I have a Wordpress site and recently ran into the problem of having too many images for my hosting services. But my job involves photography, so I was wondering where a good starting point would be to set up a physical server in my home to host all my photos for my website on Wordpress. Is that possible? I don’t know where to begin with searching either.

Hey, just to make sure – are you performing image optimizations on uploaded images? You’re not uploading 4000x3000 raw JPEGs, are you?

If you are, you can reclaim a ton of storage. (Keep the RAWs off the Internet on a HDD somewhere.)

They are optimized. It’s a 5gb plan I guess. It looks like my options, in the comments here, are pay a monthly fee elsewhere and be done with it instead of constantly hitting barriers with my current host’s limits.
