How many page views to you expect?

You should configure a CDN and use a spaces bucket for uploads. See [Setting up backup and image uploads to DigitalOcean Spaces](https://meta.discourse.org/t/setting-up-backup-and-image-uploads-to-digitalocean-spaces/92502) and [Using Object Storage for Uploads (S3 Clones)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-object-storage-for-uploads-s3-clones/148916)

EDIT: But, really, probably AWS S3 is a much better choice.
