BenCurry Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Hi, I am using IPS Cloud hosting and want my users to be able to post their images and files directly to my site. I have quickly found that this can mean a heavy mount of data and this cn get expensive on the IPS plans. What options do I have available to have the image and file uploads hosted elsewhere. What are the pros/cons of this and what is it likely to cost. If there a way to restrict the file size of uploaded images (or reduce them) as some of the .png images are huge even when restricted to pixel sizes. At the very least I would like anything uploaded to the 'Downloads' section of the site to be hosted elsewhere Is there a guide that I can check out about this? Thanks Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmad E. Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 You can store them somewhere else easily; How much it'll cost depends on the cdn provider that you will use. KeyCDN has a trial plan I think and pricing is affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
