It's really depends if my website contains only static or dynamic content. If my website has only static content, I prefer to have a simple dedicated server on OVH[1] with Amazon CloudFront[2] as CDN. It is very cheap and provide a very service wordwide with the CDN. Amazon CloudFront is better than Amazon S3 for a worldwide scenario since your static files are always close to your users. Note that you must directly reference your Cloudfront instance in your DNS to avoid any SPOF. When my website has some dynamic content, it is another story. I use Amazon RDS[3] as Database with a Multi-AZ Deployments. For the CPU I use different amazon EC2[4] instances in the region that provide the best latency for my users (in general us-east since I want good performances in North America and Europe). I then use Amazon CloudFront CDN[2] to deliver the static content of my website. In any case, I use Route 53[5] as DNS.
