Hello everyone!
Today I got an e-mail from my hosting provider for KyraDB.com stating because of the massive amount of files I am violating the Fair Use Policy of a shared host.
If no action is taken the account will be suspended.
The only solution, of course, is migrating to a dedicated host. As everyone knows a dedicated host costs significant more than a cheap shared host.
Currently I'm taking to steps to at least make a backup (another) of everything.
If people have suggestions, please write them in this thread.

Yes this is to be expected really, shared hosts are not for something like this.
Its a shame but these kind of sites need proper revenue streams and scalable hosting.
I don't think people understand the dedication and finances it takes to keep these kind of things online, especially once they get popular!

If it’s the massive amount of files only, then the next step up is a VPS, just out of interest, how big is the site at present?
Server: Ubuntu Server 22TB HDD running SAMBA
Kodi: 4 Raspberry Pi 3 running Libreelec - on the main PC - running Linux Mint

And how big the space does that take? There is a good reason why I’m asking...

Setup cloudflare to mirror and cache your never changing files.
Bandwith on your provider would probably drop by 95%...
Additionally:
Are there already some low-res preview graphics available?
Or still only full sized ones?
Edit:
ok, no bandwith issues, but file count issues - thats another story...

Would a storage solution like dropbox work? The website could then interface with its api and serve up the images directly from the cloud storage hosting.
