup.

My other alternative is to just setup owncloud on a $5 Contabo VPS with S3 storage as primary storage.

Thanks for the suggestion!
