OT: Amazon S3 Servers for Data Storage?


does here have experience amazon s3 servers used media storage & distribution (like cdn)?

my dedicated server has 500gb more adequate hosting. need add 1tb of media files digital download site.   

  • i'm wondering if amazon fit use case. 
  • is amazon's pricing reasonable (can't make sense out of obtuse pricing calculator).
  • and if surprises should ready for?

 

thanks,

nancy o.

update:

for considering amazon web servers:

  • i highly recommend thoroughly reading aws documentation beforehand.
  • you need comfortable working command-line prompt @ least portion of instance (server) set-up -- ssh connections, accessing locally stored keys, chmod, creating buckets, etc...
  • the aws management console hub things takes getting used to. neither plesk nor c-panel type interface.
  • important things know:
    • aim (creating non-root users , generating access id , secret access keys)
    • s3 (scaling, creating buckets, uploading files, setting permissions & meta-tags...)
  • some familiarity cron jobs & json helpful not absolutely essential.

in summary, aws more advanced might used a  commercial web host.
