You just use a different server here, or you have a more sophisticated method?

Offloading both the image processing and the delivery of the thumbnails is a must for any web application that demands performance and responsiveness.

You can use it to create thumbnails on-demand and offload all the processing from your server. Just by using a special HTML attribute of the img tag, you can enumerate image manipulations that have to be applied - resizing, cropping, flipping, rotating, etc. The thumbnails get delivered from their cache servers, eliminating any problems with bandwidth consumption from images.
