Question

Upload files to another domain

Hello,

Is this feasible. The File uploads on one of my sites is growing really huge, I am thinking of moving all the files to a different domain and then save the url location for each uploaded file in the Database.

So files or images on the site will actually be pulling information from the Subdomain. Would this cause a problem?

    It should work. However, you will then create dependency. Should the subdomain(s) be down for whatever reason, no files will be served. Another issue could be the download waiting time(latency), especially when files are to be moved across servers located in separate networks.
