Cloudflare's a popular one

^^ Thanks. Have you used them?

Anyone tried MaxCDN? Their rates seem reasonable.

i use maxcdn and its pretty good in that it has pull zones... Where as alot of other cdn's make you upload your content to the cdn... Its easy as fuck to use..

But, you can search the forum its been discussed alot.

Cool, I'll probably give them a go.

Yeah, I did try searching - 'CDN' and 'best CDN' but I just get:

"The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search"

MaxCDN is decent and the prices are way cheaper than competition.

Unless you have any specific needs they are pretty good.

Yeah, they look decent. I've just sent them an enquiry regarding my specific needs.

Just found this discount if anyone is interested - http://www.maxcdn.com/maxcdncoupon/

I use their cloud files, but have yet to try their CDN. It's pay as you go, so it might be worth a look:

I've been using MaxCDN for video delivery, it's one of the cheapest for what you get. It's not the best if you're targeting people outside of US/CA though

Ah, really? hmmm then that wouldn't be very useful to me. I'm looking to target Asia and Europe. I haven't heard back from MaxCDN re my query, so back to the question - Any recommendations for a CDN (that is good for Asia/Europe)?

What are your requirements? How many containers/files, how much bandwidth? What service level?

I use Rackspace for CDN. Rackspace's service is top-notch if you have the highest-level support, I literally call and talk to a dedicated engineer who does whatever I want. However, I am spending 5 figures/year with that hosting account. At the lower levels it's all do-it-yourself and you will struggle if you have a large amount of files.

Consider Rackspace and Amazon if you want to go with the big players and are willing to do some learning.

Cloudflare's DDoS protection can lose you traffic very quickly.

MaxCDN are great, and well priced.

CDN77 are awesome, a lot of locations and great pricing. Interface is definitely not as good as MaxCDN imo.

I went with Beyond Hosting in the end.

Interesting test by Caurmen:

I'm not sure it's helping much with load times but this may be because I'm not running high volume.

I looked at Beyond Hosting and they probably have a very quality CDN service but what I don't like that their CDN doesn't have pay as you go like a lot of other CDN's...
