I am currently developing a big web application. Users will be able to post images as well as music files to my server. I am using PHP with Codeigniter framework and work off an Apache server from A2hosting.com . I was wondering how I will be able to manage space. I know that they offer unlimited storage but I know that I am going to run into issues if too many people are uploading too much.
How is the best way to deal with this? Would you have your own separate hosting plan for storing all this media? Could it be stored in a through a third party? Will my site eventually be slowing down because there is way too much memory that I am holding for people?
I guess I would kind of like to know what issues I am going to be running into? My project is almost completed and I want to avoid any large scale errors that may occur. I am the only one working on this project so man power is pretty precious, as well as time.
Any help and insights will be greatly appreciated.
