So if you spent just $200/mo on a CDN, Did you really need that CDN at all?

- rdl 14y agoThat's irrelevant. A free hobby site might be worth spending $200/mo on CDN for, but I'm not going to drop the $10-30k/mo to get an $AKAM sales rep to call me back. If you're doing mostly static data which rarely changes, you can probably get very high hit rates on CloudFlare, and it's cheaper than even crappy $750/Gbps/mo colo bandwidth then.

- rdl 14y agoI thought it was Limelight by default, and you had to pay extra for Akamai. (EDIT: I guess they switched; I haven't kept up with Rackspace)
