hosting mp3 files, where do you reccomend?

Hi, I'm testing your library and it's great, what I'm doing is a kind of audio guide for a museum.

I'm hosting my website on Webflow so I can't upload directly mp3 files so I wanted to ask you where would you recommend to host my files so that I can play them on my website.

Do you think I can achieve this with some free service or should I go with a paid one?

Do you have any recommendation?

If you're hosting audio files for a business-critical service then you should host them somewhere with redundancy and a CDN built in. BunnyCDN has a service of this nature - 'Storage' for files, with redundant backup, and add a Pull Zone to allow CDN access to the files globally. Monthly costs wouldn't be significant unless you do huge volume. My referal code: https://bunny.net?ref=luvuffmmms but you can just go direct to bunny.net

Other suggested suppliers: Amazon S3+Cloudfront; Stackpath; a simple $5 cloud VPS for storage and put Caddy as a web front end to serve your files.

https://www.myinstants.com/en/index/us/ This one is free but you gotta do some html inspect to get the link

https://cloudinary.com/ This one is great, also has upload api (best thing for free), direct link and CDN, however theres a limit (25gb storage, and some traffic limitations)
