Best Current Adult CDN? - GoFuckYourself.com

Johnnyroq · 08-22-2013, 09:51 AM

Hey guys -

Pitch me a couple CDNs that are adult friendly.

I have some awesome options, but I always want to come to GFY to see what you guys can throw at me.

I've tried a couple..

http://www.leaseweb.com/en/support/all-about/cdn was cool during the free beta period, but unsure about their pricing now..

I'm with http://www.maxcdn.com/ now, happy customer..

i use cloudflare... It's free, saves me a lot of banderwith, caches my pages and serves a cached version if my server goes down, makes my DNS management easy, ...

The only downsides are that it isn't as fast as paying CDN's, you still need to host a version of the files on your own server, and you have no guarantees whatsoever.

I was thinking about switching to the payed version, but it's a bit expensive, and a lot of reviews are talking about the fact that the price isn't worth the difference in service level you get when paying...

AFAIK, CloudFlare is not actually a CDN, but more of a optimizer and it caches your pages for faster serving. Their site says that their service works great in conjunction with a CDN.

I find it a difficult discussion... It does save me a lot of banderwith, and makes my pages a bit faster, so it's basically a CDN

On the other hand, you still need to host all files on your own servers, witch contradicts a CDN...

They contradict themselfs to... They call themselfs a CDN, but they DO say they work great with a CDN on the same website...

In the end, it doesn't even matter, it's a good service for free

I believe our BDM is finalising plans to use our inhouse CDN as a product for sale. (abbywinters.com).

Fast. Bound to be cost competitive.

Johnny,

Please have a look at our CDN specials here.

Or feel free to contact us if you have unique CDN needs.

We'd be happy to create a custom solution for you.

Cheers!

Their website doesn't do a good job of describing it. I actually left it more confused than when I visited.

You'd need to host all files on your own server even if you used a CDN. Dependent on if you used push or pull, the files will always originate from your servers. Push = files are automatically sent to the CDN when you upload them to your server. Push = Files are only sent to the CDN the first time they are requested by an end user.

Then you have CDN storage to contend with. You can either opt to use their storage, in which case (mostly) files reside on the CDN nodes forever or you don't use their storage and the files expire from nodes at a specified time.

So a site like PornHub can host all of their videos through CloudFlare and not pay for bandwidth? Or will it just use their CDN to serve the pages while PornHub would have to serve the videos through their own CDN?

The short answer is yes, they could. But sites like pornhub will invariably require things like 24/7 support and a service level agreement. Maybe even DDoS protection. These options are only available in limited capacity via their "Business" plan or to full effect via their Enterprise plan.

I contacted them about a year ago and wanted a commitment of 200mbit and was turned of by their quote of close to $32/Mbit. This was for the enterprise plan.

Jay_StandAhead · 08-23-2013, 05:35 PM

This is my point of view, as a long time CDN customer who's also been through countless hosting companies:

We've been using CDN for over 3 years now. We tested several providers (HighWinds, EdgeCast, Level3, 3Crowd, LimeLight and a couple others I'm forgetting) using A/B tests and measuring latency, download speed and Up-time for small objects (images) and large objects (videos).

It turned out that overall, Level3 (who provide the CDN for resellers like Reflected/Swiftwill and others), is the best solution. They provide the bandwidth for NetFlix so their infrastructure is robust, their prices are unbeatable if you use a reseller with enough leverage, and all the features you can imagine are already built into their system.

Regardless of who you go with (a reseller or Level3 directly), I think it's a good choice ;)

And after having tested 2 separate Level3 resellers, I can say that Reflected.net has the best support. Their techs are accountable, they reply to tickets promptly, and their integration of the CDN is very impressive (the admin has graphs per location, bandwidth per domain, file invalidation, config, etc). Plus, if ever their techs make a mistake, not only do they own up to it immediately but you'll enjoy a credit rather than be given the figurative "talk to the hand" response.

There are other companies that offer packet optimization and/or other types of non-CDN page load "accelerators" but if you have enough bandwidth, the beauty of CDN is that you can push several hundred Mbps, even multiple Gbps using a single origin server (lower server purchase/rental fees, near infinite scalability, etc).

Johnnyroq · 08-27-2013, 12:51 PM

Anyone had any issues with MaxCDN/NetDNA?

We have spoken at length with them and they seem to be a good provider.

I should have been a tad bit more specific - our storage is on Amazon S3, so its a must to find a CDN that is compatible.
