CDN Pricing and Availability

[ospadano]

the DNS redirect add overhead too, but it's invisible, so highwinds recognised this, in december a new system is coming out that will take the 301 away.

It is good to know that Highwinds recognised their weakness and sort it out.
Not only DNS redirect is invisible, but is much "cheaper" and quicker.

In my opinion Highwinds should have two type of settings/profiles. Large Media, where an HTTP redirect overhead and the additional functionalities that comes with it is good, and Small Media, where response time is the highest priority. You won't be able to have one solution that satisfy both requirements.

No wonder the loading time for my sites become longer with CDN. I have confirmed that using pingdom tools. The redirect adds more loading time.

BTW, december 2009 has gone or are we referring to december 2010?
