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.

    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
    https://clients.mrvm.net/cart.php?gid=12

    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.
