Amazon Cloudfront: How much would it cost for you?
 

How much money spend on your amazon cloudfront and s3?

How much would it cost for 500 GB storage and 20 GB monthly bandwidth?

how big problem you have with this tool?

you should probably assume your monthly bw will be more than the size of your library. usually by hundreds of percent.

Yep, maybe you meant 20 TB?

But its a paysite not a free tube.

It must have no traffic then. 20GB/month is nothing.

members only traffic is low yes. So if only members can access to the videos this bandwidth usage will be low -If someone not to try to hunger on all of the videos in one month though-.

If you have like 3-5 members then it would be enough, maybe.

what makes you think member area bw is low? members want 1080p minimum now. a few of those breaks your 20gb. one member downloading your library is 500gb. we have sites doing 1tb of downloads per hour.

you're going in the wrong direction. you should figure out the top limits (max you can handle) not the bottom.

I see. So whats your preferred cheap video cdn service which?

full 100% legal content you can go with any cdn. If not better don't touch cdn. best option is some unlimited vps with you can easy find lowendtalk.com etc.

What do you mean about unlimited? Unlimited storage?

unlimited bandwidth

Look on the AWS site -- there is a pricelist.
https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/

Unmetered bandwidth is bullshit.
Unlimited anything in hosting is bullshit if you do real volume.

Looks like only using s3 storage is a cheapest solution isnt it?
However can I be serve videos as stream by only s3?

yes you can stream directly from S3.

if you care about content protection then S3 it is more open than a streaming servers (any user can download the video), but significantly cheaper.

in this case you should use ec2 instance or their Wowza solution.

if you willing to put the time into AWS, it is the one of the efficient, cheapest, secure and high performing options today

s3 is open public but no one can see if I put those with wordpress s2member shortcodes.

However I can also go with cloudfront but I only want to pay s3. One more is not required.

i just did PornCMS traffic report for the last 12 months ending aug 31, 2017.

Total = 2,643.3 TB

we only have about 300 active sites.

what's that cost on Amazon? lol

#porncms

You are talking transit and peering not metered use (I hope)

lmao....

shit anyone paying metered these days should get a really nice polished pole and shove it really deep up the ass of their host. the airfare is worth it.

im a veteran of web dev in the real world. i know some shit on both sides of the wall. i dont cheat clients. i never had metered hosting from the beginning. i always charged monthly and as cheap as i can fucking get it.

im rich enough. i dont cheat HONEST clients. ask some porncms clients. im not greedy..

S3 is a bit pricey, especially for larger video files. I wouldn't recommend it for video libraries. Especially with 1080p and 4K videos.

Here are some alternative Object Storage solutions:

- BackBlaze B2
- From my own experimenting it's very fast for large files, slow for thumbnails (too much latency)

- OVH Object Storage (standard OpenStack APIs, S3 compatible I think)
- Haven't tested yet but super cheap and it's OpenStack so it's open
- Not much documentation or resources so you need to know your way around OpenStack

- Digital Ocean just released something in beta
- https://www.digitalocean.com/products/object-storage
- Haven't had the chance to look at it yet

Brandon , ovh is cheap but you have to install all of the softwares by yourself.

Your profit margin determines your bandwidth quality v. raw costs if you are business savvy.

I'm assuming you're talking about the their VPS and Dedicated offerings? Yeah, that's one of the reason they are so cheap. Crappy docs and support being another.

There's no software to install to use their object storage, they manage everything. You just access it through an API.

As a follow up, I've been experimenting with Digital Ocean's Object Storage offering. Seems to be fairly compatible with S3 but much cheaper. I got the standard upload, delete, list, and signed url for secure content working. Going to test it out with a new site I'm building.

the fact that this is still being discussed shows how damn slow things are going right now. i'm encouraged by all the industry veterans coming back into the mess. i hope they can lead the industry out of the darkness. the tubes are casting a long shadow.

to keep it on topic, uh, don't use S3 :)
