Products / Storage · S1 · S2 · S3

Object and block storage, in the same region as your servers.

S3-compatible buckets for backups, media and data pipelines, NVMe block volumes that attach to any Joy VPS, and the snapshot and backup space that already ships with every server — all on AS152565, close to your users in India and Singapore.

Overview

Joy Storage is the storage layer we built for our own products first. The same buckets carry 1tbShare transfers and the CDN's preload manifests, and the same NVMe pools hold every VPS disk and snapshot on the Compute Fabric. Opening it to customers means you get storage that lives in the region you already deploy to — Noida, Mumbai, Chennai, Singapore or the US West Coast — reachable over the private backbone from your servers and over the public internet from everywhere else.

Two products sit behind one console page. Object storage gives you S3-compatible buckets with the API you already use: existing tooling such as the AWS CLI, rclone, restic or any S3 SDK works by changing the endpoint. Lifecycle rules expire or tier objects automatically, and a bucket can be put directly behind the Joy CDN so a public prefix is served from the edge without an origin server. Block volumes are NVMe volumes that attach to a VPS in the same region for databases and media that outgrow the root disk; they are resized live and survive a reinstall of the server they belong to.

Both are in build today. What you can use right now are the pieces that are live on every server: free NVMe snapshots from the console or API, and off-node backup space in 10 GB steps at the component price shown on the pricing page. Open a ticket to join the early-access list and we will notify you when buckets and volumes open in your region.

What makes it Joy

S1 · S2 · S3

The three things this product line is built around — the same three boxes you see on the tile.

S1

S3-compatible from day one

Buckets speak the S3 API, so backup tools, static-site deployers and application SDKs connect by changing the endpoint and keys. Access keys are scoped per bucket and can be rotated from the console; signed URLs let you hand out time-limited downloads without exposing a key.

S2

Disaster recovery and backups

Lifecycle rules, versioning and cross-region replication between Indian regions and Singapore keep a second copy of what matters. Backup space for full-VM backups is available today and scheduled from the server page.

S3

One layer for object, block and file

Buckets for unstructured data, NVMe volumes for databases, and a file gateway on the roadmap — provisioned from the same console, billed on the same invoice and reachable over the private backbone from any Joy server.

What you get

Specification

Block volumesNVMe volumes attachable to a VPS in the same region; live resize; kept through a reinstall of the server
Snapshots (live today)Free NVMe snapshots on every VPS from the console or POST /api/v1/instances/{id}/snapshot; roll back or delete at any time
Backup space (live today)Off-node backup capacity in 10 GB steps for scheduled full-VM backups, added at deploy time or later
DurabilityRegion-local replication across nodes; optional replication to a second region
DeliveryServe a bucket prefix through the Joy CDN with origin shield and per-prefix purge
NetworkPrivate backbone from Joy servers; public endpoints behind always-on DDoS filtering on AS152565
How it works

Three steps

Create a bucket or volume

Pick the region, a name and whether the bucket is public. Access keys are generated at once; volumes attach to a server you choose.

Connect your tools

Use the S3 endpoint with any S3 client or SDK, or mount the volume from the server page. Lifecycle and replication rules are optional and can be added later.

Serve, replicate, expire

Put a prefix behind the CDN, replicate to a second region, and let lifecycle rules retire old objects. Usage is metered daily and invoiced monthly in your currency.

Use cases

Where Storage fits.

Backups you can actually restorePoint restic, Duplicati or Veeam-style tooling at a bucket in the region next to your servers; keep a replicated copy in Singapore for compliance.
Media and user uploadsStore images, video and documents in a bucket and serve them through the CDN — no upload directory on the web server to fill up.
Databases that outgrow the root diskAttach an NVMe volume, move the data directory, resize as the dataset grows.
Static sites and downloadsPublish a public prefix behind the CDN and ship multi-gigabyte release files without touching a VPS.
Data pipelinesLand raw data in a bucket in Mumbai, process it on hourly-billed servers in the same region, expire it with a lifecycle rule.
Snapshots before every changeTake a snapshot before an upgrade, keep it while you test, delete it when you are happy — free on every plan today.
FAQ

Questions about Storage.

Can I use it now?
Buckets and volumes are in build; snapshots and backup space are live on every VPS today. Open a ticket titled "Storage early access" with the region and the rough capacity you expect and we will notify you when your region opens.
Is a snapshot a backup?
No. A snapshot lives on the same NVMe as the server and protects you from your own mistakes, not from hardware failure. Use backup space (scheduled from the server page) or a bucket in another region for real backups. See the snapshots guide.
Which regions will have object storage first?
Mumbai and Noida, followed by Singapore. Chennai and the US follow as capacity is installed; the status is shown on the status page and in the Updates feed.
How is it priced?
Backup space is $0.02 per GB per month today. Bucket and volume pricing is published when they reach general availability; there will be no per-request charges and no minimums, in line with the CDN.
