  • S3-compatible API endpoint at s3.pidginhost.cloud
  • All-SSD storage - no slow HDD tier
  • Backed by Rook-Ceph with triple replication
  • Per-bucket access keys, public/private visibility
  • No egress fees - pay only for storage used
S3-Compatible API All-SSD Rook-Ceph No egress fees 24/7 RO & EN support

What you get

Every bucket includes a dedicated endpoint, per-bucket access keys, and configurable public or private visibility.

  • Dedicated endpoint: https://s3.pidginhost.cloud
  • Unique Access Key ID and Secret per bucket
  • Quota-based sizing - resize at any time
  • Public buckets for static website hosting or CDN origin
  • Private buckets for backups, logs, and application data

Provision a bucket from the dashboard and start uploading in seconds.

Use cases

Backups & Archives

  • Database dumps, VM snapshots
  • rclone, restic, Velero compatible

Static Assets

  • Images, videos, files served via S3 URL
  • Django Storages / S3 media backend

Application Data

  • Logs, ML datasets, artifact storage
  • GitLab, Loki, Tempo S3 backend

Pricing

Simple per-GB monthly pricing. No egress fees, no request fees, no surprises.

Why higher than typical S3? Our storage pool is 100% SSD. We do not offer a cheaper HDD or cold-storage tier - every byte sits on flash, replicated three times. You pay more per GB, but read/write latency, throughput, and durability match production workloads, not archive use cases.

Object Storage (All-SSD)

Custom pricing

  • 100% SSD pool - single performance tier
  • Billed monthly based on quota allocated
  • Resize up or down at any time
  • No egress fees
  • No per-request fees

How pricing works

You set a quota in GB when creating a bucket. You are billed for the quota allocated, not the data actually stored.

Example

  • 100 GB bucket - contact us for pricing
  • Resize to 200 GB and billing updates next cycle

All prices in EUR, VAT excluded where applicable.

Quick start

Create a bucket in the dashboard, then connect with any S3-compatible tool.

boto3 (Python)

import boto3

s3 = boto3.client(
    "s3",
    endpoint_url="https://s3.pidginhost.cloud",
    aws_access_key_id="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
    aws_secret_access_key="YOUR_SECRET_KEY",
)

s3.upload_file("file.txt", "my-bucket", "file.txt")

AWS CLI

aws configure set aws_access_key_id YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
aws configure set aws_secret_access_key YOUR_SECRET_KEY

aws s3 ls s3://my-bucket \
  --endpoint-url https://s3.pidginhost.cloud

aws s3 cp file.txt s3://my-bucket/ \
  --endpoint-url https://s3.pidginhost.cloud

FAQ

Yes. The endpoint implements the AWS S3 API via Rook-Ceph RGW. Use any S3-compatible client: boto3, awscli, rclone, MinIO client, or Django Storages.

No. You only pay for the GB quota you allocate. There are no egress fees and no per-request charges.

Yes. You can resize your bucket quota at any time from the control panel. Billing adjusts on the next cycle.

After creating a bucket, reveal your Access Key ID and Secret Key from the bucket detail page in the control panel. Keys are unique per bucket.

Data is stored on Rook-Ceph with triple replication across nodes. Objects are protected against single-node failure by default.

Because the entire storage pool is SSD. Most low-cost S3 offerings rely on spinning HDDs or mixed cold-storage tiers - we deliberately do not. Every bucket sits on flash with triple replication, so latency and throughput stay consistent for active workloads (databases, ML pipelines, media serving, application data) rather than being optimised for archive use. If you need cheap cold storage, this is not the right product. If you need fast, predictable S3 in Romania, it is.
