Hello I trying to cleanup on my site but is it possible to have remote storage like not amazon s3 as that gets way too expensive but using remote servers to host the users accounts media

the purpose of amazon S3 is to lower the cost of storage:

If you've found cheaper storage, then specifics are needed.

There are a bunch of cloud modules related to setting up your own server network if you wanted to do that, but its intended purpose is to make your system larger by spreading the processing, not really lower the costs.

I have no idea how big your site is Stephen, but my site is about 30GB and at any given time I keep 14 consecutive days' worth of complete site backups on Amazon S3 ...and it only costs me $1.50/month. Have you tried it already?
