Should I use Azure VPS ? Or should I use a more standard shared setup?

Hi guys, need some guidance here if you could oblige?

I’m looking at building a new website which needs some content switches for regions of the world, aswell as multi-language support. Can anyone recommend how to meet my requirements.


Question 1: Should I use Wordpress?

Question 2: Hosting? Should I use Azure VPS ? Or should I use a more standard shared setup?


Type of site: Simple brochure wear/comparison site, no server-side logic (apart from CMS text in DB?)

Target audience: Global


Requirements:

1. Internationalization*: manual translations for approx. 10 languages, other languages translated with a tool(?)
2. Content needs to be dependent on the region of the world the user is in i.e. for users in the U.S. remove a subsection on a page and remove a page from a drop-down menulist etc.
3. Needs to be fast
4. It’s my startup, so inevitably low hosting/cloud costs are key

*In terms of SEO, I believe Google rankings now favour locality – so should I have one site under ‘.com’ which is translated to the user’s language (based on regional settings?) OR should I actually split the sites to different Top Level Domains per country i.e. .de, .fr, .co.uk (I think maintenance of this could be painful.. rolling out content updates etc)

 

I would use a .com , wordpress 5.0 and use a cloud linux based provider it will save you more money and Perform Better any other questions please fee free to ask
