Seeking advise regarding the deployment of a custom CDN?

Dear Hosting Discussions,

I'm reaching out to gather advise regarding the deployment of a custom CDN service?

Is it cheaper to use existing CDN services or is it more cost effective in the long run to start building your own local CDN?
 
Hey there!

Deciding between using an existing CDN or building your own local one depends on a bunch of factors like your traffic, budget, and technical know-how. Generally, existing CDNs like Cloudflare or AWS CloudFront are cheaper and easier to manage because they handle scaling and maintenance for you. They've got lots of features and global reach without the big upfront costs. However, if you've got super high traffic or very specific needs, a custom CDN might save you money in the long run and give you more control, but it's a big investment in time and tech. You might want to do a cost-benefit analysis to see what fits best for your situation!
