my question is, what is the difference if I were to use other hosting, e.g. bluehost. creating landing pages with wordpress (they have mobile optimised plugins), and linking them to the offer pages?
What are the foreseeable troubles / problems ahead if this is done differently?
Hey,
If you have one dedicated host, you will have a tougher time scaling your setup, while something like S3 + CloudFront is auto-scalable.
Aside from that, location also matters, it's already distributed all over the world with CloudFront while with one VPS or so, you have to set up more yourself, add a separate CDN, etc.
Finally, WordPress absolutely sucks for speed. You need very bare landers for most things, just text, images and links. WordPress is a huge system in the back that has a huge number of bottlenecks when it comes to performance.
Cheers,
Manu.
I see, thanks manu_adefy.
How about domain name? Do we need to buy them? I read somewhere in this forum that it doesn't matter what it ends with, doesn't have to be a .com, and it can be as cheap as less than $1.
The tutorial above didn't mention about purchasing domain name though. I literally followed step by step. . . .
Yeah, you have to buy that separately. There are many domains for <$1 per year nowadays. Namecheap is a pretty decent place to look for discounted domains.
Got it!
