Why Nextcloud from 24h-Hosting?

We don't run your Nextcloud “somewhere in the cloud” but in our own data center in Germany – including updates, monitoring and optional managed services.

  • Your data stays in Germany. German data centre, German law, your data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR.
  • We take care of operations. Updates, backups, monitoring and security checks – as a managed package on request.
  • Predictable costs without licensing traps. No sudden price jumps, no feature tiers that turn business users into “E3/E5”.
  • Scales with your team. From a team of five to a mid-sized company – we size it right and grow with you.
  • Open source, no vendor lock-in. You can export your data at any time and take over the platform yourself.

Quick start

A fresh start – without a migration project

You don't have to spend months migrating first. We provide your Nextcloud ready to use – you only move the data your team really needs. That saves time and money and avoids a lot of legacy clutter.

  • Platform ready to use: installation, configuration, users & apps are set up
  • Easy file transfer: drag & drop or desktop sync – from OneDrive, SharePoint or local folders
  • Calendars & contacts compatible: CalDAV/CardDAV, works with Outlook, Thunderbird & mobile devices
  • Office still works: .docx, .xlsx, .pptx directly in the browser via OnlyOffice / Collabora
  • Keep using your existing SSO: LDAP, SAML or OIDC – matching your IdP

Note: we do not run elaborate migration projects with chat exports etc. – for most teams that route isn't worth it anyway. A clean restart with clear structures is faster and cheaper in practice.

FAQ

Answers to common questions about Nextcloud and switching from MS Teams.

Contact support

Nextcloud is an open-source platform for chat, video, files, calendars and office. You run it in your own data center environment (with us, in Germany) – instead of in someone else's cloud. The user interface is integrated, similar to Teams, but without licensing lock-in and with full data sovereignty.

We deliberately do not run elaborate migration projects – in practice they're rarely worth it. Instead, we go for a clean restart: we provide your Nextcloud ready to use, and you bring over the data you actually need yourself. Files can be transferred via drag & drop or desktop sync from OneDrive/SharePoint; calendars & contacts are compatible with Outlook and mobile devices via CalDAV/CardDAV.

Both OnlyOffice and Collabora Online are available. Both offer docs, sheets and slides directly in the browser, with real-time collaboration. Formats such as .docx / .xlsx / .pptx are opened and saved compatibly.

Yes – via Nextcloud Talk: audio and video calls, screen sharing, guest links for external participants. For larger conferences (many participants) we use appropriately sized Talk HPB servers (High Performance Backend).

Depending on the package, we take care of updates, backups, monitoring and security checks – you don't have to worry about the underlying infrastructure. Your own admins still have access, so you can manage apps and settings yourself.

Yes. It is hosted in our data center in Germany, a data processing agreement is available, and the platform itself offers many privacy-relevant features (permission management, audit logs, encryption, 2FA, SSO).
