Seeking budget-friendly object storage provider for CDN use (not pay-as-you-go). Found Hetzner Storage Box but limited to 10 connections. Any recommendations?
Backblaze B2 with Cloudflare? Designed for CDN use, and is $6/TB with free data transfer between B2 and CF.
I second this. And if you don’t use CF they now allow 3x downloads. Don’t use wasabi since they have that 90 day retention policy.
Current user of wasabi, whats the 90 day retention policy?
If you delete a file you’re charged for 90 days regardless of how long that file was there.
Minio self hosted. Just get a server with loads of storage. This will work most cases. Unless you intend to host an app that is going to be used world wide / needs location based cdn, load balanced etc. Then a commercial service is a better option
Sadly selfhost is not an option for me
literally r/lostredditors
Do you know the name of this sub?
You’re probably in the wrong sub.
Care to suggest cheapest storage?
IDrive E2. I’ve got 1TB for 1 year for $4 (then will be $40/year)
Wasabi [0] might be a long the lines of what you’re looking for. I know you said that you’re looking for something that’s not PAYG, but Wasabi’s pricing is pretty static overall.
Wasabi position themselves as a backup service. Their contract stipulates that downloads should not exceed uploads.
https://tebi.io with free plan 25gb s3 storage.
Could try XNS. Takes a bit of know how currently as you setup a relayer client side with docker that shards and encrypts the data and then sends it to the distributed network. So it’s very secure as the only point when your data isn’t sharded and encrypted is on your own system. Uses S3.
Simply combine Hetzner Storage Box with a basic Hetzner VPS and then you dont have limited connections and you can run whatever you want on it (minio, garage, webdav, whatever)
Backblaze is freakin’ awesome
Contabo S3 storage is 2.49€ per quarter of Terabyte is crazy cheap. Using it for backups. It’s not very flexible but with such price I just can’t complain.
You think 10€/TB is cheap?
Comparing to AWS/Azure/GCP – yes it’s stupid cheap
Hetzner Sbox starts at 4€/TB vs your “cheap” 10€/months, quite a difference.
Comparing to AWS/Azure/GCP
Comparing it to the most expensive option available, its cheaper than that, yes congrats. But that silly advice since OP is asking for “actually cheap”.
To be fair, Hetzner Sbox does not offer S3 access.
Contabo
I just checked because I hadn’t heard of this one, it’s priced at about $11/TB-mo, so it’s about as competitive as B2.
Cloudflare R2 seems like a good choice for new or experimental projects, while AWS S3 is more suitable for serious endeavors.
