What it costs elsewhere

Most storage bills are made of two numbers: what you store and what you download. Move the sliders to see a month on each service, using their published list prices.

How we calculated this
  • GlobalHostia: the smallest plan that holds your data; downloads above 3× stored fall under our fair-use policy.
  • Amazon S3 Standard: $23.00 per TB stored per month, $0.09 per GB downloaded; US East; plus $0.005 per 1,000 uploads and $0.0004 per 1,000 downloads. Source
  • Cloudflare R2: $15.00 per TB stored per month, downloads free; plus $4.50 per million writes and $0.36 per million reads after the free tier. Source
  • Wasabi: $7.99 per TB stored per month, downloads free; pay-as-you-go price from 1 July 2026; check Wasabi for minimums. Source
  • Backblaze B2: $6.95 per TB stored per month, $0.01 per GB downloaded; downloads free up to 3× stored, then $0.01 per GB. Source
  • Prices checked 14 November 2026. 1 TB = 1,000 GB for the other services (their billing unit). Request fees, taxes and minimum terms are not included. Prices change; check each provider before you buy.

What people keep in it

Backups that leave the building

Point Veeam, Restic, rclone, Duplicati or your hosting backups at an endpoint in another country. Off-site copies without a second data centre.

Media and downloads

Images, video, PDFs and installers served straight from a bucket, with downloads included up to 3× what you store.

Website and app assets

User uploads and static files for WordPress, Laravel, Next.js and mobile apps, through any S3 SDK.

Blockchain nodes

Chain snapshots so a new node syncs in minutes, archive data, nightly node backups and transaction exports for explorers and audits. The live chain database stays on your VPS NVMe disk.

Logs and analytics

Ship logs and Parquet or CSV exports from servers and pipelines; keep them for months at storage prices.

AI datasets and models

Training data, embeddings and model weights next to your GPU or VPS, pulled with the same S3 tools.

Your tools already speak it

It is the S3 API, so there is nothing new to learn. Create a key in your dashboard, set the endpoint of your region and keep your existing scripts.

  • Buckets, folders, multipart uploads and presigned links
  • Keys per region: read, write or both, one bucket only, with an expiry
  • Usage charts, fair-use meter and activity log in your account
  • Optional console login if you prefer a full file manager
aws configure   # your access key + secret key
aws s3 mb s3://my-backups --endpoint-url https://s3.fra.globalhostia.com
aws s3 sync ./site s3://my-backups/site --endpoint-url https://s3.fra.globalhostia.com

Fair use, in plain words

No surprise bills: the rules fit in four lines.

Uploads and API requests

Free. No per-request fees, ever.

Downloads up to 3× stored

Store 1 TB, download 3 TB a month (at least 3 GB on any plan).

Nothing is cut off

Above fair use we contact you about a bigger plan; we never block downloads automatically.

Your plan size is the limit

When storage is full, uploads pause until you upgrade or delete files. Downloads keep working.

Not for: running a database or a blockchain node's live data directly on storage (use a VPS NVMe disk), or sharing material you have no right to share.

Questions

S3-compatible cloud storage in 14 regions across Europe, Asia and North America. You store files in buckets and reach them with any S3 tool or SDK through your own endpoint, such as s3.fra.globalhostia.com. Plans start at $1.00 a month for 100 GB.
