I have experience with serving images, but I'd need more details to help you get closer to the problem. Can we get a url?

Have you configured entity tags (etags)? Are you compressing w/ gzip? How many dns lookups and http requests are being called? Have you added expires to headers? Are you scaling images in html?

These are just some of the "basics" for quicker loading. If seeing explosive growth than these basics aren't that significant.

Fashom.com. I've only launched it a few days ago. The issue is login and page load time because of the number of images stored. I was also suggested that I could use cloud servers instead. Yes we are compressing w/gzip. We are not scaling images in HTML.

If you don't have tons of users/content then the problem isn't the server. If I had to guess its probably the sites architecture and code. If you want an inexpensive provider who uses SSD try Digital Ocean. They are dirt cheap and I've heard they are a solid provider, but I would look into the code first.
