What CDN would you recommend?

Hi all, a

I run a site that after a complete redesign have gotten a lot more traffic. The site provides free flash games, so the biggest traffic share goes to serving flash files (from about 100K and up to several megabytes in size each.)

I currently host the entire site on a hosting provider that have no traffic limits. But since they are very cheap (yet have served me very well all the time with at least 99,9% uptime), I don't trust them in allowing me to continue consuming more and more bandwidth. I just guess I'm going to reach some internal limit they have on day, so I'm looking into moving all the flash content over to a content delivery network of some sort.

Some recent traffic stats:
August: 12 GB
September: 22 GB
October: 55 GB
November: Currently 2,3 GB pr day on average, but it's rising..

I've been looking into Amazon S3, but have not decided on anything yet. So therefor I'm asking if there are any other provides I should consider, that operates within the same price range as Amazon does (or lower)?


Best regards,
Christian Felde
