CLOUD.HDD storage instances — up to 40 TB and scaling with no restart
The storage-optimized line of instances with capacious HDD storage up to 40 TB in a single instance, at a low cost per gigabyte. Kernel-level virtualization lets us resize resources in real time, with no restart required. Infrastructure across three availability zones in Poland — a perfect fit for backups, archives and large datasets.
Why CLOUD.HDD
Up to 40 TB per instance
Capacious HDD storage and the lowest cost per gigabyte across the instance range. Room for backups, archives and large datasets without overpaying for fast storage.
Scale live with no restart
Kernel-level virtualization lets you change vCPU, RAM and storage in real time — with no restart and not a second of downtime.
Cross-zone replication and DR
Three independent availability zones in the Tricity joined by a 100 Gbps ring. Keep backups and replicas in physically separated buildings — a natural foundation for disaster recovery.
Monthly billing, no contracts
You pay for the actual time an instance runs. No long-term commitments — grow capacity as your data grows.
Data in Poland, GDPR-compliant
Storage exclusively in Polish data centers, with Polish support and contracts. Retention and archiving with full control over where your data lives.
99.99% SLA and monitoring
Guaranteed availability backed by an SLA. Every instance is monitored with Zabbix and we react to alerts proactively, plus reverse-DNS personalisation for IPv4.
What will you run on CLOUD.HDD instances?
Backups and archives
Up to 40 TB of capacity in a single instance means a low cost per gigabyte for backups, long-term retention and archives that follow your data-retention policy.
Large datasets
File repositories, media, logs and datasets where capacity matters more than extreme IOPS — with no overpaying for fast storage.
Traffic spikes
Live resource scaling with no restart lets you absorb sudden load surges — a promotion that takes off, say — without a second of downtime.
Integrated with the Nodea cloud platform
WEB monitoring
Every instance is connected to the app.nodea.io/app platform, where built-in monitoring of sites and services comes as standard. We watch availability and performance proactively, straight from the panel — with no separate tool to deploy.
nodeaD — anti-DDoS with self-healing
Our in-house anti-DDoS system, integrated with monitoring. It detects and blocks attacks proactively, and on failure it triggers self-healing — automatic response and recovery of services before users feel it.
Connection Manager
A cross-platform SSH and RDP agent integrated with app.nodea.io/app. Manage connections to every server from one place, without scattered configurations on individual workstations.
Three availability zones as standard
Instances on a 3-AZ architecture
You run instances across three independent availability zones (3-AZ) in the Tricity. This is an edge most VPS providers don't offer — you design for high availability at the infrastructure level.
100 Gbps fiber ring
The three data centers are joined by a private 100 Gbps fiber ring. Backup replication and traffic failover between zones happen at low latency, within a single metropolitan area.
Resilient to a zone failure
A single facility failure does not stop your services — you keep replicas and backups in physically separated buildings. A natural foundation for a disaster recovery plan.

Instances run on the Proxmox virtualization platform. Operating systems to choose from: CentOS 5, CentOS 6, CentOS 7, Debian 7, Debian 8, Debian 9, Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04. Need a different distribution or configuration? Get in touch.
Availability backed by a 99.99% SLA
We guarantee 99.99% service availability over the year, written into an SLA. Every instance is monitored with Zabbix, and alerts are handled by a technical team made up exclusively of Linux administrators — often before you notice a problem.
Try an instance free for 24 hours
We're confident in the quality of our services, so we let you test them first. Just note in the order that you'd like a trial and we'll spin up your instance free of charge for 24 hours — no strings attached.
We'll migrate you in for free
Every client with a Linux administration plan is migrated free of charge, with no billing for extra admin hours. In our experience a well-executed migration is an investment that pays off in years of successful cooperation.

Frequently asked questions
When should I choose CLOUD.HDD over SSD or NVMe?
CLOUD.HDD instances are storage-optimized: reach for them when capacity and a low cost per gigabyte matter more than extreme IOPS — backups, archives, file repositories, media, logs and large datasets. For latency-sensitive workloads (production databases, caches) choose CLOUD.SSD or CLOUD.NVMe.
Can I really resize resources with no restart?
Yes. Thanks to kernel-level virtualization we change vCPU, RAM and storage on the fly, in real time — with no instance restart and not a second of downtime. This lets you absorb a sudden data spike or traffic surge.
How does CLOUD.HDD support disaster recovery?
Infrastructure runs across three independent availability zones in the Tricity. You can keep backups and replicas in physically separated buildings joined by a 100 Gbps ring, a natural foundation for a disaster recovery plan that protects against the loss of an entire data center.
Does my data stay in Poland?
Yes. All instances run in Polish data centers, with Polish support and contracts — and in compliance with GDPR. You keep full control over where your data is stored.
Can you administer the server for me?
Yes. We offer full Linux administration in four plans — with Zabbix monitoring, proactive incident response, security audits, DR tests and backup storage. We act on monitoring alerts ourselves, so you don't have to report outages.
