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?
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
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?
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.
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”.
