Which server fits which project? Decision guides on VPS, dedicated servers, VPN servers, Windows VPS, storage and location, with price examples from the KernelHost range.

Nextcloud brings users, quotas and shares, the Storage Server brings the space. Together they make a cloud of your own, where a small server is enough and the terabytes live somewhere else.
Space on a web server is expensive, space on a Storage Server is not. This article shows what you can move off, which protocol works from the web server, and how the files reach your visitors securely.

A backup on the same server is not a backup. This guide shows, in fifteen minutes, how WordPress backs itself up over SFTP to a separate Storage Server with a free plugin.
You send a single stream to the server, and the server supplies all viewers from it. Your own line therefore only ever carries one upload, whether ten or a thousand people are watching. This guide covers the setup, the protocols and the bandwidth math behind it.
How to mount your Storage Server like a local disk: on Linux as the directory /storage, on Windows as the network drive storage. Includes a permanent mount and help with error messages.
A VPN service, a WireGuard server you set up yourself or a ready-made Dedicated Private VPN Server: what a VPN does, what it costs and which route suits whom, with a comparison table and a worked example.
Latency, jurisdiction and connectivity: why the server location decides things that no later upgrade can change, what Frankfurt at DE-CIX means for users in Vienna or Munich, and which points to check before you order.
Shared or exclusive hardware, from €9.99 or from €69.99 a month: this comparison uses the four KernelHost server classes to show which server fits which project, with price tables, a decision matrix and three worked examples.
