Any idea on how many files/objects, and how often they change?

Also, any idea on the number of users (both average, and peak) you'd expect to be downloading at once?

Does latency of their downloads matter? eg do downloads need to start quickly like a CDN, or as long as they work is good enough?

I would also like to ask everyone about suggestions for deep storage of personal data, media etc. 10TB with no need for access unless in case of emergency data loss. I'm currently using S3 intelligent tiering.

Hertzner storagebox or back blaze b2 is the cheapest options.

I do my archiving to S3 Glacier Deep Archive but my data volume is still so low that Amazon doesn't bother charging my card.

Surprised no one has said Cloudflare Pages. Might not work though depending on your requirements since there’s a max of 20,000 files of no more than 25 mb per project. But if you can fit under that, it’s basically free. If your requirements let you break it up by domain, you can split your data across multiple projects too. Latency is amazing too since all the data is on their CDN.

Does it accumulate month to month and eventually they charge you once a threshold is reached?

Spend some time on https://www.webhostingtalk.com/ and you will find a lot of info. For example https://www.fdcservers.net/ can give you 10TB storage and 100GB bw for around $300....but keep in mind the lower the price you pay, the lower the quality...just like any other products.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think they'll charge me only when my current monthly statement is enough to charge. Pretty sure I've never been charged so far with my monthly statement being like 0.02€.
