Optional Add-ons for Bare Metal ECO Storage Servers
Enhance your ECO STOR server with optional add-ons to tailor your solution to your specific requirements:
Extra Public Bandwidth
Need more monthly speed? Increase your server's monthly public bandwidth to accommodate high-traffic Gbps applications, accelerate data transfers, and ensure optimal performance for demanding workloads - thanks to our high Gbps hosting location.
Additional IPs for Expanded Connectivity
Expand your network capabilities by adding extra IPv4 addresses to your server. This allows you to host multiple websites or services on a single machine, enhance security through IP-based access control, and improve network flexibility.
Extra Backup Space for Data Security
Fortify your data protection strategy with additional backup storage. Safeguard even larger volumes of critical data, ensuring comprehensive backups and disaster recovery capabilities for your valuable information.
Backup Methods Available on Cheap Storage Servers
Protecting your valuable data is paramount when you buy storage hosting. ECO STOR servers offer a range of backup methods to suit your needs and ensure your information remains secure:
Standard Data Backup
Create full system backups, capturing all files and data at a specific time. This provides a comprehensive snapshot for disaster recovery and allows you to restore your server to a known good state in case of data loss.
Differential Backup Options
Optimise your backup strategy with differential backups. This method only backs up the data that has changed since the last full backup, reducing storage space requirements and speeding up the backup process.
Incremental Backup for Efficient Storage
Maximise storage efficiency with incremental backups. This approach backs up only the changes made since the last backup (full, differential, or incremental). It minimises storage consumption and allows for frequent backups with minimal resource impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand you might have questions about our ECO STOR servers. Here are answers to some common queries:
When can I order additional options?
You have the flexibility to order additional options for your ECO STOR server at various stages:
- During initial order: When you first configure and order your server, you can customise it with add-ons like extra Gbps bandwidth, more DDR RAM, additional IP addresses, or increased backup storage. This allows you to tailor your server to your needs from the outset.
- After server delivery: Even after your server is delivered, you can easily add options through your OVHcloud control panel. Simply navigate to your server's management page and select the desired add-ons. This provides ongoing flexibility to scale your resources as your needs evolve.
- Through the API: For automated management, you can also utilise the OVHcloud API to programmatically add options to your server. This is particularly useful for developers and system administrators who want to integrate server management into their applications or scripts.
No matter when you choose to enhance your server, the process is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly for options like more DDR RAM or higher Gbps!
What’s the benefit of the vRack private network for storage?
The vRack private network is a powerful feature to buy that significantly enhances the capabilities of your ECO STOR server, especially in storage-focused scenarios. Here are some key benefits:
- Secure data transfer: vRack creates an isolated private network between your OVHcloud services and storage servers. This means your data travels within this secure network, shielded from the public internet, reducing the risk of interception or unauthorised access.
- High-speed connectivity: vRack offers high-speed connectivity between your servers and other OVHcloud services, enabling rapid data transfers for backups, replication, and other storage-related tasks. This is crucial for maintaining efficient workflows and minimising downtime.
- Multi-datacenter connectivity: With vRack, you can connect your storage server to other servers or services in different OVHcloud datacenters. This facilitates geographically redundant backups, disaster recovery strategies, and distributed storage solutions.
vRack enables seamless integration with your on-premises infrastructure or other cloud providers, allowing you to build hybrid cloud solutions. This opens possibilities for data synchronisation, offsite backups, and flexible data management across different environments.
Furthermore, vRack simplifies network management by providing a centralised platform to configure and control your private network connections. This streamlines administration and reduces complexity, especially when dealing with multiple servers and services.
