Most of the websites require hosting to host images, videos, etc. One obvious way to do it is to store it on the hard drive. That seems alright but what if the size of this storage required exceeds the hard drive storage limit? We will need to scale it accordingly which is a bit of a tedious task.

Here, a hosting service like AWS S3 comes into the picture as it can store a huge amount of media files and scale accordingly.

Amazon S3 has a simple web services interface that you can use to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of websites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.

In the search bar at top, type out S3. Click on the first option. You will be directed to a page showing list of currently buckets. If you are using it for the first time, it will be an empty list.
