It may be cheaper to host on a VPS. It is like $7 per month with backup. Other option is use your own hardware that is already running all the time for some other reason. Our media center computer is on all the time so we use it to run Nextcloud and any other service we want.
Other option use Syncthing instead.
Before I stopped fediverse, I was hosting lemmy on the cheapest hetzner ARM instance, with backups it was like 6€, so probably slightly below $7. Nextcloud has an ARM version so that would work.
Of course, only 40gb storage. I run nextcloud on an Intel VPS, it's one of the few SSD + HDD offerings I've ever seen, and I got it on sale, so it's less than 5€ paid yearly for 40GB + 500GB.
