Websites and website updates

It is suggested to keep only one website/one domain worldwide: www.jaguarfreight.com. Currently we have two: www.jaguarfreight.com and www.jaguarfreight.com.hk.

Serving videos to users accessing website from China

Problem

‘You Tube’ is forbidden in China.

Solution

Because of mentioned restriction it is suggested to use the separate video hosting service to provide an availability the viewing of video on Jaguar Freight Service (JFS) website for visitors from China.

Video hosting service YouKu was chosen because it is based in China and provide many abilities exactly in Chinese Internet video sector.

So we should to use TWO video hosting services for storing the video:

• YouKu for Chinese visitors of JFS website,
• YouTube for all others visitors.

Each hosting should contains full set of video materials for website. But the only one appropriate address of needed video will be used for the every visitor. This address (from YouTube or YouKu) should be inserted into HTML code of the site before displaying the page on screen. For this, we should first define country from which the visitor came on the website.

To define the visitor's country we should analyze his IP Address.

Technical Note:
---------------
All space of IP Addresses in Internet is supervised by Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
In turn, IANA delegates allocations of IP address blocks to Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).
Each RIR manages the allocation and registration of Internet number resources within a particular region of the world (including IP addresses).
RIRs follow their regional policies to delegate resources to their customers, which include Internet service providers and end-user organizations.

Since JFS website builded and works on WordPress engine therefore it is reasonably to use already existing WordPress plugins that could identify visitor's geographical location by IP Address.

Technical Note:
---------------
After primary investigation the following WordPress plugins were selected for testing: "IP-to-Country" and "GeoMarketing".
