SimpleCDN and Basic CNAME

I’ve been looking at SimpleCDN as a place to host video files for clients. It costs nothing to register, and you get $15 free usage to get you going.

Once you have an account, you simply create a bucket, which gives you the access information such as ftp login etc.

So then you can upload your content.

I wanted to test the basic (free) cname facility, however the documentation is sparse. But basically, it looks like this:

Create your bucket, let’s call it ‘mybucket’

Create your cname, something link: cdn.mydomain.com -> e1.simplecdn.net (or whatever yours is set to)

Then you can reach your content ‘my.file’ at:

http://cdn.mydomain.com/mybucket/my.file

easy..

Paul.
