Storage hosting guide
Keep backups, archives and shared files organized
Explore the difference between managed file storage and a fully administered Storage VPS before choosing your next service.
Storage, without confusion
File hosting is a different product from a VPS
Shared storage services commonly provide transfer protocols and a file-management panel, but not full root access. This is an informational guide; standalone storage-hosting purchase is not enabled here unless it appears in your WAW VPS catalog.
Collaboration
File delivery
Plan secure uploads, downloads and access permissions for shared content.
Transfer
Protected transfers
Look for SFTP, SCP, Rsync and access controls where the selected service supports them.
The right storage model
Compare capabilities before ordering
Storage hosting
Primarily files and transfer access. Root access and custom daemons may not be available.
Storage VPS
A server environment for custom services, OS access and administration.
Confirm the details
Check storage quota, transfer, backup policy, location and service limits at checkout.
FAQ
Good to know
Does shared storage hosting give me root access?
Not necessarily. Managed or shared storage services may only expose file transfer and control-panel access. Choose a Storage VPS if root access is required, and verify the chosen product.
Can I purchase storage hosting through WAW VPS today?
Only products exposed by your live WAW VPS catalog can be ordered. This page explains storage service choices and does not claim that a separate shared-storage product is currently provisionable.
