S3-Compatible Object Storage from Web Hosts and VPS Providers

S3-compatible object storage from web hosting and VPS providers

If you already rent servers from a hosting or VPS company, there is a good chance they also sell S3-compatible object storage right next to your droplets, instances, or dedicated boxes. Keeping storage with your compute reduces latency and often avoids cross-provider egress. This page lists the hosting and VPS object-storage services, their endpoint formats, and how to connect each one.

This is one category in our complete list of S3-compatible storage providers. DigitalOcean Spaces has a preconfigured connector in Blober; the rest use the generic S3-Compatible connector. Confirm endpoints in each provider's console, since regions change over time. The endpoint formats below come from each provider's own documentation, cross-checked against current S3 client references[1].

Each entry notes an addressing style. Virtual-hosted puts the bucket in the subdomain (https://my-bucket.s3.example.com); path-style puts it in the URL path (https://s3.example.com/my-bucket). Almost every host here uses virtual-hosted. The endpoint formats below show hostnames; in Blober, include https:// in the endpoint field. The endpoint setup notes explain how Blober picks the right one.

Why use a host's object storage instead of a specialist? Keeping storage with your compute reduces latency and often avoids cross-provider egress charges. If you already run servers at OVHcloud, Hetzner, or Vultr, their object storage is the path of least resistance.

Do these all use the AWS S3 API? Yes. Every provider here exposes an S3-compatible endpoint, so the same S3 tools and SDKs work by changing the endpoint and keys.

Can I move data from DigitalOcean Spaces to another host's object storage? Yes. Blober copies directly between S3 endpoints that support the normal object operations it uses. Set the source and destination and it transfers without staging a full copy on your disk.

Which of these connect to Blober without setup? DigitalOcean Spaces has a preconfigured connector. Every other provider on this page uses the generic S3-Compatible connector: paste the endpoint and keys.

Connect to any host's S3-compatible object storage by URL and move data between providers directly, without filling your local disk.
