Where do you store your videos?

Where do you all store your videos for Roku streaming? I'm using aws R3 I think and so far i have only 2 hours of watch time and it's charged me $2.38 is this about right? Seems like this could get expensive fast. Especially since My channel is an educational Children's Channel and Can not have it Monetized?

Re: Where do you store your videos?

There is a pinned thread here https://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=34726

If you are going with an amazon solution, an S3 bucket with cloudfront is a better solution than a R3 instance. Hosting video is still going to be expensive but this will be less expensive.
