Question about CDN (5)

---

Hello, I'm a bit confused about hosting and CDN. I read somewere that CDN has to be associated to a hosting service to work (shared hosting, VPS, etc.). Is this true? In other words, My idea was to create a simple HTML with contact information and then link my domain name to that page. After that use folders under my domain to place my landing pages. Thank you.

Hey!

Yes, it's true. You need to use CDN in order to make sure your page is loading fast enough. We have created a thread about it not long time ago, you can check it right here: https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...033#post316033

Plus, @caurmen explained really well how you can actually do it in this thread: https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...hlight=hosting

Hope this helps!

Hi Mobidea. I'll read those posts. So I understand that maybe a VPS is not enough in some cases. If you want the landing pages to load faster you have to include a CDN service. I suppose this step is optional and it depends on your budget. I mean, its not something mandatory to get good results with your landing pages. Thank you.

Yes - you'd need to use a CDN to make your pages load fast. If you're targeting mobile devices, loading speed will have an especially large impact on your conversion rate.

You'll also need to have a place to store the site files - whether you use Amazon S3 (the cheapest option), or a VPS, or anything else, would be up to you.

Amazon Cloudfront (CDN) + Amazon S3 (Storage) is the simplest and cheapest option I know, and is the setup I'm using. Mobidea has kindly provided the link to caurmen's tutorial which will help you to set this up.

Thank you for your answers. Amazon Cloudfront (CDN) + Amazon S3 (Storage) seems to be the solution I'm looking for.
