At Farba, we are building a zero-cost CDN infrastructure where all edge servers belong to anonymous Peers. A Peer can rent a server, set up a competitive price, and earn money when serving someone's static web content. Customers can save up to 10x on their traffic bills using our distributed network. It's like Uber but for CDN.
Ping me if you want to reduce your CDN traffic bills ( (at) farbacdn.com)

The more CDN providers, the more choices you have for less money. If you are using Vultr as a hosting provider, it's much easier to enable/disable CDN out of the control panel.

to answer this question, I will write another article how we distribute cache among the Peers. Long story short: - we divide web cache in buckets - these buckets have different siz…

A customer can switch on/off regions. Also, they can set up a cap for every region. You can do it with regular CDNs as well, it's just a setting.

IPFS is very slow. It's like a cold storage. Not good for web-cache at all. Though Cloudlare provides gateways for IPFS, and again, we have a CDN layer here. It would be nice to se…
