.... have you heard about the cloud? both azure and google cloud works.... or you want the NAS at home physicaly? 

[Needfuldoer]

What exactly do you need it to do?

 

You're probably looking for either cloud file storage or a virtual private server.

"NAS hosting" is basicly only a thing exclusive to enterprise hosting solutions. y'know.. the sort of size where a single customer might be renting several racks worth of hardware.

 

what you're looking for is cloud storage.

 

and if you insist on renting your own box in a datacenter with a bunch of drives in it to act as a NAS somewhere in a datacenter.. be prepared to pay heavy dollarydoos for that..

I used Infomaniak in the past, but they are in Switzerland. https://www.infomaniak.com/en/backup-and-storage/nas-synology

Just search for synology hosting on google and you will find others. It's probably not the cheapest solution for file storage, but if it suits your needs, why not.

 

A local NAS with cloud backup like Snology C2 could also be a good solution, or any other NAS.

Yes, I'm looking for my own box for rent in a datacenter with a bunch of drives in it to act as a NAS somewhere in a datacenter.
I hope that rent it will be more beneficial than buy it.

Also I want that was put at secure datacenter, so no one can turn it off or take it away.

It's only more cost-effective in the short term, because you have a relatively small monthly operating expense instead of buying a server (one big capital expense) and a smaller ongoing hosting charge. Nobody would rent servers if they didn't make money on it.

Look for "server colocation", that's basically renting rack space in a secure datacenter. You usually have to provide the hardware, and if anything breaks and requires hands-on support you arrange with the datacenter company to get access, but the monthly cost is much less than renting the hardware too.

Thank you. I already talked with them.
But I'm looking for my own box for rent in a secure datacenter. May in UK or in USA

I don't think you will be able to rent space for less than you can buy it. Your CCTV system will require a local computer or dedicated device to control and pass the data to the cloud anyways unless you go with a security camera company that provides cloud storage such as Nest, Ring, etc.

Thank you ma

Monthly renting cost looks good for 2*12TB.

 

I hope that I will rent it for 2-3 month, I need to check how whole system will working... And it will be more cost-effective. 
 

"NAS Hosting" it's only secure storage in my case.

I'll pay £94 / month for new Nas box with 2*12Tb.
I think that it's a good price?)

For short term use the rental is a good idea. Let us know how your experience is with their service. I hope it works well for you.
