Initially it wasn't working so I decided to clear cachey. To make it optimal, i installed APP SERVER. As a backup, I have Flash copy running.

I read that with S3 you can incur overhead for serving many smaller files (i.e. static website images, text, etc). and that would also have more GET requests which you have to pay for...mind you only $.01 for 10,000 requests. What if you grabbed a whole set of files...zipped or otherwise packaged together to be stored, saved/retained and fetched from S3 as one file. Then on EC2 instance uncompress/unpackage and save on local server storage on in cache. Does this make sense? I am still in the planning phases of the "cloud" architecture...sure adds a twist on things. This maybe only be applicable if ever ramping you to very large thoroughput with having many users and associated file requests served up. Mark Bobsin Markham Ontario Canada Hi everyone,

I've gone the virtual-hosting route with a DNS CNAME pointing to my bucket, but this totally doesn't work with SSL. Any feedback on / if you've run into any SSL solutions / issues would be appreciated. I’ve been playing with serving all of my assets on S3, but run into the issue of SSL.

Much less hassle for my server, which can now concentrate on serving the dynamic pages and running a database. And I've saved a bundle on bandwidth costs, too. (I use Feedburner for things like RSS feeds; which is just as sensible a route to take, I guess) I’ve done exactly the same thing on http://www.mediauk.com – all the static files (graphics, CSS, audio, etc) are on S3 now.
