Another cloud hosting option, from OVH: https://hubic.com/en/ (25GB free, 100GB for â10 incl. VAT/year or 10TB for â50 incl. VAT/year.)They have a data centre in Gravelines, France just the other side of the channel and from my brief tests at least the VPS servers seems low latency. (This also applies to my last email for dedicated servers.)
For services like DropBox, Google Drive, etc you'll want to use end-to-end encryption to keep your data private (per-file PGP encryption, encrypted LUKS volume in a file, etc). It doesn't really matter about the provider then (and you can't ever be sure about access and security unless you have control over the hardware and network and even then your cloud storage is still connected to the Internet).
Here's how ownCloud employs encryption: https://owncloud.org/blog/how-owncloud-uses-encryption-to-protect-your-data/ On 14/04/16 08:13, Richard Brown wrote:
Hi I have read further and there are some interesting discussions around the topic of hosting for OwnCloud. 1. Host it yourself - if you don't you're just giving the keys of your data to some other party rather than Google, Apple, Dropbox, etc. 2. Use a provider - because at least you're managing your own data etc. The thing is if I am to replace Dropbox, Google, etc then I need to have some reliability and I would like to use GB hosting. So I have decided to take a shared data approach. I am going to split my data and use Dropbox to host my movies, I need plenty of space for these and it is not cost effective to find something that large. This is short time only and as soon as I can afford it I will purchase something like a synology and move all my movies to this and run it from home. I mostly watch movies at home anyway. But what I would like to do with the rest of my data is find a server I can install OwnCloud to and run it myself. I'll need around 100gb of space, so it won't be large - large enough I suppose. And this is the question. Does anyone know of hosting that I can use for OwnCloud please? Thanks for any help.

My biggest frustration is I use shared hosting and I cannot get Owncloud on it because of some reliance on something. I'll read through the bits and pieces though and maybe see if I can run Owncloud from home.
