I don't know.  I host my own from home, sync off zfs snapshots (zfs 
send), and do backups of that.  If I had not already had the local 
storage I would have looked into running it in the cloud, maybe.  I 
still may eventually, but I can stand a weekend of downtime for my 
current needs.  I use it for convenience of access, but my business, 
family, and data would survive if it somehow just died, never to come back.

This is the cheater VM setup I'm using.  It is practically turnkey.  
https://github.com/nextcloud/vm  But, I've not evaluated it for any HA 
needs.

I've never thought of them as a hardware outfit, and I don't think it is 
what they are known for.  I'm sure you can do better than the offerings 
on that page.
