Hi Warriors

Just got an email from a buddy today about this new service.
I've been using S3 for a while but this looks really promising.

The WPCDN is not only a storage facility like S3 but also a CDN meaning that your site and all the files on it (images, video, downloads) will stream much faster.

Anyone here a user?

I think this could be fantastic for membership sites.
That means you can host your membership sites on very low cost servers and combine it with WPCDN and you'll have world class performance for a 10th of the price compared to hosting a big active membership site on a dedicated server.

Let me know your thoughts

Cheers
Reinhardt

Thanks for the heads up, but I just went to play one of their videos and it was a bit choppy.

Will keep an eye on them.

S3 is easier to expand on I think.

True true, S3 is also more well known.

However, the new wordpress service has a plugin

It can really make things a lot easier.

I just did the speed test download and it's pretty darn fast.
Maybe the video file size is also big.

Cheers

Hi Jill,

I'm sorry to hear that our video was choppy for you. Please keep in mind that the performance will also depend on your Internet connection speed. We debated what size video to put on the site as an example, and maybe we chose something a little too big. Instead of showing a postage-stamp-sized video, we decided to show something more substantial as an example of what our system can do. I can assure you that the video is served up quickly.

For anyone wondering about us being a new company, don't worry. Our network is provided by Highwinds, a leader in CDN for more than a decade. Our sister company, CU CDN, has been a leading provider for six months now, and we're a division of a media technology company that's been in business for a few years now. You may notice a testimonial from Brian Gardner on our site saying that he's known us for over a year, and knows our commitment to the WordPress community.

As for ease of use, our plugin makes the service very easy to use, and we also offer a user-friendly control panel for uploading videos, etc. You can also use FTP. We'll enhance our site to show more about these features. Our WordPress functions are not limited to our plugin either. We'll soon post details about using our service with other CDN plugins and caching plug-ins.

I am not trying to spam this forum, I'm mainly trying to respond to the items that were mentioned.
