Hi;
I have a blog, where I regularly update my blog (few times a day)
Most of the posts are images.

The problem comes when my hosting (hostgator) inode exceed the limit, 100,000 (haha ... at first I don't believe it my self, but here it is.... 100,000)

I have amazon S3, I heard I can transfer all the images there.
Tried few plugin, but find no success.

Do anyone have experience on this?

I don't want to buy vps or dedicated server, since the usage of my hosting not that much.

Please also suggest works plugin that I can use.
Thanks

Raja Kamil

Why not get a low-cost VPS and have it run static (images) content with nginx?
Something like BuyVM. It'll be cheaper than Amazon.

  If you are going to stick with a shared hosting plan with limits on inodes (which all do, but some are higher e.g. BlueHost 200,000 inode limit) you need another place to store your 80,000 plus images. Get the WP2Cloud plugin BrandVortex mentioned setup and you'll be good to go.

Are you using a wp cache plugin to reduce the size of your image files. If not install w3.

  Thanks Danny, the size doesn't matter, because most of my images just few kilobytes.
  
  The problem is, I have more than 80 thousands images.
  
  In hostgator, that call, the number of file = inode.
  
  For shared hosting, the limit is 100,000 inodes (or you can call it files)
  
  Thanks

I ran into this problem as well. What I did was store the images in a mysql database in a binary "BLOB" format. You can then use php to query the image data, build it and output it to the browser when requested. To a visitor, the images load like normal.

Transfer all the images to Amazon S3 would be the best solution.

You can use s3funnel. It is multi-threaded, so tends to be very fast.

  why not using an image hosting service ? because the images will be on different domain, page load time will be smaller, as the browser will download the images in parallel (while downloading the other resources from your domain).
  
  bangimage.com offers free unlimited image hosting services, so ... check them out.
  
  Thanks
