Webair doesn't have a good rep..... They have hundreds of shills posting for their referral
fees, and a bunch of non-tech managers who believe the hype.

has anyone done real studies to show the improvements gained from CDN usage versus beefing up current hosting plans?

There have been many studies showing CDN is faster, just search online and you will find tons of information, but the most compelling I think is that this is absolutely the way mainstream has been delivering their traffic for years. Sites that use CDN today and have been doing so since the mid 90s include Amazon, Google, Apple,Microsoft, Ebay, Disney,CNN, and the list goes on and on.

Adult has not used CDN for 2 reasons. 1) It has up till now been way too expensive for programs looking to keep content lean and profit margins high, especially the way bandwidth pricing has dropped in the last 5 years. 2) there has not been a significant CDN player in quite a while who has been willing to accept adult content. The largest player Akamai shut off Adult when it went public and all the mid tear players were either bought by them or put out of business by them.

We are still offering a free trial on the Cave Creek/ Level 3 CDN why not just see for yourself. Anecdotal evidence and spreadsheets do not compete with real life experience.

We have and have been very impressed. There was a increase in speed to US customers but the biggest difference we saw was in europe and asia.

webair 04-22-2008 08:56 AM
Agreed Charles we been have impressed with the speeds and technology our CDN offers as well. It seems that L3 will be switching over to the technology we are currently have available!

I'd love for you to test it out on a free trial basis and compare it to what you are currently on!

I have always been a believer in not bashing my competition. If you have a good service then it should speak for itself

L3 is adding Longtail as part of their service set,not in place of , but they are setting it up to support thousands of servers in numerous locations worldwide. It is hardly the same thing . In addition they are releasing Flash 3.0 streaming supporting h.264 streaming as well as Silverlight streaming, Geo-ip blocking , tokenbased authentication, standing up 250TB of storage in 4 locations in US and Europe.

This is a service they have invested millions in to grow out and develop and it is based on technology which has survived patent suits from all the major players.

Sounds like you guys have servers doing DNS redirection and calling it CDN. how come there is zero information on your site?

webair 04-22-2008 10:20 AM
Brian my statement was not intended as a 'bash'. I was simply stating a fact supported by the link i posted. Actually, I think it was complimentary of me to mention that L3 was upgrading their CDN technology. Additionally, we offer the similar services Geo-ip blocking , Tokenbased Authentication, Network storage, & video streaming these are not new services. Personally, I think Level 3 is a great company we purchase IP from them on a regular basis.

TurboAngel 04-22-2008 10:42 AM
Well Webair has Mike and I just love him!

:)

Does CDN works well with load balanced servers and content that often changes/uploaded user videos?

Webmaster Checks,

The main differences between our CDN and the others including Level 3, is that our CDN offers PUSH Technology which gives the customer more control over the content on the CDN & allows for instant content updates without having to change meta tags or waiting for cache timeouts. This model allows for increased REDUNDANCY & SECURITY over traditional CDN models as well.

Here are a few other options that we offer with our CDN:

- Share bandwidth commits between your servers and your CDN.
- Drag and drop content from traditional hosting to CDN hosting
- Seamlessly integrated into our USER FRIENDLY control panel or simple FTP client.
- Full web based stats package included

All of this can be managed from one account! with level 3 it's a separate company so you will have 2 accounts to manage. If you are an existing WEBAIR.COM client you can manage everything under one account!

I'm not here to slam Level 3 or any of their clients such as Cave Creek, I am simply pointing out the facts. Level3 bought their CDN from Savvis, who bought it from Cable and Wireless, who bought it from Digital Island. If you are a business owner you can imagine the fallout of the people who created and managed it along the way! Level3 is a carrier company, not to mention it's simply older technology. With traditional cache based CDN your content is deleted after a certain set time parameter is reached. With our CDN your content is actually duplicated and stored across 15 locations and distributed instantly! It's always there!

This makes for a FASTER more ROBUST type of CDN...


Q & A::
==============================

BrianL - We do not resell high winds.

==============================

Karupted Charles - You know as well as i do how quickly technology changes! I invite you guys to come and test our services. BTW - How have you been my friend long time no speak =) Miss you bud!

==============================

Grays "We (ATK) are using the Level 3 CDN and it is amazing the difference before and after. As far as performance its awesome, and we are getting some VERY competitive pricing on it. Now the only con I am seeing on it right now is the provisioning time is a little long, like usually a week, but for the price they are giving me I can not complain."

- We can set you up INSTANTLY if you would like a test please feel free to contact me. As far as rates go we are very competitive.

===============================

jcsike - Our offer goes out to you as well please feel free to contact me If you would like to try us out!
