How to deal with images on a media site?

Question

Images

Hello, dear, please tell me the following thing:
there is a site with informational content (articles, posters, news, etc.) and there are a lot of pictures, the picture manager takes from photo reports from events and of course they are where they are, where 16 by 9, where 4 by 3, where 1 to 1, etc., what should I do? Is there a way to cut them off on the site? or ask the manager to cut them to a format, for example 4 by 3, for their correct display?
And since I'm here the second question:
how to deal with a large number of images? There is an option to store the site on the hosting, and upload pictures from the cloud or the entire site on the cloud
. There is a lot of information on these issues, as a result, it’s already a mess in my head, can someone tell me how it’s all the same right, the site is made adaptive.
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

As long as you don't have terabytes of data and you don't have millions of visitors, store your content in the same place where you host your site ... start sharing when the load becomes noticeable.
Get the marketing mess about clouds out of your head, poor people, how marketers have powdered your head.

Answer 2

1. Why crop pictures? If this is a photo, then do not crop it, store it and show it as it is.
2. Depends on the load on the site, the geographical distribution of the site's audience, the budget.
What do you mean by cloud?
If you have a wide geographical distribution (the whole of Russia, several countries, the whole world), then you can think about storing it in a CDN
. If it is narrow - one city or region, then you can store it along with the site.

Answer 3

All in the cloud
