I am curious about CDN and if I can afford it now, I’ll have it.
For the uninitiated, a content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) is a system of computers containing copies of data, placed at various points (strategically placed) in a network so as to maximize bandwidth for access to the data from clients throughout the network. A client accesses a copy of the data from the nearest point to the client.
Do you know any users of CDN in the Philippines? Share it below.

Better use cloud services, such as those from Amazon and a plethora of other providers (such as cloud hosting services from Rackspace). Instead of maximizing efficiency like a CDN (whether the likes of Limelight or Akamai), these are more on the reliability of how your site isn’t dependent on a single server that is at risk of going down at any time, and instead shared across many servers making the likelihood of your server going south very unlikely.
