Products' image storage

Hey,
I'm just getting started with Medusa, I find it revolutionary and so pleasant to use :)

The question that keeps me at night though is:
Is there any alternative for hosting images? I'd love to try to host Medusa on Hostinger, and it'd be the best to keep everything there – including the images.

Certainly, if Hostinger has an Image hosting service I suppose you can write your own plugin by extending the AbstractFileService class from @medusajs/medusa like in the S3 plugin: https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/blob/master/packages/medusa-file-s3/src/services/s3.js

Otherwise, if you are renting VPSes from Hostinger, you can always host a MinIO server on the same server or another standalone server to act as your own Image hosting service.

Thank you, I’ll dig into this issue further and hopefully find some solution that I’m happy with :)
