File Servers

[johnnyb3]

Hey,

Right now I have a dedicated Linux machine rented that is running on file.domain.com, which serves large graphics for webpages (think wallpapers, etc.).

Is there an easier way that I am missing than renting numerous file servers, and calling them:
file1.domain.com
file2.domain.com

And having to deal with monitoring multiple servers?

Is there some type of cloud setup, where I can pay a company to do something like:
files.domain.com

I know Amazon S3 offers something akin to this, but I wanted something that would allow me to point my subdomain to them (so they wouldn't have to call the Amazon S3 url). Also, I am hosting a small number of graphics that are hit a large number of times, and I believe S3 isn't well-suited for this.

There are many ways to do what you wish; although the easiest way by far is to get a more serious dedicated server (think colo rather than rented dedicated) and equip it with enough storage in one box.

Thanks for the reply. I actually realized that AWS was better than I thought... they allow subdomains and they seem very cost-effective for what I need to do. Sorry for the bother!
