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?

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.

If you delete a file you’re charged for 90 days regardless of how long that file was there.

Cloudflare R2 seems like a good choice for new or experimental projects, while AWS S3 is more suitable for serious endeavors.

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.

Wasabi position themselves as a backup service. Their contract stipulates that downloads should not exceed uploads.

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

Could try XNS. Takes a bit of know how currently as you setup a relayer client side with docker that shards and encrypts the data and then sends it to the distributed network. So it’s very secure as the only point when your data isn’t sharded and encrypted is on your own system. Uses S3.
