What is a cheap CDN that supports RTMP streaming?

Question

I hope someone can help. I have been looking into trying to stream movies into my client's site. They are videos about 1 hour long and for web in .flv or .m4v are about 320 megs. We need to get these videos off our server while providing our visitors a way to scrub through the video.

I know Limelight does it, but their min plan is $1,000 a month. This is overkill for our needs. Someone told me to go with CacheFly, but they don't support true streaming. SimpleCDN seems to be sold out at the moment. Please help!

Answer 1

Softlayer support it via their Internap powered CDN gateway - http://www.softlayer.com/services/content-delivery-network/ (most other Internap providers will therefore support RTMP). Softlayer's prices start at $0.20/Gb with no minimum buy (if you don't have a server with them, you may not be able to use their "Pay As You Go" service).

Answer 2

Amazon Cloudfront now supports RTMP (Flash media server) streaming. Storage in particular is very cheap and its very easy to set up.

I just had a quick look at Softlayer, looks like their network is only in the US. Not a good choice if you have an audience in any other part of the world.
