Howdy folks,
Just thought I'd start a new thread on this topic as we recently had to go CDN shopping and something like this would've been helpful for us during that time. I encourage you to post your recommendations and warnings on CDNs here. Share what your experiences have been. Here is what we've learned over the past few months in our dealings in this area.
SIMPLECDN - www.simplecdn.com
We first tried out SimpleCDN. Their interface and admin are for the most part pretty straight forward. Which is good because their support is almost non-existent. There were occasions where we submitted tickets for help and never got a response. They just basically ignored us. But they were sure to let us know if our account needed more money in it.
Also they told us that they could do pseudo-streaming ... it turned out that apparently they could not as that feature never worked for us and support never responded to our requests for help to get it working.
MAXCDN - www.maxcdn.com
We began looking again and were directed to MaxCDN by the flowplayer guys. They gave a favorable recommendation. As a result we gave them a test-drive and have been more than pleased with their level of support, expertise, and professionalism. Our media delivery is actually a lot faster with them than it was with SimpleCDN and they have been very responsive to our needs.
Also ... their pseudo-streaming works! Not to mention we have an actual number that we can call and speak to a person not a recording. They get a double-thumbs up from us.
Please share your thoughts on the CDNs that you have tried ... this thread will really be helpful to those who are trying to make a decision in this area ...
