To expand our operations, we will have to eventually scale our storage. To simply pay for a better VPS server is not scalable and very costly for us

The way forward is to pay for external storage I believe. Do you have any experiences with cloud storage you could share with us? We're probably opting for Amazon S3 based on what they are able to deliver to us

This is precisely why I asked for advice beforehand. Thank you!

I actually don’t understand how a wiki with 22,000 pages of text and 4,000 files can be “very costly” to host. Please don’t go the wikipedia route with the expenses.

It's not, we're fine, but we need to think long-term for growth. We serve more than just one language, and they are growing. Plus, we are thinking of hosting our own communication server, something like Matrix or better. And we need to have storage ready for that.
