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

Requirement 1:

• Internationalization*: manual translations for approx. 10 languages, other languages translated with a tool(?)

Requirement 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.

Requirement 3:

• http only, not https

Requirement 4:

• Needs to be fast

Requirement 5:

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)
