How you get it: set up by hand today, within business hours — someone reads the order before anything is built, and you get the details by email. We are writing the automation; until it is done and tested, this is the honest timing.

What you get

The parts that are ours.

The S3 API you already use

Point any S3 client, SDK or backup tool at the endpoint and it works — aws-cli, rclone, restic, s3cmd, your framework's storage driver. Nothing here is a bespoke API you would have to write against.

Transfer in the price

The outbound allowance is included in the monthly figure rather than metered from the first byte, so a busy month does not arrive as a bill you did not plan. If you expect to exceed it, tell us before you order and we will say what that costs.

A person on the other end

Buckets, access keys and lifecycle questions are answered by the people who run the platform. Setup is done by hand today, which means someone reads what you asked for before it exists.

Honesty

When you should not buy this.

If you need millions of small objects served straight to browsers at low latency worldwide, buy a CDN in front of this or use one of the hyperscalers — we are not pretending to be a global edge network. And if what you actually want is a disk you can mount, that is block storage, which is cheaper per gigabyte and lives on its own page.

Questions

The ones worth asking first.

Is it really S3-compatible, or S3-ish?
It speaks the S3 API: the same signing, the same bucket and object semantics, the same tooling. In practice you change an endpoint and a pair of keys in whatever you already use. Where a very new S3 feature is missing, that is the supplier's roadmap rather than something we can add, and we would rather you knew that than found out mid-migration.
How is transfer counted?
Outbound traffic out of the bucket counts against the included allowance; uploads into it do not. The allowance is stated in the price row above, taken from the supplier's own published figure rather than from a marketing page.
How fast do I get it?
It is set up by hand today, so within business hours rather than in ninety seconds. That is the honest answer while we finish automating it — if you need it the same hour, say so in the order and we will treat it that way.
Can I use it as a backup target for my servers here?
Yes, and it is the most common reason people buy it. restic, borg with rclone, or your database's own dump-to-S3 all work. Keep the bucket in a different city from the server it backs up — a backup in the same building as the original is a copy, not a backup.
