Storage VPS vs Cloud VPS vs Object Storage
Use this comparison to decide between hot NVMe storage on a virtual private server, general cloud VPS hosting, and cold or API-first object storage such as Backblaze B2.
| Feature | Object Storage / Cold Archive | Cloud VPS | Storage VPS (Virtarix) |
|---|---|---|---|
|
NVMe disk speed
|
Usually API-first; performance varies by provider and retrieval class. |
Fast NVMe, but smaller disks are tuned for websites and applications. |
All-NVMe hot storage with up to 3.2 TB and 3,000+ MB/s sequential read. |
|
Root / SSH access
|
API access, not a full server shell. |
Full root access for apps, websites, and management tasks. |
Full root access on a private KVM server for storage services. |
|
Bandwidth cost
|
Often charges per-GB egress or retrieval traffic. |
Bandwidth included, but storage capacity is lower. |
Unlimited bandwidth subject to fair use, without per-GB egress fees. |
|
Data isolation
|
Multi-tenant bucket namespace managed by the provider. |
Private VPS resources with smaller general-purpose storage. |
Private server isolation with dedicated storage for your data. |
|
Custom OS / software
|
No custom OS, daemon, website, database, Plex, or Nextcloud stack. |
Good for a website or applications that need more CPU than disk. |
Run Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Nextcloud, Seafile, MinIO, Samba, or SFTP. |
|
Snapshot & backup control
|
Versioning and lifecycle rules, but restore workflows stay provider-specific. |
Backups depend on the plan and available disk space. |
On-demand snapshots plus backup slots for hot recovery workflows. |
|
Pricing predictability
|
Lower cold-storage cost can rise when customers download data often. |
Predictable monthly price, but storage upgrades may be limited. |
Predictable monthly price and cost for storage-heavy workloads from $8/mo. |

Hardware, Network & Security
Every Storage VPS runs on all-NVMe hardware with KVM isolation, root access, network-level DDoS mitigation, IPv4 and IPv6 support, RAID-backed storage, snapshots, and backup options for active data protection.
Why Choose Virtarix for Storage VPS Hosting
Virtarix combines all-NVMe performance, KVM isolation, RAID-backed storage nodes, no per-GB egress fee model, and responsive support for customers running storage-heavy websites, applications, media servers, backups, and data services.
All-NVMe Hot Storage Performance
Storage VPS nodes use NVMe arrays for active workloads, not slow HDD archive tiers. That makes the server suitable for databases, media libraries, websites, images, and private file services that customers access often.
RAID, Snapshots, and Backup Slots
RAID protects the storage layer, snapshots help you recover point-in-time states, and backup slots support safer management for servers, websites, and business data.
Private KVM Server Isolation
Each storage VPS is a private KVM virtual server with root access. Install your own services, connect a domain, manage SSL, monitor traffic, and keep application data separate from other customers.
Upgrade Storage Resources Without Rebuilding
Start with the storage, RAM, and CPU resources you need now, then move to a larger plan when traffic, websites, backups, or applications outgrow the current server.
Predictable Traffic Cost
Use the server for hot backups, customer downloads, images, and media traffic without an object-storage egress-fee model. Bandwidth remains subject to fair-use policy.
Support for Managed and Self-Managed Workflows
Self-manage Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Arch, or Windows, or ask support for help with compatible deployments, custom ISO questions, and server management needs.
Hot Storage vs Cold Storage - Which Do You Need?
Choose hot storage when your server must read, write, and serve files every day. Choose cold archive storage when data is rarely accessed and retrieval delay or egress cost is acceptable.
A Virtarix storage VPS is hot all-NVMe server storage: you can SSH in, run services, mount volumes, automate backups, and serve media or websites directly. Cold archive platforms such as Backblaze B2 can be cost-effective for dormant copies, but they are not a full private server and can add retrieval, API, or traffic management overhead. For Plex, Nextcloud, MinIO, active databases, hot backups, and customer downloads, Storage VPS gives you predictable cost, full root control, and no per-GB egress fee model.
Launch Your Storage VPS in Minutes

Storage VPS Hosting FAQ
What is a storage VPS?
A storage VPS is a virtual private server built for large, active data storage. It gives you root access, an operating system, NVMe storage, RAM, CPU resources, and network traffic for backups, media services, websites, databases, and private file applications.
Should I use Storage VPS or cold archive storage like Backblaze B2?
Use Storage VPS for hot data that your services, customers, websites, or applications access often. Cold archive storage can fit dormant backups, but it is not a full server and may involve retrieval, API, lifecycle, or egress considerations when data is downloaded frequently.
Is the storage HDD, SSD, or NVMe?
Virtarix Storage VPS plans use NVMe storage, not HDD archive disks. The plans are designed for active server workloads that need faster read and write performance than cold storage or low-cost object archive tiers.
How much storage do I get per plan?
Storage VPS plans range from 200 GB NVMe on Storage VPS S to 3.2 TB NVMe on Storage VPS XXL. Intermediate plans include 400 GB, 800 GB, and 1.6 TB options with matching CPU, RAM, bandwidth, snapshots, and backup slots.
Are there egress fees or bandwidth caps?
There are no per-GB egress fees like many object storage services. Storage VPS bandwidth is included subject to fair use, so normal traffic for backups, websites, downloads, and applications is handled under the monthly plan model.
Can I run Plex / Jellyfin / Emby?
Yes. You can install Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, or similar media applications on your storage VPS. Performance depends on your chosen plan, media library size, concurrent streams, and whether your workload requires CPU-heavy transcoding.
Can I run Nextcloud or Seafile?
Yes. A Storage VPS is well suited to self-hosted file platforms such as Nextcloud or Seafile because you get root access, private storage, database control, domain configuration, image previews, and enough bandwidth for active file synchronization.
Can I run MinIO for S3-compatible object storage?
Yes. You can run MinIO or another S3-compatible service on the server if you want object-style APIs on infrastructure you control. You manage the service, credentials, buckets, updates, monitoring, and backup policy.
Are backups included?
Storage VPS plans include backup-slot and snapshot capabilities according to the selected plan. You can also run your own backup tools such as Restic, rsync, rclone, Bacula, Duplicati, or database-specific backup services.
How does Storage VPS compare to your Cloud VPS?
Cloud VPS is best when compute, websites, domain-hosted apps, and general applications are the priority. Storage VPS is better when you need much more NVMe capacity for backups, images, media, customer files, databases, or data-heavy private services while still keeping root access.

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!
