Are flash widgets still available?

What is a good hosting solution for widgets?

  • We build search and merchandising widgets/plugins for online stores. These widgets are in Flash or JS make calls to eBay, Amazon APIs and get a few million impressions a month. Typical file size is 200-400KB. Its important to have a small delta in terms of updates to widgets and for us to get reliable hosting without paying a lot of money. Traffic comes in mostly from Europe but is starting to come in from Australia and the US. We currently use AWS but I think thats overkill... would a CDN be a better approach?

  • Answer:

    I'd definitely recommend a CDN for this. You'd get much better global coverage that way.
