It’s been a while since I updated the blog, busy as usual
A lot has happened since this post, with some really exciting newcomers into the CDN market. http://www.cloudflare.com being one such newcomer. The service is free to start with and probably all most people need. Offloading your sites content to their ‘origin pull’ CDN and provides network filtering protection, perfect for wordpress blogs! No more getting hacked by common wp 0 days as long as the cloudflare folks keep up with the filters.

As far as pure CDN goes, I reckon Akamai are still the best, especially for asia pacific, but level 3, edgecast are all good too. Orcon run a CDN, but are only providing CDN services for large customers streaming requirements. Not sure when or if they will bring a product to market for the commoners – I left the building just last week, so I won’t get the inside gossip. http://www.web-hosting.com are going to release a cloudflare enabled hosting service, specifically targeting wordpress users, within the near future. You’ll just sign up and wordpress would be automatically installed with all the latest cdn and caching modules pre-configured. Could save some time with all those wordpress sites!
