Media library on another server?

I would suggest that you use a CDN to host your image files.

For starters you could move the images over to the new hosting though. Or is it many terrabytes of images? If so, I don’t think it’s a good idea to have them in WordPress.

Regarding hosting the image library, have you considered using a CDN?

There are a bunch of plugins that would help you with this, they are all pretty straight forward:

Personally, I’ve ended up using WP Rocket: https://wp-rocket.me/
It’s working really well, and there are a lot of settings to tweak performance.

I’m using S3 + Cloudfront from Amazon on some projects. My favourite one so far though, has been StackPath: https://www.stackpath.com/, it’s running really nice with WP Rocket.

But before you enable any CDN, I’d actually move over the images to the new VPS. I assume that you will be keeping the whole website, all posts etc.

  • Dump the DB on the old site
  • Copy the files from the old to the new using rsync, directly from the old server to the new.
  • Import the DB dump on the new server.
