We're relaunching our website and the new site is being hosted on a dedi server @ Softlayer.
We're also using Rackspace, to host our documents etc, however...
My colleague has also put the websites JavaScript & CSS documents onto Rackspace, as well as the sites images. This, he says will mean quicker page loading times (and also saving money on bandwidth)
Now I am not sure what the bandwidth charges, but in terms of page loading, is this correct?
I would assume that the documents being hosted on the same server would be quicker (same Nameservers etc) than fetching from an external provider, but I may be very wrong.
The website won't be used internationally, but we have ~10,000 members which would use our interactive site.
I would appreciate your comments / discussions regarding this.
Thanks! :)
