Proper Amazon AWS S3 usage

Programmer Question

Heres a quick rundown. We have two apps. Both apps are different from each other in every aspect.



Our first app is a company profile (4 page layout: home, products, about, contact). I don't think it will generate the same traffic as social web sites online. It allows staff members to post product photos. Is it better to have an AWS S3 account to store this content on? Or would I be better off storing the files on the local web server?



Our second app is more social oriented. Here, we have decided to use an S3 bucket for this app. Since we already have an AWS account, should we create a bucket for the first app on this AWS account? Or will this just render more expenses in the long run? What are your thoughts?



On another note. Should app related content (logo, icons, background images, buttons, etc) be stored on the S3 account or on the local server? What is the general consensus on this?
