Who Uses a Storage VPS?

From solo developers to enterprise backup teams - if your work involves keeping data safe and accessible, this is built for you.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Automate daily or hourly backups of servers, databases, and applications to dedicated NVMe storage. Restore fast - no waiting for cloud retrieval queues or paying per-GB.

Media & Video Production

Store raw footage, finished renders, and project archives without capacity anxiety. Stream files directly to editing workstations via SFTP or rclone at NVMe speeds.

E-Commerce Archives

Keep product image libraries, order history exports, and customer data backups on isolated storage that you control. No shared-platform limits, no surprise overage charges.

Developer Data Pipelines

Stage large datasets, database dumps, and ML training sets on a server you can mount, script against, and automate from any CI/CD pipeline.

Archival & Compliance Storage

Long-term document retention, audit log storage, and compliance archives - on infrastructure in a known jurisdiction with full access logs and snapshot support.

Hosted File Distribution

Run an SFTP server, a private file-sharing endpoint, or an rsync mirror. Dedicated storage and high-availability bandwidth support reliable transfer performance for large file volumes, subject to fair use where applicable.

Why Choose Virtarix Cloud VPS Hosting

Launch faster with cloud VPS hosting built for speed, flexibility, and reliability. Virtarix combines NVMe-powered performance, instant resource scaling, and dependable infrastructure to give developers, businesses, and growing projects the stable foundation they need without the limits of traditional hosting.

3,000+ MB/s Sequential Read

Our NVMe-only storage nodes deliver sustained sequential read speeds above 3,000 MB/s - fast enough to stream 4K, serve large datasets, and transfer terabytes without queuing.

RAID Protection Built In

Every storage VPS instance runs on a RAID array. Drive failures will not cause data loss. Your data remains intact and accessible while the array rebuilds automatically.

True Isolation - Your Own Instance

No shared drives, no resource contention. Your storage is allocated exclusively to your instance. Other tenants on the same node cannot read, access, or affect your data.

Virtarix Cloud VPS stack

Instant Plan Upgrades - Zero Downtime

Outgrow your current plan? Upgrade to the next tier in minutes from the control panel. Your instance stays live, your data stays in place, and the new storage is available immediately.

On-Demand Snapshots — Point-in-Time Recovery

Take a snapshot of your server at any time from the control panel. Restore a file, a directory, or the entire volume to any previous snapshot in seconds.

Full Root Access - No Platform Lock-In

You have unrestricted root SSH access from the first minute of provisioning. Install any tool, configure any service, and automate any workflow without platform-imposed restrictions.

Paying Per Gigabyte to Access Your Own Data?

Paying Per Gigabyte to Access Your Own Data?

Object storage platforms like S3 charge egress fees every time you retrieve a file. A storage VPS gives you the same NVMe capacity - at a flat monthly rate, with no retrieval cost, ever.

DigitalOcean’s closest storage-optimised plan starts at $131/mo for 300 GB. Virtarix Storage VPS S gives you 200 GB NVMe at $8.00/mo - with RAID redundancy, full root SSH access, and bandwidth included, subject to fair use. No egress fees. No surprise invoices. No platform lock-in. Your data is on a server you control, running software you choose, transferring at 3,000+ MB/s - not sitting behind an API rate limiter.

Live in Under 5 Minutes. Seriously.

No complicated provisioning. No waiting on a sales call. Pick a plan, deploy, and start moving data.

Frequently asked questions

What is a storage VPS?

A storage VPS is a virtual private server built specifically for large-scale data storage. Unlike a standard cloud VPS, it pairs high-capacity NVMe drives with generous RAM and unlimited bandwidth, making it the right fit for backups, media archives, file hosting, and data-heavy applications.

How does a storage VPS differ from regular VPS hosting?

A regular VPS is optimised for CPU throughput and running applications. A storage VPS trades some raw compute for significantly more disk - our Storage VPS S ships with 200 GB NVMe versus the 50 GB NVMe on a comparable Cloud VPS S - while keeping the same unlimited bandwidth, root access, and full OS control.

How quickly will my storage VPS be online after I order?

Provisioning completes in under 5 minutes. You will receive login credentials and an IP address by email the moment the instance is ready. No manual intervention is required.

Can I scale my storage VPS as my data grows?

Yes. You can upgrade to a larger plan (Storage VPS M, L, XL, or XXL) with no downtime and no data migration. The upgrade applies to a live instance and takes effect within minutes.

Is my data safe on a storage VPS?

Yes. All storage VPS plans run on RAID-protected NVMe arrays, which tolerate drive failures without data loss. On-demand snapshots are available from the control panel, a cloud firewall is included at no extra cost, and DDoS mitigation is active at the network layer by default.

How many snapshots can I take, and are they included?

You can take on-demand snapshots at any time from the control panel. Snapshot storage is billed separately at standard volume rates. There is no hard cap on snapshot count - you can keep as many as your allocated snapshot quota allows.

What are the NVMe read/write speeds I can expect?

Virtarix storage VPS nodes use enterprise NVMe arrays delivering sequential read speeds above 3,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds above 2,000 MB/s under normal load. Real-world throughput on your instance will vary based on concurrent workload and block size.

Can I transfer my existing data to a storage VPS easily?

Yes. The most common methods are rsync over SSH, rclone (supports S3, SFTP, FTP, and many others), and SFTP clients like Filezilla. All Virtarix storage VPS plans include full SSH root access from the moment of provisioning.

What operating systems can I run on a storage VPS?

You can deploy AlmaLinux, Arch Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, or Windows Server from the control panel in one click. Custom ISO deployments are also supported on request for compatible builds and specialised environments.

Is there a bandwidth limit or data transfer cap?

All Virtarix storage VPS plans include bandwidth subject to fair use. There are no per-GB transfer fees and no throttling. Normal usage patterns are fully covered under the flat plan price.

The cost is the most exciting thing. Great value. The reliability was phenomenal. Ease of maintenance and simplicity of use also makes this a home run.

Beele saeed Sep 10, 2024

Exceptional Service and Support!

Exceptional Service and Support! I had an outstanding experience with this company from start to finish. The team, especially Peter, was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process of setting up multiple servers. They were quick to respond to all my queries, provided a smooth transition when I needed to change server locations, and even customized the setup to meet my needs perfectly. The pricing was fair, and the service has been top-notch. Everything was activated without a hitch, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance of the servers. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for reliable and efficient server hosting. Will definitely continue working with them!

Really impressed with the Storage VPS performance

I signed up for Virtarix’s cheapest Storage VPS to back up a family member’s large e-commerce sites, and I have been really impressed with the performance. It is fast, and having a server in Johannesburg, South Africa is a big plus. The pricing is also much lower than other local storage options I looked at. I am very happy with the VPS performance and would gladly recommend Virtarix.
