Ask YC: Content Delivery Networks

2 pointspetesmithy18 years ago7 comments

Anyone had a good experience of a CDN provider? We're just looking for somewhere to offload our static files (images, style sheets. JavaScript) to help the site run faster, no requirement for streaming media or anything like that.

We don't need much storage, nothing fancy - just well-distributed servers.. And 'affordable' (cheap).

Here's a list of commercial CDN's: http://www.web-caching.com/cdns.html

and, academic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Delivery_Network#Academ...

And, S3 is storage, not a CDN.

At my previous employer, we used CacheFly and were pretty happy with them. However, I know a lot of people are happy with S3.

We use Mirror Image. Relatively cheap, once we beat them up^W^W^Wnegotiated a bit over price.
