Serve images on a wordpress site from a different server.
I've got a wordpress site and the VPS it is on is almost full. I've got a lot of images. Is there a plugin or anything with lets me upload images to a vps server and serve it from there. I am not looking for a CDN, I am looking for an alternate solution to store and server my images.

I don't know if there is any plugin to offload to another VPS, but for service like S3 maybe you can take a look at this http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/61243/offload-media-to-external-services
There're no plugin to do that but you can move wp-content/uploads/[last year] folder to another host or your own vps and setup it as a subdomain, then setup a redirect via htaccess/rules to this new subdomain.
The con is you lose ability to control them in WP-Media page.
Is upgrading your VPS's disk space not an option?
You can do it easily using W3 Total Cache.
Spend the vultr credits and upgrade?
Not interested in S3. Something like a VPS with huge disk.
Nope. Not feasible.
lol, not on Vultr. I am talking about 100s of GBs
Offloading ? How ? It just lets me use a CDN
You could offload your images to another server. How much big site is? You could change your theme's image location to some other server. You images will load for that server.
The big question is how ?
As already suggested -- W3 Total Cache. I've configured it in the manner you need it and it works perfectly.
CDN FTP ?
only after you deposit $150 in unnumbered vultr credits at @k0nsl's disposal
You got me there.
Perfect usage of ObjSpace, there is a wordpress plugin for this and @Mikeyur has a free months trial of the service.
I am not looking for a backup option. I am trying to replace the location of my uploads folder to a different server from where media files can be saved and server. I checked out the Objspace plugin on github and I could only see the backup option.

This is the offload plugin, the backup plugin is separate.
Is there an option to also delete the files on the server after they have been uploaded to Objspace ?
I believe so.. I haven't really done much testing of it
