I am looking for a CDN host so I can host all my images, js, and css for my site there. Please let me know asap

Is it location specific? If you want US-only - I'd say The NY NOC now it is Steadfast owned. Otherwise, checkout The Planet ;)

What's your budget... Akamai?

What's your budget... Akamai?

My budget is about 10$/month. I dont require alot of bandwidth or space so I doubt it will go up to 10$/month. Im trying simplecdn which seems pretty good right now

You likely won't find a full blown CDN with a set budget like that - the majority of them go based off usage and without some sort of contract they're pretty expensive.

I'd recommend finding a reseller who has lower rates or not using a CDN at all :)

That's Edgecast

Amazon Cloudfront, SimpleCDN or Cachefly? I don't think you'll find much options for $10/mo.

Even cheap CDN's start off around $450+

I'm really happy with Rackspace's Cloud Files offering with the CDN addon...it works a treat for me, and it runs off Limelight's POPs as far as I'm aware.

Not quite; you can resellers for many of the top tier CDNs that are much lower than that price point (Softlayer/Internap, Rackspace/Limelight, Distribution Cloud/Akamai, GoGrid/Edgecast, etc.). Mid tier CDNs like Panther/CDNetworks also have service offerings with no minimums, as do some of the Highwinds resellers. Though I'll agree $10/mo may be a bit low; for $50/mo or thereabouts, you should be able to get in at the ground floor for many of the resellers listed above.

I don't think you'll be able to find a worldwide CDN for $10/mo at any bandwidth level

If you require such little bandwidth, you don't need a CDN. I don't think you understand quite what its for after reading that... its not for a few hits a month..

well i have a cdn right now and I already used 8 gb bw this month. My site is hosted in europe so I want the site to load good for ppl all over the world

You guys really need to understand cache misses, a CDN doesn't do you any good if evertime a file is requested it is never in cache and needs to pull from the origin server. If your pushing a few GB per month you would probably almost never have anything at the edge on cache.

You mean every file uploaded to the ingest server(s) aren't automagically distributed to every server the CDN provides?!

Listen to this man, he speaks the truth.

If you aren't having any problems with Simplecdn, why leave. The good thing about simplecdn is that they don't charge for each request. Amazon is your next best option but they charge around $.01 for 1000 file requests. Those can add up quick if you are getting a lot of small files.

Have you tried MaxCDN ? NetDNA sister company I guess

You should look into file hosts then, instead of caching CDNs.

I would recommend the Amazon s3.

This is true if you contract with the major CDNs directly. However, there are lots of other options including resellers and smaller CDNs with comparable performance. Here are a few options:

Edgecast (#3 CDN in marketshare, very good performance) resold through GoGrid: $0.30/GB no min commit
CacheFly (excellent anycast CDN, great performance): $15/mo (30 GB)
MaxCDN (another great anycast CDN): $10 for 1000 GB (not monthly, as long as it takes for you to use that)

Not in the traditional reverse proxy caching type CDN that most providers offer.

Some providers will offer other CDN types, like file based CDN which is what you would be referring to. It's easy enough to implement, probably easier than the above, but is much less common.

There are also streaming CDN's, which require a fair bit more complexity.

Some CDN providers do offer such a service - for example, CacheFly does this. Obviously disk space is more costly as a result, so it may not be as economical as a normal caching CDN, but definitely better if you don't have a lot of traffic (at least not enough to where caching makes sense).

You could try PAYG CDN such as from VPS.net - you could buy the minimum and use that. Its not $10 per month, but if you are low volume then it may be equivalent.

take a look at istreamlive

Try Google Storage (http://code.google.com/apis/storage)?
It's free with 300GB bandwidth

I have an account with AISO.net. They resell EdgeCast. I was able to get an account for very cheap rate. The minimum monthly payment for me is $10.

PM me if you want their email id.

Fiddlesticks. I was hoping you were looking for a good CanaDiaN host. We are working together with Strike Internet to develop a custom CDN for our SaaS setups and networks of sites. I'm happy to work together with people and pool resources to provide less limited access to a more powerful network...

As others have mentioned, use http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/. It is the best option for low budgets / low usage.

mirrorimage.com but they are not near your budget

I'm with Rackspace using their Cloud Files. They have a good CDN since they're using Limelightnetworks.

simplecdn.com. is one of the best site for your purpose i think, please check it out.

MaxCDN is what we use... very simple to start serving files.

Anycast network, lots of edge locations.

$99/1TB flat cost --- have entire year to use that. Might be less with new accounts and/or coupons.

Works very good--- can't speak highly enough of MaxCDN.

I've been recently testing out GoGrid/EdgeCast CDN. I have found it to be more responsive than Rackspace Cloud Files/Limelightnetworks CDN. It's a bit more expensive than other CDN providers but the extra cost is justified.

While we're discussing CDNs... does anyone have any experience with Cachecentric? (cachecentric.com) Their network looks promising, and their pricing is attractive, but they won't return my e-mails, and never setup my account, even after waiting for activation for about a week, which I find more than a tad off-putting. :/

Also worth looking at might be Comcities - http://www.comcities.com/content_delivery_network.php - who apparently have a 1TB minimum prepay commitment, at something like $0.06/GB. (And very fast support - they replied to a presales e-mail in three minutes.)

We have an account with MaxCDN, and use them for a couple customers' sites, and have no complaints whatsoever.

I also have been playing around with CloudFlare, and am reasonably impressed so far, especially given the price. Not many POPs, and the CDN side of the business, on the free side, anyway, is kind of feature-poo, but it does what it's supposed to, so...

Comcities resells for Highwinds if I'm not mistaken.

SimpleCDN does a pretty good job and is on the cheaper end of the spectrum, take a look at them.
If you just need static file hosting and the CDN part isn't that important then look at Amazon's S3 service
