Where to store website data?

Question

Network administration

Hello everybody. Virtual hosting (fornex) ran out of storage space (2GB). Tell me how to increase the space, because I have a lot of images on the site. Is it possible to connect Yandex disk, dropbox services, or is it better to use hosting with unlimited storage space (hostgator, bluehost) they said the ping is high there (I use WordPress).

Answer 1

You can put images in some storage, such as S3 or cloud storage from Selectel. It will be inexpensive (if not very large traffic), and reliable

Answer 2

I would switch to another hosting, the same digitalocean. Well, or use it for pictures.

Answer 3

We store statics on clodo.ru and selectel.ru both there and there for more than a year. Everything is stable uptime 100%. Fairly simple synchronization (you can even over ftp).
About digitalocean.com , I will also support @webmix . There are no complaints, it is stable and fast even taking into account the location of servers in Europe. But here you already need to administer the server yourself, unlike the two previous solutions.

Answer 4

I've been thinking about this for a long time, but haven't found a solution. It is especially interesting how to implement this on Dropbox. For my project, I used a clone on a free hosting, where I store old pictures in a strict sequence of folders, and upload new ones to the main hosting.
