Stupid shit... like hosting a video on S3, or really any static website asset on S3.
Let's say I am a photographer and I want to create or share some image galleries. Each image is big, about 10 MB and there may be hundreds of these images (less than 1000). They have a very permissible license, and I want them downloaded and used as wallpapers, for instance. I want the webpage traffic on my site (over flickr) because I want to drum up business and recognition for myself, but I don't want to risk my site going down under hug of death situations. Low cost solutions are ideal because this is a side project.
Is it best to host the main site on a single server (DO droplet) and kick the heavy lifting of image transfer to someone like imgur? What is the cheap and robust solution to this sort of problem?
