Offshore Hosting for a Seafile Instance
Seafile is a file sync platform optimized for pure file storage performance - block-level deduplication, fast sync, libraries with optional client-side encryption. For organizations whose primary need is file sync rather than collaboration suites, Seafile is often faster and simpler than Nextcloud. This page covers hosting Seafile on an Anubiz offshore VPS.

Seafile vs Nextcloud
Seafile focuses on file sync. Nextcloud is a platform with file sync as one feature. Seafile has block-level deduplication and a libraries model with optional E2EE per library. For large numbers of files and large sync workloads, Seafile is typically faster.
Sizing
Small team: 2 vCPU 4 GB RAM 160 GB NVMe. Medium team (50 users, 1 TB data): 4 vCPU 8 GB RAM with attached block storage. Memcached recommended for production. Postgres or MariaDB backend.
Anubiz binding
Anubiz offshore VPS plans from $17.90/mo. Storage-heavy plans for libraries with large data sets. Crypto payment, no KYC. Internal links: /en/hosting-for-nextcloud-offshore, /en/hosting-for-owncloud-offshore.
E2EE library caveat
Seafile's per-library E2EE protects file contents from server-side reading but does not protect metadata (file names, sizes, modification times). For full E2EE including metadata, Cryptomator atop any storage is the higher-security pattern.
