I’m about to launch a couple new communities in the upcoming weeks and I’m working out all of my hosting and plugin details. A concern I have is storage of uploads. It’s mostly a preemptive measure I’m considering. But I know very little about them. A few questions:

1. Is a CDN worthwhile at the onset? I’m planning to do the $20/month Digital Ocean installation.
2. I think I read a topic here about migrating to a CDN later. Am I correct in thinking it’s a simple move later on?
3. What are some of the most common and most recommended providers? I typically just hear of Amazon.

I greatly appreciate any feedback you can give.
