I need some advice on this.
My site is 400GB with thousands of articles and thousands of images. I keep overpaying my host to have a dedicated server with upgradable storage, but I just end up overpaying for processing power I don’t need. I only need the storage.
I thought serving my media from cloud would be a good solution for this. Any of you had the same experience and what would be your advice?
With that much media, mediacloud.press is your best option.
No limit on number of images/videos
Also, checkout bunny.net storage, Digital Ocean Spaces, or even Cloudflare R2. All work with this plugin too.
Wp offload media plugin is easy to set up.
Cloudflare R2 will offload handle 400GB of media for $5.85/month.

Take a look at Optimole.
There is a plugin by Deliciois Brains called “WP Offload Media”. I know that Google is a new tool, but I believe it could help you find it.
Now I’m curious about the site because I run one with thousands of posts and it is very image heavy, but not 400gb. Hopefully its not against the rules to ask what you site is?
[https://infiniteuploads.com](https://infiniteuploads.com) works wonders, I use it on a few of my media heavy sites.
I know the point of your question is about offloading media but I had a situation similar to yours: host 5 sites that use little CPU but a lot of storage (750 GB to be more precise).
My solution was to get a small VPS that could handle the traffic, attach a block storage to it, and then mount the block storage as the server’s home/root folder.
So with this, everything gets installed to the server’s boot disk but the site’s files are all stored in the block storage. Block storage is a tad slower than the boot disk but it is rather cheap and way cheaper than getting a very large server.
If you want more details PM me, I did this with Hetzner but it could be done with any provider that supports block storage such as Vultr, Linode, etc.
BunnyCDN, compress images and serve webp
