Issue when using two servers selling digital products.

[yito]

Hello,

I am selling the digital products using WP eStore plugin and I am using two servers to reduce burden on the original server which contains WP and Plug-ins.

– Server A contains WordPress and WP eStore plugin.

– Server B contains digital products for selling.

The current problem is, if the customer buy the digital product (size: 1GB) and click on the encrypted link, the product should be downloaded from Server B, but after downloading the product and checking the traffic of Server A, it also shows as 1GB.

Is there any way to avoid this problem as the traffic of Server A is strictly limited? Also, I don’t want customers to know the directory of the digital products on Server B.

Thank you,

Yes, use the native Amazon S3 integration feature.

The server that issues the encrypted link, normally acts as a middle man for the download process. If the source is “someplace else, ” you effectively double the bandwidth required to download the file! By using the Amazon S3 integration, the server offloads the download process to the Amazon network. The first year is free, and many users report fees of less than $1 a month.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I’ll try using Amazon S3.
