All pricing examples represent published and/or typical list prices for CDN and Storage Network services. Some CDNs may offer bulk discounts with over 10,000 GBs per month traffic volume. Other CDNs may provide free storage with monthly commitment levels. It's all very confusing!
*Amazon S3 is NOT a true CDN service.
Instantly improve your file delivery performance AND lower your costs by using SimpleCDN's MirrorCDN service. As an example, you can keep using Amazon S3 as an origin media store... but let SimpleCDN do the delivery via MirrorCDN.
