[Tilecache] wms-c hosting

[Paul Ramsey]

Have you thought about using S3?  You can write the tiles into the S3  
buckets so they have valid WMS-C URL signatures, or you can write  
them so they have TMS URL signatures. Either way, you can then point  
a WMS-C or TMS client (OpenLayers) at them and get high-speed retrieval.

Or if you already have a place to run TileCache, run TileCache on  
your machine, and use the S3 storage option  to store the tiles  
remotely in S3.
