<br></blockquote></div><br>Can anyone comment on the value / reliability / performance of Amazon's
cloudfront or S3? I know cloudfront can be used for this purpose. I'm
not sure if S3 alone has the "distribution" capability. I assume it does.<br>

<br>I've not tried either. Pay as you go hosting kinda scares me. I guess it's a fear of what success (or excessive crawling/hyperlinking) could do to my pocketbook.<br><br>I don't think they have a datacenter in Atlanta.<br>

Thanks<br>
