Is CDN Good For International Website?
It would sure help to get more specifics on the geographical area you intend to serve and the amount of traffic you expect. Where is your app/db server(s) and what kind of hardware will you be running? What kind of data will you be serving? Generally speaking, CDNs are built to scale to high traffic loads with low latency and high availability. A VPS would need to be configured for the type of data being served and would need to be constantly and consistently monitored for performance, whereas a CDN could be considered more of a set-it-and-forget-it service, granted you've built your application to utilize it properly. My best answer for you is to go with a CDN. The only case I could see you wanting to use a VPS is if it's cheaper and you server load is known and constant.

Change Lang. IP base, Browser Base or Manually?
Hi Guys,Gianluca brings up some good points.Talking about very real situations that happen to me quite often. I will prefer to read German and if there is a conversion like a purchase obviously I will have to back out and find the product that I hope is in stock for the US market.I think placing something the language that is native to the country and you can only hope the visitor. "We saw you are visiting us from the USA. If you want you can go to www.domain.com. If not, do not consider this advice" (this is what Amazon does, for instance). Gianluca User see the English version and can change the language manually? I would say user see native version for whatever country you're actually assuming that they are visiting from. Well said GianlucaAll the best,Thomas
