I would suggest you take a look at Wasabi for object storage. I'm just a customer, but have been using them for close to a year for off-site backup storage and it's been great.

Reposting from my comment from yesterday[0], how are the speeds from you location (and where's that)? It have been ridiculously slow from Northern Europe when I've tried it, like not even 1 MB/s down.

Wasabi looks interesting. What's the catch? How's the outgoing bandwidth/download speed? (Large file downloads are my main concern.)

> Wasabi’s hot cloud storage service is not designed to be used to serve up (for example) web pages at a rate where the downloaded data far exceeds the stored data or any other use case where a small amount of data is served up a large amount of times

This is the part that ruled it out for me

Having trouble with hot objects definitely rules it out for me. Thanks!
