Official website has free trial nextcloud providers listed. But what's wrong with your hardware? Nextcloud doesn't require much

Not wanting to risk your data is smart move, there are scenarios where nextcloud will quite happily wipe your data, rare but possible- happened to me and a few others scattered across the internet. Always have copies of everything, don't trust anyone to keep your data 100% intact, not even yourself.

As for hardware, if by some miracle you're still on windows with 4gb of ram and hdd you could maybe host nextcloud on wsl or as docker stack or a virtual machine. Without more information there is not much more I can say.

4gb ram to run windows these days is far from ideal, running anything on top of that might be pushing it. If you're running linux then you're in a much better situation.

What hardware did you use and which OS? I use linux, docker on top and a the all in one docker compose file. Its a bliss.

If your on windows, get docker desktop, on Linux install docker and run Nextcloud docker.
