A terabyte a slice, up to thirty-two.
A server built for capacity rather than speed. Each slice adds a full terabyte of SATA storage on ZFS, with root SSH to put whatever you like on it — backups, archives, media libraries, anything that has outgrown the disk it is on.
- 1 TB of SATA storage per slice
- Root SSH, command line only
- Billed monthly, cancel any time
One terabyte to thirty-two
The same slices, a different disk. Pick the one that matches the work.
The same slice, with a terabyte on it
A slice here costs what a slice costs on our Linux servers. What changes is the disk: a full terabyte of SATA capacity instead of 40 GB of SSD, because this product is for holding data rather than serving it fast.
On ZFS arrays with special vdevs, to 32 TB at the largest size.
Added for each slice, to 64 GB at the largest size.
A CPU core arrives with every second slice, so 12 slices is 6 cores.
Over a shared 10 Gbps port, to 64 TB at the largest size.
Capacity can grow a slice at a time, but most filesystems cannot be shrunk again without a reinstall — so if you are unsure, start smaller and add.
One terabyte to thirty-two, and the price in a straight line
Drag through the thirty-two sizes and the capacity and the price follow. The thirty-second terabyte costs exactly what the first one did.
Every tile is one terabyte, and every terabyte costs the same — the thirty-second as much as the first.

Prices exclude tax and are billed monthly — there is no yearly commitment and no yearly discount on this product. Sizes of 12 slices and above include managed support.
Three sizes that suit most data sets
Adding capacity later costs the same as buying it today, and shrinking is the hard direction, so start below what you think you need.
A first terabyte
Somewhere to send one server's backups, or a project archive that has outgrown the machine it lives on.
- 1 TB of SATA storage
- Root SSH and a static IP
- The cheapest terabyte we sell
A working archive
Several servers' backups, a media library, or a shared file store for a team.
- 6 TB, with room to add more
- Enough for a real backup rotation
- Grow a terabyte at a time
Managed from here
The size where our engineers start looking after the server with you, at no extra charge.
- Managed support included
- We help with services and panels
- 12 TB, and still one price per terabyte
Capacity first, and honestly not speed
This is the wrong server for a busy database and the right one for everything you need to keep. We would rather say which is which than sell you the wrong one.
- 1
Good for backups and archives
Server backups, project archives, media libraries, large file collections and storage-heavy internal tools. Move data with rsync over SSH, SFTP, SCP or FTP over TLS.
- 2
Not for high-speed disk work
The disks are SATA, not SSD. A busy database or a high-traffic application belongs on Linux Cloud Compute, where the storage is NVMe-class SSD.
- 3
ZFS underneath
The arrays use ZFS with special vdevs, which is what makes pools this large behave predictably. Redundancy protects the hardware — it does not protect you from deleting a file.
If you only need somewhere to put backups and would rather not run a server at all, Cloud Share is managed storage with sharing built in.
What comes with every size
The same platform underneath whether you take one terabyte or thirty-two.
Root SSH, command line
Root access over SSH is ready when the server is. Nothing graphical is preinstalled — no desktop and no remote desktop.
ZFS storage arrays
Large pools with special vdevs for metadata, which is what keeps consistency and redundancy sane at this capacity.
Static IP, 10 Gbps port
Addresses are assigned statically and do not change after setup, on a shared 10 Gbps port sized for moving data.
Grow a slice at a time
Add capacity when the data set does. Most filesystems cannot shrink again without a reinstall, so grow rather than guess.
A panel, if you want one
A control panel is available on request. Tell us when you order and we will install it rather than leaving you to it.
Managed from 12 slices
At 12 slices and above, engineers help with failed services, control panels and common server problems.
Three United States regions
Pick the one closest to whatever is sending the data. All three cost the same and carry the same specification.
New York City
The east coast default, and the shortest hop to Europe.
Dallas
Central United States, and the most even latency across the country.
Los Angeles
The west coast, and the shortest hop to Asia and the Pacific.
This platform is United States only. For a backup target, the region matters less than the bandwidth at your end — ask us if you are unsure.
Which of the three compute pages?
All three are sized in the same slices at the same price per slice. What differs is what the slice buys.
A terabyte of SATA per slice, on ZFS. For anything you need to keep rather than serve quickly.
40 GB of SSD per slice. The general-purpose choice for websites, applications and databases.
The same SSD slices with Windows Server and Remote Desktop, and the licence in the price.
Shared storage with a control panel and one-click Nextcloud, up to 20 TB. No root, and the cheapest terabytes we sell.
Managed storage with sharing, sync and a web interface, if you would rather not run a server at all.
Questions about Storage Cloud Compute
The things people ask before they order.
How fast is the storage?
It is SATA, not SSD, and the page says so on purpose. It is sized for capacity and for moving large files, not for the random reads and writes a busy database does. If you need fast disk, Linux Cloud Compute is the one to take.

Start at a terabyte. Grow from there.
Tell us what you are storing and how it gets there, and we will tell you the size to start at — including when the honest answer is that you want faster disk instead of more of it.
