My #NextCloud provider (kai.nl.tab.digital) has been down since at least Friday.

I have to admit, this is giving me second thoughts about migrating away from #GoogleDrive .

@juergen_hubert this is a host related problem, nothing to do with Nextcloud itself
I wouldn't let it deter me from usjng NC, but maybe consider a more reliable host, or self hosting on local machine or VPS

@casraf

So how _do_ I identify "a more reliable host"?

This one was recommended as "reliable" to me as well.

@juergen_hubert Hetzner has a good reputation and I've seen many people mention using it and being satisfied over the years. But otherwise I guess do some research into what people online use and what they recommend on Reddit/forums etc

I myself self host on a Linode instance and I haven't had downtime problems, though it does require technical knowledge and the thirst to tinker once in a while, so it's a different lane than having a hosting service manage it for you.

@juergen_hubert btw no shade at your host, it could be a once-in-5-years problem that really screwed them and their customers, and it could be possible that 99.99% of the time they are amazing. Maybe try to contact them to ask what's up before investing time to move off
