Which type of VM should I get for WordPress Images hosting
Hi,
One of my team-mate's WP site is having 20000+ posts plus 20,000 images related to each post. Right now I'm on shared hosting and want to move the 'images' to a VM.
My current and future usage is approx. as follows:
40-50 GB space
100-120 GB monthly BW.
unmanaged.
Preferred location: US, Canada, EU, Singapore
Which type of VM shall weget?
1. S3 like object storage
2. Low end VPS with 1 cpu, 1 GB RAM or bit less, 50 GB ssd-cached/SSD,
3. or Storage VPS
Though we've gone through Storage VPS plans mostly are starting from 200 GB space which I don't want. Less storage vps will do.
Are there any low end offers? or even cPanel shared hosts who can host my images?
p.s.: Not interested in DO, Vultr type cloud offers or OVH/Hetzner

You'll probably be blocked from most storage VPS for overcommit. They come with large drive, low RAM, and low CPU, as they're not meant to be front-end services.
CDN/object storage would seem to be the way to go.
what is you budget. cpanel also cost more.
you can use other free control like webuzo, centos web panel
wow those preferred locations: US, Canada, EU, Singapore.
they make 95% of hostings locations today.
Ease your burden with hosting your images in Flickr or imgur.
That's a good advice from a technical viewpoint, but may cost them in SEO if those images are tagged appropriately and pull in visitors from the engines.
Not a fan of free services. They are here today, gone tomorrow. Better to stick with paid and reputed ones.

yes, good point. It will loose all benefits of image-seo.
yes!
Offloading to object storage is the route I would go, also lots of plugins to easily manage the process. DigitalOcean spaces should cover you, $5/mo for 250GB storage and 1TB bandwidth (via their CDN).
Host your 50 GB of images on Backblaze B2 for $3.00 per year (not counting the first free 10GB) and as long as these images are served over a CloudFlare enabled domain you don't have to pay egress fees.
BunnyCDN offers a cheap storage and good world-wide performance.
+1 for BunbyCDN premium bandwidth - outstanding performance and better price wise compared to other providers
Leave as is, put images on subdomain and put it behind cloudflare free plan?
Will try backblaze b2 with cloudflare or bunny. thanks for suggestions.

One option would be to get my NAT storage VPS

You select the amount of storage and ram that you need.
No issues using it as a frontend, create a domain forwarding rule and you can serve pages over HTTP/S.
No problems if you want to use cloudflares ipv4->ipv6 proxy service either.
I don’t think anyone can beat that price.
Thanks for the mention.
Every person deserve a good deal.
I don’t have that much storage
