I'm about to launch a web based rpg game I've been working on for months. There is a character design tool that I created to maximize the customize-ability of your characters, and I use php to craft the image.
I'm looking at each .png image, and they are around 150x130 in dimensions, and approximately 14.2 kilobytes each. Give or take if a user adds items/accessories/armor to their character.
So, around 100 character images are pushing 1.42mb of storage. I am expected to hit around 5,000 + characters.
I will have these images displayed when players are joining a party, the lobby, forum topics, profile view, etc. I am not sure how this is going to scale and what kind of bandwidth it will use.
What CDN service would you guys here at LET recommend? I am really honestly not looking for something very expensive like akamai. (The game will not get that big). Also, I can cache the images fine on the main server, but I feel like having a CDN would be more appropriate, as this would pull weight off the websocket game server, and overall load... (or maybe am I over thinking this? Would caching these images be fine on the main server?)
I am sorry if this is not 100% VPS related. I figure you guys would be knowledgeable in this area though! Thanks in advance.
