- juliansimioni 6y agoThe main advantage that AWS will have for us over anything else is that, since AWS already manages our DNS, we are going to be able to offer our visitors the best performance by using geo-specific IP addresses. The static site in question for us lives at the apex record (mywebsite.com), so it's generally not possible for other providers to do this without having them manage our entire DNS infrastructure, which we aren't willing to do. In fact I think this is part of why we've had so many issues with Netlify. It's clear their preferred way to host apex domain sites is to manage the DNS completely.
- avianlyric 6y agoI think cloudflare can do it. They give you the option to set A records for your domain, in your own DNS. Cloudflare runs an AnyCast[0] network and multiple peers, so even through your using static IPs, the traffic will still get routed to Cloudflare nearest PoP, and pages is served by their edge network, so your site will be served from the location nearest to your customer. All without DNS shenanigans. [0] https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/learning/cdn/glossary/anycast-network/ https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/learning/cdn/glossary/anyca...
