Nextcloud hosting for files your team shares
Nextcloud hosting from NowHosted gives your team a managed Nextcloud instance on your own domain. We run the hosted service, apply updates, and keep backups, with encryption in transit for connections. Storage comes from your hosting plan. Nextcloud runs on Agency and Scale, with server regions in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

Give shared files a managed home
Team files need a place that people can reach and a service that someone maintains. NowHosted manages the hosting behind Nextcloud so your team can use the application without taking on routine server operation. Your own domain gives the workspace an address that fits alongside your other business services.
Your team decides which files belong in Nextcloud, who can access them, and how sharing fits its internal policies. We manage the hosted instance, updates, and backups. The managed hosting page explains this division of responsibility across the service. Clear ownership on both sides keeps file management and hosting management understandable.
- A managed Nextcloud instance for your team.
- Your own domain for the hosted workspace.
- Updates and backups handled as part of hosting.
- Storage drawn from the plan you choose.
02
Choose storage for the whole account
Nextcloud uses storage from your hosting plan. Agency includes 150 GB, and Scale includes 500 GB. Those are plan allocations shared with the other sites and apps you host in the account. Review the space needed by the wider portfolio before assigning it to team files.
Think about the files your team works with and the other applications sharing that allocation. A plan choice should reflect the account as a whole, including websites that also use storage. Our WordPress hosting plans comparison shows the storage, site allowances, and account features together so that you can compare the complete subscription.
| Plan | Storage allocation | Monthly subscription | Yearly billing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agency | Storage allocation150 GB | Monthly subscription149 USD per month | Yearly billing74 USD per month, 888 USD per year |
| Scale | Storage allocation500 GB | Monthly subscription399 USD per month | Yearly billing199 USD per month, 2,388 USD per year |
Choose a plan based on the work the account supports. Agency includes team roles and priority support. Scale adds dedicated resources and further account controls, including SAML SSO and an audit log. These hosting account features are separate from the access permissions your team sets inside Nextcloud.
03
Keep connections encrypted in transit
Connections to the hosted Nextcloud instance use encryption in transit. That protects information as it travels between the service and the people using it. Your own domain gives those connections a consistent destination that your team can recognize and include in its working instructions.
Encryption in transit is a connection protection. Your team still needs clear rules for application access, file sharing, and the devices people use to open documents. Review who can share information and who owns those decisions as people join, change roles, or leave the team.
Our hosting security page describes the wider hosting controls and recovery approach. Use it alongside your own data handling requirements when reviewing Nextcloud for team use. A hosting feature list helps establish the service boundary; it does not replace decisions about which information your team is allowed to store or share.

Keep routine maintenance with the hosting team
We apply updates to the managed Nextcloud instance and keep backups. Your team can focus on the workspace while we handle routine hosting maintenance. As with any business application, keep someone responsible for checking that the workspace continues to fit the way people work and the rules that apply to their files.
Backup retention follows the plan. Agency includes 30-day backups, and Scale includes 90-day backups. Consider the review period your team needs when choosing between them. Backup history gives you recovery points for hosted data, while current permissions and sharing decisions remain part of application management.
If a recovery question comes up, contact [email protected]. Include the affected instance and the change your team is reviewing. You can also export a full backup at any time. Access to your data does not depend on keeping the subscription indefinitely.

Put the workspace close to its audience
Choose North America, Europe, or Asia-Pacific as the server region for the instance. The region is chosen per site, which lets you place a team workspace separately from a public website in the same account. Consider the people who use Nextcloud and your own requirements for where the hosted application runs.
Use your own domain for the workspace. Identify who controls its DNS before a move so the hosting handover has a clear owner. If your team also hosts websites or business applications, cloud hosting explains how region choice and managed hosting fit the wider portfolio.
Bring your files into a reviewed move
Nextcloud runs as an app on Agency and Scale. Start by choosing the plan, domain, and region, then identify the existing instance and the people who can review it. A useful review checks the workspace your team relies on rather than stopping at whether the sign-in page loads.
Our free website migration process uses secure access handover, a staging copy, your review, and DNS cutover with low TTL. Migration has zero downtime, and the old host stays untouched until you cancel it. After the move, your team keeps control of file access while we manage the hosted service. You can cancel at any time, with access continuing until the paid period ends.
