The bandwidth is not cheap. I'll need about 5 mbps to serve ads. It would cost me $120 dollar a month to serve those ads from the CDN.
For that kind of money, I could get a dedicated ad server with 10mbps. 
And I could even save bandwidth if the right headers are used.
I guess I'll only use the CDN for small files and keep serving those ads from my own server.
Anybody using CDNs? Anybody else annoyed that CDNs send no-cache headers? |
Usually CDNs allow you to set your own cache expiry...
Also your statement about, "for that kind of money" doesn't really make any sense as a CDN is vastly superior to a single dedicated box; that's the point of it :P
