One tip in the EU is to consider just renting a Hetzner Storage Share. This is a 1TB (or more) Nextcloud that Hetzner manages for you for 5.11 Euros per month.

A Nextcloud can give you many things at once, file syncing, file shares, contact syncing, calendar syncing, etc.

I have been using this for years now after having hosted my own Nextcloud instance. The space and performance they give you for that price is unbeatable with nearly no downsides. The one downside is that you can't just ssh into the server, but you can even run occ managment commands via their web interface. It is an absolute no-brainer.

Had a self hosted nextcloud instance runnning on my homeserver, but migrated away two years ago to a Hetzner Storage share. All in all I'm quite happy with that.

There are some downsides, though:

  - No support for collabora online, so no way for collaborative editing of office files
  - Data is not encrypted

Hetzner also has classical web hosting offerings, which are cheap as well. I'm using that for email and a website of mine.

I had no idea how cheap this was. Thanks.
