1 TB CDN for $5, from CDN.net - 9 locations, APAC included.
Hi All,
We've put together a special plan just for LET users. Plenty of bandwidth, worldwide locations.
1 TB of Bandwidth
$5 per month
Overages priced at $.02 per GB
Signup here
Locations Provided
North America: Dallas, San Jose, Seattle, Washington
Europe: Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Milan
APAC: Singapore
Why use a CDN?
A few reasons: better worldwide performance. Reduce resource consumption on your server. Reduce bandwidth usage on your server.
What do I get with CDN.net?
1 TB of worldwide bandwidth, with the HostBill control panel. OnApp access is given as well. Simply, monthly fixed cost, payable by credit card. 24x7 ticket based support, out of London, England & Logan, Utah, USA.
Any questions? Want more bandwidth? Ping me: [email protected]

I'll signup when as soon as you launch SolusVM v2...
Nice offer. I wish you continued success.
How many zones can be created?
No PayPal payment gateway?
No limit on zones. I will tell you we've seen some issues with clients attempting to manage 100+ through HostBill, so I wouldn't suggest that. Otherwise, no problems.
Unfortunately paypal is not accepted at this time. Perhaps sometime in the future.
A bit OT question: are you happy with HostBill?
Does that include Custom CNAMEs and custom SSL certs?
Love it. You know, everything is configuration sensitive, so things break. But we have a good understanding of HostBill - we don't rush to update to the latest & greatest - and we generally have no problems.
No, unfortunately there are some limitations with this plan. Happy to talk more if that's something you're interested in - [email protected].
PoP test IP available?
Hi there, if you email me, I can get you a test resource
Any blocks for sale? Rather than monthly?
i.e. 1TB to use any time until it expires.
Also intrigued about this.
Singapore included by default or extension to $5 package ?
Hi there, Singapore is included by default.
We do have pay as you go pricing available. It's quite a bit more expensive per GB than the plan advertised here though - http://hb.cdn.net/index.php?/cart/payg/
BURRRNNNNNNN
OMG
They don't force SSL on billing,
Thanks for pointing this out. I will have this fixed immediately. I use the https everywhere plugin for Chrome and honestly hadn't noticed.
OK. That's interesting.
My fault - I switched live chat software... it's been a struggle of mine to find one I consider beautiful. When I switched, I cleared the cache and you must've caught it at the perfect time.
I don't like the payg pricing. I would be more interested in like what he said, you purchase 1TB until it expires (not time based). Then you will gain me as customer and many others probably.
Hi, I think it's actually the same thing just displayed opposite from what you're used to? Each gigabyte of CDN you use withdrawals from your pre-deposited balance. It's not time based -- no monthly payments or anything on PAYG pricing. Rather you deposit funds and replenish as they run out.
If you have a popular site pushing 10+ TB a month, we can talk about volume discounts and adding certain PoPs that are best suited for your visitors. Feel free to email me at [email protected] and we can talk more.
So $10 PAYG gets you 125GB vs $5 a month for 1 TB?
HUGE difference in price.
Well, one is a LET offer with 9 locations and the other likely has all of their datacenters and mainstream pricing.
I signed up. I too would love to see a similarly priced PAYG. Even double the price for non-expiring $10/1TB would be amazing.
My initial thoughts after 10-20 minutes:
The management interface is pretty minimal. I'm a super simple user so it has most everything I need, but if you compare it to BunnyCDN's panel it just doesn't stand up.
The SSL cert on the domain I was given isn't valid. I got xxx.r.worldcdn.net for my CDN url, which isn't one of the alt names on the cert:
DNS Name: backend.omega.onappcdn.com DNS Name: cdn.metem.eu DNS Name: r.worldssl.net DNS Name: *.r.worldssl.net DNS Name: s.pacn.ws DNS Name: secure.claro.com.br DNS Name: www.r.worldssl.net DNS Name: *.www.r.worldssl.net
Combine that with my inability to add my own cert, it means I'm stuck with invalid SSL.
The speeds are pretty good overall. One of my servers in Chicago with an APA IP got routed to Singapore, so its speed varied but sometimes it still did 7MB/s. Other servers with proper routes hit 20-50MB/s. I did enable prefetch on my test file, but there still seemed to be a slight slow start before it ramped up, as you often see with pull zone CDNs. Of course it takes more than 10 minutes of testing to truly understand how a CDN preforms.
Two other things. My welcome email came with HTML all over it, but seemingly not as an HTML email. Also I wasn't able to find where my login details were for OnApp, the directions are there but the information simply didn't seem to be where it said to look.
If CDN.net modernized a little (better panel, Lets Encrypt support, better stats) it would help a long way. That said, performance is what matters, and I have performance issues at BunnyCDN, so I think I'll give CDN.net a month trial.
Disclaimer: I by no means am a poweruser when it comes to CDNs. I find them fun to play with and use them for my own small projects.
Correct - this plan is exclusive to LET & has about half our normal locations.
Thanks for the very indepth review for just a few hours @hackedserver. I agree with a few of your statements, and it's something I'm aware of. I will admit that right now as the PM of OnApp retail (CDN.net & Cloud.net) our devs are focused mostly on Cloud.net, and I have been focused on making the network as kickass as possible at CDN.net with the network team. Just recently we sourced infrastructure from Nepal & Cambodia specifically for a SE Asian focused online university, which was fun. There are some things that I believe we can fix immediately (re: email templates... that's no good!) and I'll get started on them immediately tomorrow (today? ugh, it is 3am) morning.
I was interested in this at first, but after some examination I'm not sure if it'll fit my needs.
From what I can see with the CNAME configuration, cdn.net doesn't want to be the source of the files, just the cache for them.
When a user requests a file from cdn.example.com, it connects to your system which serves the file if it's already cached. If it didn't know about the file, it connects to the backend server specified by me in order to request the file and then caches it at all the POP's. Is this correct?
I'm looking for a CDN where I can connect somewhere and upload files and then it becomes available in multiple POP's. Perhaps also issue commands to the backend to make a "locked" file available with some kind of passkey or to an IP address.
Your service seems to basically be the CDN capabilities of Cloudflare. I'm looking more for something like S3 with multiple POPs. I don't want to have to host my own file server.
Am I correct in my assessment of your service?
@deftnerd - Correct, we don't offer push CDN at this time.
