Where Are You Running Nextcloud

I don't have it running yet but hope to have it running on an rPi and will setup for my dad to provide a simple place to start things, and maybe do some back up ' USB drive' rotations.

Is there a good reason why I would not run this via VPS hosting? eg, A2 Hosting offers this via softaculous installs

Vultr is the VPS that we use. I think that it is great there.
-
Mine is currently home-use only with ~4 users on it. But It is on my hosted server, off-site.

Speed is a GREAT reason...
I uploaded 2 mp4 files ( 74 & 196 MB)
Vultr upload took 10 secs.
A2 upload took over 7 mins -
Downloading the 196MB file:
Vultr: 1 sec
A2: 1 min.reference: My FIOS connection is 150/150

A2 upload took over 7 minsWow, that is quite the difference!
-
I will try it again just in case A2 was having a bad moment..
I did not expect to see that much of a difference -

I did not expect to see that much of a differenceYeah I've found A2 to be pretty speedy, but I only host a website there.
-
Trying the A2 upload again......not looking very fast
I'm timing w stopwatch.
-
Still waiting...
That upload took 9:29
-
WTF. How is it that slow?

He's on a 150 meg/150 meg connection. It should upload a 150 meg file like that in a few seconds, not a few minutes.
-
@dafyre no kidding. That's ridiculous.
-
I have mine hosted on my dedicated server as a VM with OVH.
-
@dafyre Just because an end user has that kind of bandwidth, doesn't mean any webhost or server provider is going to let one user consume that much just because they can. At any rate, that transfer speed was still really really slow, like measured in Kilobytes per second slow. It doesn't seem right.

How is that relevant to the issue at hand?
Is Vultr not considered a webhost/server provider? -
Cause it's what others were talking about first? A2 was the slow one, didn't mention VULTR.
-
@guyinpv Either you did not read the posts or you missed where I compared A2 to Vultr!
-
Just tried the upload again......speed wins
Vultr: 17 seconds
A2: 8 mins 27 secs
