Product photos and videos move off the web server, so the site disk stays small and migrations get faster.

Object Storage India
Quick answer
Object storage keeps files as objects in a bucket, reached over an S3-style API instead of a server disk, so media, uploads and backups outlive any one server. WebJi® quotes each bucket in INR by capacity, egress and requests before payment, plus 18% GST. Whole-server backup has a published price instead: ₹1,300 a month for 200 GB.
For shops, apps and teams moving media, user uploads or backups off their web server into storage that does not depend on one machine.

What is object storage?
Object storage keeps files as objects inside a bucket, where each object is the file itself, its metadata and a unique key, reached over an HTTP API rather than mounted as a disk. Because it is not tied to one server, the files survive if a server is rebuilt or replaced.
| Type | How you reach it | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Object storage | HTTP API (S3-style), bucket + key | Media libraries, backups, exports, logs |
| Block storage | A disk attached to one server | Databases and operating systems |
| File storage | A shared folder over the network | Teams editing the same files |
SAN storage and private cloud are separate WebJi® products with their own quotes. The plain-language background is in what is cloud storage.
Who needs object storage in India?
Object storage suits any business whose files must outlive a single server: online shops with large image libraries, apps storing user uploads, teams exporting reports and anyone keeping backups away from the machine they protect. A database that needs a local disk should stay on the server's own storage instead.
App uploads
SaaS and portal apps write user files to a bucket that every app server can reach.
Off-server backups
Backup tools that speak the S3 API write copies away from the server they protect.
Exports and logs
Reports and logs that are written once and read rarely, kept without filling a server disk.
How is object storage priced at WebJi®?
WebJi® object storage is quoted per bucket in INR before payment, with 18% GST added on the invoice; no per-gigabyte price is published, because capacity, egress and request volume each change the bill. No monthly object-storage SKU appeared in WebJi® billing when it was read on 30 October 2026.
| Quote item | What it means | Tell support |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | Gigabytes or terabytes stored | Current size and expected growth |
| Egress | Data downloaded out of the bucket | Whether files are served to visitors or rarely read |
| Requests | Number of uploads, reads and listings | Rough number of files and how often they change |
| Endpoint and location | The API address and where the bucket sits | Any data-location requirement |
Ask through the quote form or email support@webji.services. If what you need is a backup of a whole server rather than a bucket, cloud server backup has a published price: ₹1,300 a month for 200 GB before 18% GST.
Why does egress matter more than storage for some workloads?
Egress is data leaving the bucket, so a media library downloaded by thousands of visitors a day costs very differently from a backup written nightly and read only in an emergency, even at the same size. Say which pattern you have when asking for a quote.
- Write once, read rarely: backups and archives; capacity dominates the cost.
- Read constantly: public images and downloads; put a CDN in front so most requests never reach the bucket.
- Many small files: request counts can matter more than size; bundle where possible.
How do S3-compatible tools, keys and presigned URLs work?
S3-compatible tools connect with three details, an endpoint URL, a bucket name and an access key pair, and a presigned URL lets you share one private object for a limited time without handing out those keys. The WebJi® quote names the endpoint and confirms which S3 features it supports.
- Accept the quote and receive the endpoint, bucket name and access keys.
- Configure the tool, such as rclone, the AWS CLI with a custom endpoint, or a WordPress offload plugin.
- Keep keys on the server or in a secrets store, never in a public repository or theme file.
- Share private files through presigned links with a short expiry instead of making the bucket public.
On Amazon S3 itself a Signature Version 4 presigned URL lasts at most seven days; S3-compatible services may set their own limits, so confirm them for your endpoint. Offloading a WordPress media library is covered in offloading WordPress media to a CDN.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is WebJi® object storage S3-compatible?
The quote names the endpoint and states whether S3-style clients can use it, and which features, such as presigned URLs, are enabled. WebJi® does not publish a public endpoint before a quote is accepted, so confirm compatibility with your tool in the request.
Can I use object storage for website backups?
Yes, if your backup tool can write to the quoted endpoint. Give the backup size, how many copies you keep and how often you restore, because those set capacity and egress. For whole-server images, cloud server backup is the ready-made option.
Can the bucket stay in India?
State the requirement in your request and the quote will name where the bucket sits. Businesses bound by data-localisation rules should get the location in writing before uploading regulated data.
Should I make my bucket public to serve website images?
Only the folder that holds public assets, and preferably behind a CDN. Keep everything else private and share individual files through presigned links, so a listing mistake cannot expose backups or customer uploads.
