OnlyOffice VPS Hosting - Private Document Collaboration Offshore
OnlyOffice Docs is the open-source office suite server that integrates with Nextcloud, Seafile, and Owncloud to provide Google Docs-style collaborative editing of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files - without sending documents to Google or Microsoft. Hosting it on an AnubizHost offshore VPS keeps every document on your own infrastructure.

OnlyOffice as a Private Google Docs Replacement
Google Docs is convenient but treats your documents as training data and subjects them to US law. OnlyOffice Docs provides real-time collaborative editing with change tracking, comments, and co-authoring for DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX formats - the same formats Microsoft Office uses, preserving full fidelity. Integrated with Nextcloud (the most popular combination), OnlyOffice opens and saves files directly from your Nextcloud instance with simultaneous multi-user editing. For organizations with strict data governance requirements, running both Nextcloud and OnlyOffice Docs on an AnubizHost offshore VPS creates a complete, self-sovereign document workspace rivaling Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
System Requirements and Docker Setup
OnlyOffice Document Server is CPU and RAM intensive due to real-time rendering. The minimum for small teams is 2 CPU cores and 4 GB RAM; for 10+ simultaneous editors, plan for 4 cores and 8 GB. Deploy with Docker:
```bash
docker run -i -t -d -p 80:80 \
--restart=always \
-e JWT_ENABLED=true \
-e JWT_SECRET=${ONLYOFFICE_JWT_SECRET} \
onlyoffice/documentserver
```
Enable JWT authentication to secure the API endpoint - without it, anyone can submit documents for rendering. Connect to Nextcloud using the ONLYOFFICE connector app and enter your Document Server URL. AnubizHost VPS plans with 4+ GB RAM handle concurrent editing sessions reliably, and NVMe SSD storage keeps document conversion latency low.
Data Privacy and Offshore Business Advantage
When a lawyer, accountant, or executive opens a contract in Google Docs, Google's servers process that document. Self-hosting OnlyOffice on AnubizHost eliminates this data exposure entirely. Iceland's jurisdiction under Icelandic Information Act provides strong protections against foreign government data demands. For businesses subject to legal privilege (law firms), medical confidentiality (healthcare), or trade secret protection (technology companies), this is not optional - it is a professional obligation. AnubizHost accepts Bitcoin and Monero, ensuring the hosting relationship does not appear in corporate financial records that could be subpoenaed.
