CloudFiles™

CloudFiles™ is a Content Delivery Network, or CDN, where you upload your content and your consumers will pull it from a location closest to them. For example, say you created an awesome video and want to share it with your customers in Boston and Australia but your website is hosted in Texas. Your Boston customers will pull up your website and view the video. It might take a few seconds to download from your server in Texas but for the most part it will be fast for them. However, your Australian customers will experience a much longer wait time due to the longer distance.

By uploading that video to a Content Delivery Network you essentially publish the video to servers around the world. So now your Boston and Australian customers will get the video even faster because they are accessing it from servers much closer to them.

Q: Can I use the CDN to make my whole site faster?
A: YES! You can publish JavaScript, CSS, images, and other content to the CDN so that people accessing your website will pull it from the location closest to them.

If you want to add a Content Delivery Network to your account please contact us for more information.

I need the speed!
