How is this better that Bunny CDN? https://bunny.net/cdn/ Bunny is fantastic and all of their products are amazing to use. I don't see how yours is any better?

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.

Pretty good pricing at the cost of fewer POPs.

A little unrelated but I'm curious if anyone here know of a cheap CDN for large files (500 GB+) where the initial connection speed doesn't matter but the throughput does.

I’ve seen some sites use “bunnycdn.ru” is it the same? Does it have any affiliation with Russia?

bunny.net is a Slovenian global company with no affiliation with Russia.

If it works like this there would only be a few CDNs. A lot of cloud providers have their own CDN variant and here Vultr is filling that gap in their product line.

Even if it's not better it'd make it easier for existing customers to not have to add yet another vendor.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How did you check they are using CloudFlare?

If you check their document request in the browsers network tab, you can see two response headers, cf-cache-status, cf-ray which are appended by Cloudflare.

Thanks

While exciting to see, I’ve tried them a couple of times for different projects and unfortunately never had a good experience with them. It’s disappointing because their product line up continues to grow, but they still seem to struggle a bit on the trust front.
