I've narrowed it down to 3 units (i think)... I would really appreciate any advice.

I will be using the unit for home and small business. Besides basic storage and data access, I'd like to utilize the virtual machine function and also be able to host a Wordpress website from it. I don't intend on upgrading the unit for as long as possible, so i'm looking for something that's fairly future proofed and expandable. I like the idea if Synology hybrid raid, just because of its flexibility in expansion, but i am also researching other raid formats that might be suitable.

Besides that, just the usual stuff - it needs to back up seamlessly to my dropbox and/or offsite storage unit, and it needs to do multiple version back ups. But i think that all the units do these, is that right?

Based on what i've looked at, the 2 best ones seem to be: TS-453B or DS1517+. But are they overkill? I'm wondering if maybe the TS-453A is enough for my needs. Its got excellent reviews. Please feel free to suggest other units as well if you think they are better.

I'll be very grateful for anyone's feedback. Thank you.
 
Cloud storage support differs among manufacturers. Check product specs.
QNAP has been doing VM support longer than Synology.
Check specs and product forums carefully about versioned backups.
