HOSTKEY Object Storage delivers the scalable space to store and manage your unstructured data using AWS S3-Compatible API. Employ your existing S3 tools with no extra charges for PUT / POST / COPY / LIST operations.
Use Cases
Early “Free Beta” Plan Conditions
The "Free Beta" plan is no longer available for new orders.
If you are currently using the "Free Beta" plan, you may continue to use it under the existing conditions. At a later stage, all active "Free Beta" users will be transitioned to the "Standard Storage" paid plan. We will notify you in advance with full details regarding the timeline and terms of this transition.
If you would like to remove the current limitations of the "Free Beta" plan and take advantage of scalable S3 Object Storage (increase volume and bandwidth), you can switch to the "Standard Storage" paid plan at any time by ordering it through the HOSTKEY user interface.
S3-compatible Object Storage is a way to store unstructured data, such as files, images, videos and logs, using an API compatible with the Amazon S3 standard. This allows you to use your existing tools, SDKs and workflows as with AWS S3, but with a different provider.
Backup and disaster recovery — reliably store and restore data without managing your own infrastructure
Media storage and delivery — host and deliver images, videos and other static content at scale
Data analytics and processing — store large datasets for analytics, logging and data pipelines
Application assets storage — manage user uploads, documents and other application files
As an alternative to AWS, HOSTKEY S3-compatible storage offers similar functionality but with no extra charges for PUT / POST / COPY / LIST operations. HOSTKEY S3 Object Storage remains fully compatible with all existing S3-based tools and workflows.
S3-compatible Object Storage is a simple and scalable way to store any type of unstructured data, from backups to media and logs. It is not tied to a traditional file system, and it handles growing workloads without reconfiguration and is typically more cost-efficient. It is fully compatible with AWS S3 API, which has become the industry standard.
