I just signed up so I can run landers..I don't want to screw anything up with rackspace and was hoping someone could point me to a tutorial before I go and wing it, then break it?

Edit: I'm going with the AWS tutorial instead...Canceled rackspace.
If someone finds this post and wants to know more about rackspace iamattila have good tutorial in his blog - http://iamattila.com/media-buying-10...ding-pages.php
I'm currently hosted with Beyond Hosting, does anyone has any guide on how I can move my stuff over to CDN?
Just a pointer on Rackspace, I think it'll be Cloud Files you want to use (free CDN), their CDN is a paid product. I use cloud files and works as needed.

Ya, I got super confused with rackspace... I amatillia has a decent tutorial but unfortunately it doesn't start at ground zero...I could not follow the same settings in rackspace as laid out in the tutorial so I canceled the account...
What do you need to know? I use Rackspace for Cloud Files, takes minutes to get going (I'm new to all this too)
Cloud files!
Some quick notes.
Once you make a container you get a url that looks like http://ec62bf6e9d223c3d6a28-2d45ad6e...f1.rackcdn.com
Goto View Links for the urls!
Now anything you upload to hear you can access from http://ec62bf6e9d223c3d6a28-2d45ad6e...teveriuploaded
But most people do a DNS CNAME entry in their domain
so in your dns you make a CNAMe for like dogs.example.com and put ec62bf6e9d223c3d6a28-2d45ad6e9db42be757a74c459c2f29a.r99.cf1.rackcdn.co m as the entry.
Now you can do dogs.example.com/whateveriuploaded
Just remember that CNAMES and rackspace does not work with SSL.
So always make sure your links to your content is http://dogs.example.com/whateeveriuploaded
and not :// or https://dogs.example.com/whateveriuploaded(won't work)
