Regarding the load time, using static HTML with a site generator would yield great results here. There really is not reason to be using PHP here. A great optio

A great option is to put it on S3 and distribute it with CloudFront.
- kintamanimatt 13y agoEven that might be overkill. Static files served up by Nginx would do the trick nicely. For a brochure site that isn't going to see anywhere near as much traffic in such a short period of time ever again, a CDN is even overkill.
- krallin 13y agoI agree that Nginx would be sufficient. However, configuring S3 + CloudFront really isn't that much effort (I'd argue it's even simpler than Nginx). It's not that expensive either! : ) It would probably even be within the free tier if I'm not mistaken.
- tahoecoder 13y agoYeah, good call. I wasn't expecting this kind of surge so I didn't plan ahead.
- espeed 13y agoGitHub Pages (http://pages.github.com/ http://pages.github.com/) with a custom domain is even easier.
- philip1209 13y agoOr, combining the above two comments, Jekyll on Cloudfront with Jekyll-S3
- bradgessler 13y agoYep, take a look at http://middlemanapp.com/ http://middlemanapp.com/ and https://github.com/polleverywhere/shart https://github.com/polleverywhere/shart.
- tahoecoder 13y agoThanks for those resources. Didn't know about them and they look really useful.
