If serving off your VPS you might find the storage costs a bit high. We have archive storage which might be suitable (0.1x cost of SSD), or you could have one of those solutions serve objects from Amazon S3 or compatible object storage. I've also found hetzner.de quite good for low cost dedicated servers with large amounts of storage, though with some caveats: - Don't try to send email from there - Support isn't great, but gets there in the end - Expect components of "servers" to be desktop-grade, not server-grade - Out of band access involves them attaching a network-accessible device to the server, which is chargeable on a per-use basis - If you end up having a drive die they will reboot your server to replace it, even if hot swap should work. And the replacement drive will be refurb, not new. So not really suitable for "missing critical" uses, but acceptable for many. Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
