I visited a lot of website but I conceive this one has something extra in it. “Those who can command themselves command others.” by William Hazlitt.

I am not a real tech geek so dealing with server and hosting i always find difficult. I always find your posts as very user friendly. Please write a post on handling the VPS.

Hi Zach!

Congratulations for the article!

Yes, days will come when quality hosting and bandwidth will be totally free, as lots of services and devices already on the internet.

I suppose the prices are lower right now, more than one year that this post was written.

I will check them.

Thanks for your insights, useful as always.

Has anyone worked out an automated way to keep static file changes (or new files) synced with S3? e.g. you add some new images to your server and they’re on your bucket soon after without intervention?

I could be totally wrong about this, but from what I understand another big benefit of cloud computing is that people who are accessing your website from very far away, like if your server is based in Washington and the user is sitting in Florida, it can help with load times.

Is this correct or am I confusing this with a different technology?

Thanks for this article, I’m now checking if our http://www.kalokohan.com website will benefit from this. Are there any other alternatives like this service? Akamai is a good solution too, but it’s quite pricey. Thanks!

@Greg

CloudFront is an expansion (but not quite a replacement) to S3. Think of S3 like the main warehouse, and CloudFront as the delivery trucks.

We’ll discuss the benefits of CDN’s more in the followup article.
