  DSA is great. Better in some instances than CDNinaBox.com if you have the right traffic patterns. DSA leverages 50+ Points of presence however. And until your content is requested at each PoP it doesn't exist there. So if a visitor hits yourdomain.com/awesomeness and then the Google Ad bot hits the same page with DSA unless the user and the adbot came from the same-ish place you still get 2 hits on your server. With CDN In a Box there are multiple cache tiers so if you get 2 requests from the same place you get Super Mega Turbo (that's the technical name) response, if they are farther apart you only get Mega Turbo, and if they are really far apart you only get turbo. But you still only put the load of 1 request on your server, per cache interval. Akamai is better if you have an event you KNOW is going to be big, can plan for the capacity, and has a finite number of pages you need cached. CDNInABox.com could handle the traffic for the Indy500 or Kentucky derby, but Akamai would be a better choice. We aren't attempting to be all things to all people. But our lower barrier to entry, and our greater ease of installation makes us a great choice for a large segment of the internet that aren't in the right class for DSA.
