Just wondering – do you have any experience setting up a CDN with WordPress on Alibaba Cloud? Looking for some tips. Thanks!
Hey Piers, you could try a CDN service provider in mainland instead of setup Alibaba Cloud yourself. That would be more efficient.
Nice article.
I am a bit confused between alibaba ECS and Web hosting. Do you what are their differences?
Also in this way, does Alibaba web hosting support PHP and SQL?
Thank You. I think ECS is another type, web hosting is the most basic and cheapest one. And they are all support PHP and SQL.
