The S3 API you already use

Any S3 client that takes a custom endpoint works: set https://s3.bookmyhost.com, path-style addressing and region us-east-1. Large files upload in parts (multipart).

Data stays in India

Objects are stored in our data centre in Noida (Delhi NCR). Buckets are private; each bucket has its own access key, which you can replace from the panel at any time.

Rupee pricing, GST invoice

Pay by the hour for the data you actually store, or a monthly plan for a fixed bucket size. Every invoice is a GST tax invoice you can claim input credit on.

File manager in the panel

Browse a bucket, upload files (large ones in parts), create folders, download and delete objects from the browser, without installing a client.

Next to your servers

Transfer between your cloud servers and your buckets stays inside our network and is free. The rate card has no per-GB transfer line.

Built for backups

Send database dumps, server backups and restic or rclone repositories off the server they protect, to storage you can reach from anywhere.

Quick start

Create a bucket, then connect a client

Sign up, complete the one-time eKYC, then create a bucket under Storage in the panel. It shows the bucket name, the endpoint and the access key; use them like this:

AWS CLI

aws configure set default.s3.addressing_style path
aws s3 cp backup.tar.gz s3://YOUR-BUCKET/ \
  --endpoint-url https://s3.bookmyhost.com

Python (boto3)

import boto3
s3 = boto3.client("s3",
    endpoint_url="https://s3.bookmyhost.com",
    aws_access_key_id=KEY,
    aws_secret_access_key=SECRET)
s3.upload_file("db.sql.gz", "YOUR-BUCKET", "db.sql.gz")

rclone

[bmh]
type = s3
provider = Minio
endpoint = https://s3.bookmyhost.com
access_key_id = KEY
secret_access_key = SECRET
force_path_style = true

restic takes the bucket as s3:https://s3.bookmyhost.com/YOUR-BUCKET; s3cmd needs host_base and host_bucket set to s3.bookmyhost.com.
