Ask YC: Content Delivery Networks

2 pointsby petesmithyabout 17 years ago

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

Here's a list of commercial CDN's: <a href="http://www.web-caching.com/cdns.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.web-caching.com/cdns.html</a><p>and, academic: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Delivery_Network#Academic_CDNs" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Delivery_Network#Academ...</a><p>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.
