Cheap alternstives of Cloudflare R2

[tad108]

Hello everyone,

I'm in process of using Cloudflare R2 storage and serevers for content delivery but because it's unde dmca (copyrighted) i'd like to find alternative in case R2 is taken down or for some reason unable to dliver the videos. I was thinking maybe foreign independent servers that are more protected (if there is such) against copyrighted strikes. I can't rely on just one delivery provider, i need some backups as well. If anyone is familiar with that topic, pls let me know. I need to be more educated in that matters. Thank you in advance. PS. Cloudflare R2 is great, the egress is free, using S3-compatible API, so i'm looking for similar providers..)

I've not used that service but presumably it operates the same as caching. Cloudlfare is one of the largest private networks on the globe and they have data centers across the globe, hundreds of them. Traffic is routed to nearest data center, cached content is delivered from the data center. If there is a problem at one data center traffic can be routed to another data center, at worst it gets slower for the region that data center is servicing but still faster than delivering it from origin. Sans some enormous catastrophe your content should always be available assuming it works same as cache.

No advice on what service but I would imagine it's going to be difficult to find a reliable and fast service that isn't going to take copyright claims seriously.

At the moment i found out Backblaze B2 as cloudstorage (cheaper) with Cloudflare CDN would work better than relying simply on R2, which are very expensive on storage. Thank you for posting though.
