Along the same lines as Stylex, there's CDN.net It's more fine grained if you're serious about specific regions.

Instead of using PHP to sync files, you can run Varnish in front of nginx on every node. With nginx, proxy back to a master node which is configured with the files you want to serve, or with a root domain to map requests too. That way, varnish will cache the files, and if it doesn't find anything, it will drop back to nginx which will request it from the master. This requires no programming, and if you manage the nodes with something like puppet or chef, it's very easy to spin up new nodes and reconfigure them to serve additional sites or change where the master is.

Edge set purge is something that is missing from that tutorial.

Hm, just an idea, but couldn't you buy 100gb from Google Drive for $2 a month (or use the 15gb free) and use that as a CDN? I use it every now and then for hosting images, css and other small files.

Bandwidth limits.

edit: I was impressed at first, but um... now I'm puzzled. Double check your calcs because AWS 10GB is not $88.

marcm

@tchen $80+ is for like 1TB backup on AWS S3 and something like $60+ is for reduced latency (whatever that means).

His error is in the http request calcs.

I think that http://www.cdncalc.com/ provides some pretty good options. Nothing worth paying for will be dirt cheap, that's for sure.

At that time, I was design the system to handle multiple domain and multiple backend. I was putting nginx on top of varnish for traffic accounting purpose.

It's also OnApp who I would rather not deal with.

I would bother if only MaxCDN wasn't hardcoded to be the 'recommended' option. Call me picky for not choosing to contrib to sponsored advertising.

jimaek

Its my personal project not a corporate one, but yeah I understand

dnwk

I use MaxCDN before. Lots of problems
