Issue Summary
Very excited to check this module out! glad to see we are working on similar efforts for performance enhancements. I have not done much research on CDN's out there other than Akamai being the big hitter can you suggest a few of these cheaper solutions?
Comments
#1
CacheFly, which is what I'm using. 15 USD per month for 30 GB of bandwidth per month.
#2
I'm a little late to this, but I just started using PantherCDN for almost half that price on a per-GB basis. I haven't looked to see if the CDN integration module will work with it (I am currently just hosting images there and pointing there manually), but it's pretty slick. They don't post prices on the website, however, so I don't know if they give different prices to each customer. We're pulling about 600 GB/month, so that might make a difference. They might not be interested in traffic at the 30 GB/month level.
#3
korvus: what's the lowest plan they offer? Or what are you paying per GB at 600GB/month? If you'd rather not or cannot post this in public, I'd appreciate it if you could PM it to me.
And thanks for making the list more complete!
#4
Are there plans of migrating to Drupal 6?
#5
The Drupal 5 version is not ready for production use yet, I will focus on that first. After that, a Drupal 6 port will come. I don't have a timeframe though.
#6
Check out SimpleCDN, they just launched and they offer flat-rate pricing on a per file basis, so you never have to worry about bandwidth. I have a blog site running on Drupal, and I use their AutoCDN service to automatically offload my static content to them.
#7
Wow!
That *sucks* if you've got a lot of files (say a couple of hundred image and aggregated CSS/JS files). But it's *awesome* for serving big files.
Thanks for posting!
#8
Interesting approach they took! Might have to try them out
#9
Anyone here tried out simplecdn? How's it working for you? Any comments good or bad would be much appreciated. I'm considering using simplecdn myself.
#10
I'm using simpleCDN myself for http://driverpacks.net/, it's working very well. However, don't forget that you pay *per file* there!

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to mention that SimpleCDN now offers a "MirrorCDN" service... we'll mirror all your files from any HTTP store automatically, and you'll pay just $0.07 per GB. No contracts, minimums, etc.
http://www.simplecdn.com/
Should be easy to integrate... if your images are currently at: images.yoursite.com/image.jpg
all you need to do is create a mirror target to your site, which will be something like mirrorXXXX.simplecdn.com
Then point your image, css, js, etc. traffic to mirrorXXXX.simplecdn.com/image.jpg for example, and requests will be handled by the CDN.
