Update: we’re live @rimworldporn

Hello, I am the founder of /r/RimWorldporn. We would like to move away from Reddit and are looking for a good alternative. We are kind of like /r/earthporn, so we require hosting of large images. We’ve been around for about 4 1/2 years and have accumulated roughly 30GB of images. The main advantage of Reddit is that it hosts relatively high quality images, for free. Would kbin be a suitable platform for this? We could host our own instance, maybe even centralize image storing on it.

    30G is practically nothing. Any self-respecting VPS will give you that at the absolute minimum. My 7 Eur per month VPS gave me a 200G NVME

        Check LowEndTalk; you should be able to find good deals there.

        I’ve got the specs of my own VPSes here in case you’re curious: https://d.sb/servers. Most of them are for https://dnstools.ws/ but I’ve got a few high storage ones. I can share pricing on any of them.

      Of storage or bandwidth? 30gb of bandwidth is nothing, but storage? I’m sure not seeing that kind of storage for €7 month.

        Hetzner’s lowest tier ARM server (2 cores, 4GB RAM) comes with 40GB storage for 3.79 EUR, although those are only available at their Falkenstein (Germany) data center

        It should be doable. I’ve got a VPS with HostHatch in Los Angeles, 120GB NVMe, 16GB RAM, for around $77/year. This is a proper VPS with good hardware (AMD EPYC and Samsung gen 4 enterprise NVMe and a good network - it’s not just something like Contabo. Here’s their most recent sales thread (sale is no longer active though: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/185742/celebrating-12-years-in-business/p1)

        My Lemmy and Mastodon instances are on a VPS that only costs $33/year and has 99GB space. It was a 9th birthday sale for a provider I use (GreenCloudVPS https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/181793/greencloud-9th-birthday-sale-9999-plans-99-giveaways/p1) where they had a limited amount of stock for a plan with 9 cores, 9GB RAM, 99GB NVMe for $99 / 3 years.

        Keep an eye on LowEndTalk… There’s a lot of good deals to be had, especially during Black Friday and Cyber Monday where there’s huge sales.

        Backblaze for an example is $5/month/tb. 30gb is $0.15/month…

        S3 has a million tiers, ranging from $1/month/tb to $23/month/tb. $23/tb is $0.69 for 30gb. (the cheapest tiers add additional costs for get requests)
