Twice the NVMe. Same dedicated cores.
When disk capacity is the bottleneck, paying for compute you do not need is wasteful. Storage Optimized VPS plans give you reserved cores plus 2x the NVMe per GiB RAM compared to Dedicated CPU. Seven plans from 8 GiB to 128 GiB RAM, with up to 3.2 TB of NVMe storage, fully managed since 2001. Free migration from your current host.
Storage Optimized VPS, explained
A Storage Optimized VPS is a managed virtual private server with reserved CPU cores plus disproportionately large NVMe storage. Storage Optimized Cloud Cubes ship with the same dedicated cores as our Dedicated CPU tier, plus 2x the NVMe per GiB RAM, sized for workloads where disk capacity is the binding constraint.
Most managed VPS sizing assumes balanced workloads: a bit of disk, a bit of RAM, a bit of CPU. That works for web apps, databases, and most SaaS. It stops working the moment your bottleneck becomes disk capacity. Backup destinations, media servers, multi-tenant file platforms, log aggregation systems, and large databases need disk that scales independently of RAM. Paying for memory you do not need just to get more disk is wasteful. Storage Optimized fixes that by giving you 2x the NVMe per GiB RAM at every plan size.
You still get every operational feature: 24/7 monitoring, security patching, daily backups, mail gateway, free migration. The CPU model is identical to Dedicated CPU (reserved cores, no oversubscription), and the storage is real local NVMe with full I/O throughput. Storage Optimized Cloud Cubes are the right fit when your bottleneck is disk capacity, when you need a backup destination with real NVMe performance, or when you serve large files at scale.

Match your workload to the storage shape
Storage Optimized Cloud Cubes work best when disk capacity is the binding constraint, not RAM or CPU. Below are the four most common workloads where 2x NVMe per GiB RAM actually pays off. If your situation matches one of these, Storage Optimized is likely the right tier.
You need a remote backup target for production servers, databases, or client workloads. Object storage is too slow for restore and your backup software wants real block-level NVMe. You also want predictable monthly cost instead of per-GB billing surprises.
Recommended size: Storage 16GB or 32GB
You serve video, podcast archives, design assets, or user uploads at scale. Self-hosted Plex, Immich, Jellyfin, or in-house DAM systems eat disk fast. Object storage adds latency and per-request fees, while real NVMe delivers consistent stream and seek performance.
Recommended size: Storage 32GB or 64GB
You run Nextcloud, Seafile, FileRun, or a custom file-sharing platform where each user gets dedicated storage. Per-tenant disk adds up fast, and reserved cores keep the platform responsive when many users sync simultaneously.
Recommended size: Storage 32GB or 48GB
You run centralized logging (Elasticsearch, Loki, OpenSearch) or large databases with retention windows that grow on disk faster than they grow in RAM. You need dedicated cores for ingest plus disk that scales independently from memory.
Recommended size: Storage 64GB or 128GB
Picking the right tier
Storage Optimized sits alongside Dedicated CPU in the Cloud Cubes lineup, with the same reserved cores and the same operational stack, but with 2x the NVMe storage per GiB RAM. Here is what that means in practice, and where Storage Optimized genuinely fits versus Dedicated CPU and the tiers below.
Dedicated CPU plans are sized for compute-heavy workloads where RAM and CPU matter more than disk capacity. That ratio works for most database servers, ML inference, and high-traffic SaaS. It stops working the moment your bottleneck becomes disk space, where you find yourself paying for memory you do not need just to get more storage.
Storage Optimized Cloud Cubes give you the same reserved cores as Dedicated CPU plus 2x the NVMe per GiB RAM. A Dedicated 32GB plan ships with 400 GB NVMe; a Storage 32GB plan ships with 800 GB NVMe at the same vCPU and memory level. Same predictable performance, twice the disk. That ratio shift is what makes this tier the right home for backup destinations, media servers, multi-tenant file platforms, and large databases.
The operations stack is identical to every other tier: 24/7 monitoring, security patching, daily backups, mail gateway, free migration, RemarkablePanel for control. The storage is real local NVMe with full I/O throughput, not a slower tier or a network-attached block volume. The CPU model matches Dedicated CPU exactly. Only the per-tier disk allocation changes.

Storage Optimized is the right tier when disk capacity is the binding constraint, when you need a backup destination with real NVMe performance, or when you serve large files at scale.
Storage Optimized is the right call when "more disk per dollar" is worth more than "smallest possible monthly bill."
The wrong tier hurts you twice: you pay for disk capacity you never use, and you do not get the resource shape your workload actually needs. Be honest about your bottleneck.
We tell you this because we would rather you land on the correct tier from day one. Tell us your workload and we will recommend a tier.
Choosing the right tier
Cloud Cubes come in four tiers, each tuned for a different workload shape. The CPU model decides between the first three, and storage capacity decides whether the fourth is the right answer. Here is the honest breakdown of when each tier is the right fit.
From $8/mo · 2 to 16 GiB

The boundary
"Managed hosting" is overused. Some hosts call themselves managed and still leave OS patches, mail config, and security alerts on your plate. Here is exactly what we handle, what stays under your control, and where the line is. No ambiguity.
Server administration, security, monitoring, and operations are our job, included in your plan.
Your business, your code, your data. We do not touch these without your explicit authorization.
No surprise support tickets, no scope creep. These are deliberately outside the managed scope.
Question we did not cover?
Talk to a humanThis is what "managed" should mean. Compare it to providers who call themselves "managed" while leaving security patches as your job. Those are not actually managed.
Included free with every Cube
On most managed VPS hosts, your server runs the control panel, DNS server, and backup engine alongside your actual workload, eating CPU, RAM, and disk before you host a single site. RemarkablePanel moves all three to our shared infrastructure at no charge. Your VPS runs only what matters: web, mail, and databases.
Traditional VPS
Your Cloud Cube
The web UI, account database, billing integration, and admin services all run on our shared cluster. You get a full-featured panel without it consuming a single MB of your VPS RAM or a single percent of your CPU. cPanel-style power without the cPanel-style overhead.
Authoritative DNS for every domain on your account runs on our geographically distributed name servers. Faster lookups for visitors worldwide, automatic failover if a region goes down, no DNS daemon eating memory on your server, and no DNS hijacking risk if your VPS is ever compromised.
Daily snapshots and off-site backups run on dedicated backup hardware, not your VPS. No CPU spikes during backup windows, no disk I/O contention slowing your site, and no backup-induced load average alerts at 3am. Restores happen the same way: from our infrastructure, not yours.
The category question
Before choosing a tier, choose a category. These three hosting types are not really competitors, they solve different problems for different buyers. Pick the wrong category and tier choice will not save you.
| Feature | Shared Hosting | Managed VPS Cloud Cubes | Unmanaged Cloud DigitalOcean / Linode / Vultr |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resources | Shared with hundreds of others | 100% allocated to you | 100% allocated to you |
| Server administration | Provider-managed | Provider-managed | Your responsibility |
| Security patching | Provider | Provider | Your responsibility |
| Monitoring and alerts | Basic uptime only | 24/7 proactive | DIY (you set it up) |
| Performance under load | Throttled at peak | Consistent | Consistent (if you tune it) |
| Custom software | Limited | Most stacks supported | Anything (you install it) |
| Root access | No | Available on request | Yes (default) |
| Mail gateway and antispam | Basic, shared | Rspamd, dedicated | You configure it |
| Migration help | Rarely free | Free, full handoff | Not included |
| Best for | Personal blogs, simple sites | Agencies, eCommerce, SaaS, growing businesses | Teams with DevOps capacity |
| Typical cost | $3 to $15/month | From $8/mo (Basic, annual) | $5 to $20/month + your time |
A personal blog, a brochure site, a hobby project. Most CloudCubes customers came from shared hosting after outgrowing it. If your site is still small and growing slowly, shared hosting is a fine starting point.
This is where most growing businesses land. Dedicated RAM, dedicated storage, predictable performance, full operations included. The right answer for agencies, eCommerce stores, SaaS in early traction, and serious WordPress workloads.
DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr are excellent if you have the operations capacity to run them. The dollar savings vs managed are real, but the time cost is real too. Make sure that math works for you before signing up.
Pricing transparency
The honest answer: most price differences come down to what is actually included and what kind of disk you actually get. A $96 unmanaged VPS with 800 GB of network-attached block storage and a $186 fully managed Storage 32GB with 800 GB of real local NVMe are not the same product. Here is what each price tag actually covers, with no asterisks.
Listed price is the total. No upgrades to read your email, no fee to talk to a human, no surprises on month two.
DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, and Hetzner advertise high-storage VPS instances from around $96/mo at this tier, but most use network-attached block volumes that cost extra and run slower than local NVMe.
Honest disclosure: a few things are not in the base price. Most customers do not need them, but you should know what they are.
Have a specific cost question?
Ask before you commitThe honest comparison is not "$186/mo Storage 32GB vs $96/mo unmanaged VPS with block storage." It is "$186/mo with real local NVMe and operations included" versus "$96/mo plus $80/mo in block storage volume fees plus $100 to $500/mo in management add-ons or your own DevOps engineer's time." When you do the actual math, managed storage VPS wins anywhere disk performance and predictable cost both matter.

Verified reviews
Real feedback from real businesses. Independently verified on Google and Trustpilot, no edits, no cherry-picking.
After encountering numerous issues with my WordPress site while using other providers, a friend recommended RemarkableCloud to me. It's been two years since I made the switch, and I can confidently say I've never looked back. The server is not only fast but also incredibly stable. I haven't experienced any downtime in almost two years. The support team is impressively fast and knowledgeable, always ready to assist.
These people deserve nothing less than a 10/10. They're truly masters in the cloud field.
The tech support is excellent, and they offer very competitive pricing. They also migrated my cPanel VPS to a DirectAdmin VPS without noticeable downtime.
Problem resolution in no more than half an hour for simple issues, and within 4 hours for complex ones. Great service.
Excellent web hosting company. I really love all their products and services. Thank you so much.
Very professional. Fast, friendly, and consistent. Keep it up.
It's been a month since I signed up with RemarkableCloud.com to test their services and technical support. So far everything has been good. I'm happy with the service.
Most hosting SLAs only kick in after uptime drops below 99% or 99.9%, which is 7 to 87 hours of downtime per month before you see anything back. Ours starts from minute one, applied automatically, with no ticket required.
Credits start accumulating from the first minute of downtime. No minimum threshold, no waiting room, no fine print clauses about "scheduled maintenance" or "force majeure."
Credits are applied automatically to your next invoice. You do not need to open a support ticket, submit a claim form, or argue with billing about whether the downtime really happened.
While other hosts calculate fractions of a percent, we guarantee 5x compensation in service credit. It is not a marketing claim. It is written into the contract you sign when you order.
Typical hosting SLA
Credits only trigger after uptime drops below 99% or 99.9%. That is 7 to 87 hours of downtime per month before you see anything back, and the credit is usually 1x the lost time.

FAQ
Honest answers about Storage Optimized Cloud Cubes specifically. If your question is not here, send it to us, we will answer it personally and add it to this list.
Yes. Every Storage Optimized plan ships with real local NVMe SSD storage attached directly to the host server, not a network-attached block volume or a slower secondary tier. You get full I/O throughput, low seek latency, and consistent performance under load.
This matters because most "high-storage" cloud VPS offerings use network-attached block storage that runs 2-5x slower than local NVMe in real benchmarks. For backup destinations, media servers, and database workloads, that performance difference is the difference between a usable system and a frustrating one.
The CPU model is identical. Both tiers ship reserved cores with no oversubscription. The only thing that changes is the disk allocation: Storage Optimized gives you 2x the NVMe per GiB RAM at every plan size. A Dedicated 32GB plan ships with 400 GB NVMe; a Storage 32GB plan ships with 800 GB NVMe at the same vCPU and memory.
Same management, same SLA, same operational stack. Storage Optimized costs about 16% more per plan because of the extra disk. If your workload fits within Dedicated CPU's storage allocation, Dedicated CPU is the better fit. If you need more disk than Dedicated CPU offers, Storage Optimized exists for that exact reason.
Yes, this is one of the most common use cases. Storage Optimized works as a remote backup target for Borg, Restic, Duplicity, BackupPC, Rsnapshot, rsync, or any other backup tool that wants real block-level NVMe. You get fast restore times because the storage is local, not network-attached, and predictable monthly cost without per-GB transfer surprises.
You also get free S3 backup storage at 2x your NVMe disk, included. So a Storage 32GB with 800 GB NVMe ships with 1.6 TB of S3 backup storage on top, which gives you an off-site copy of the backups themselves at no additional cost.
Yes, and Storage Optimized is sized exactly for these workloads. Self-hosted file platforms (Nextcloud, Seafile, FileRun) and media servers (Plex, Immich, Jellyfin) all hit a wall when disk grows independently of RAM and CPU. Storage Optimized fixes that by giving you 2x the NVMe per GiB RAM with reserved cores for sustained sync, transcoding, and indexing load.
For typical sizing: Storage 32GB or 48GB handles a Nextcloud instance with 50-200 users comfortably. Storage 64GB or 128GB is appropriate for a Plex or Immich library with 1+ TB of media. We help you tune the application stack as part of the managed service.
It depends on access patterns. Storage Optimized's local NVMe is the right choice when your data needs fast read or write access, when you run an application that expects a real filesystem, or when you need predictable monthly cost without per-request fees. Examples: backup destinations, media servers, file platforms, hot databases.
S3-compatible object storage is the right choice for cold archives that are rarely accessed, where read latency does not matter, and where you only pay for what you store. Object storage is typically $0.005 to $0.02/GB-month, far cheaper than NVMe for true cold data. We can configure S3-compatible storage for you on a smaller VPS plan if that is the better fit.
The NVMe drives we use are enterprise-grade datacenter SSDs delivering hundreds of thousands of IOPS for random reads and writes. Sequential throughput exceeds 3 GB/s on the underlying hardware. Real-world per-VM throughput depends on your plan size and concurrent activity, but is consistently far higher than network-attached block storage.
If you have specific I/O requirements (database write throughput, backup ingest rate, video transcoding bandwidth) we can run a benchmark on a comparable plan and share results before you commit. Tell us your workload and we will set up a test.
No. Storage Optimized uses the same dedicated CPU model as our Dedicated CPU tier, with no oversubscription, no burst credits, and no scheduler-induced throttling. You can sustain 100% CPU usage on every reserved core for as long as your workload requires.
Disk I/O is also not throttled artificially. The local NVMe delivers full hardware throughput per VM. The only thing that can throttle a workload here is the workload itself: poorly tuned application code, inefficient queries, or fundamental application-level bottlenecks. Those we help diagnose when they show up in monitoring.
Yes, every Storage Optimized plan includes daily snapshots with 7-day retention plus off-site remote backups, no extra charge. Snapshots are block-level and fast to restore. Off-site backups run nightly to dedicated infrastructure so your data survives even if the server hardware fails.
You also get free S3 backup storage at 2x your disk size, which on Storage plans is significant: a Storage 64GB with 1.6 TB NVMe ships with 3.2 TB of free S3 backup storage included. Customers with longer retention requirements can request extended retention beyond the included 7 days, billed by storage.
Yes. Free migration is included on every Storage Optimized plan, regardless of where you are coming from (cPanel host, Plesk host, AWS EC2 with EBS, DigitalOcean with block volumes, Hetzner Storage Box, anywhere). Our team handles the move: sites, databases, mail accounts, DNS records, SSL certificates, and crucially, the storage data itself.
For Storage Optimized migrations we plan extra carefully because the data sizes are usually large. We schedule a sync ahead of time to copy bulk data, run an incremental sync at cutover to catch recent changes, then do the final DNS switch at a low-traffic window. Most customers experience zero downtime even when migrating multi-terabyte workloads.
We do not throttle, we do not bill you in surprise overage charges, and we do not suspend your service. Instead, we monitor your resource usage and reach out when you are consistently using 80% or more of your allocated RAM, CPU, or disk. We will recommend either an upgrade or a tuning pass to optimize your existing usage.
For network transfer, the included allowance is generous (20 to 320 TB per month depending on plan size). Storage workloads (backups, media serving) can have higher outbound transfer than typical, so we monitor closely and reach out before you hit limits. If you do exceed it, we charge a small per-GB fee that we communicate before applying.
Yes, in either direction. Upgrades within the Storage Optimized tier (8GB to 128GB) are usually planned moves because data volumes are larger than other tiers. We sync your data ahead of time and run a final incremental at cutover. Downgrades follow the same process if your data fits the smaller plan.
Moving between tiers (Storage Optimized to Dedicated CPU, or down to Shared CPU) involves a server move and a data sync, which our team handles for you. There is no fee for upgrades or tier changes, you just pay the difference for the new plan.
30-day money-back guarantee on all Storage Optimized plans. If you sign up and decide we are not the right fit within the first 30 days, we refund your full first payment, no questions asked, no exit fees, no contracts to cancel.
After 30 days, plans are billed monthly or annually depending on your selected cadence. You can cancel anytime through your account dashboard. Annual plans get pro-rated refunds for unused months on cancellation.
