Im seriously considering going with SimpleCDN. For about $40/month =
1TB/month, which isn't too bad and there's no extra server to maintain!
I'm not sure what the traffic profile will look like, I expect it to be
steady with some spikes if we get some publicity...
I have the same fear as David, cuz I've had godaddy "transition" my site to
a bigger server without notifying me and resulting in a 7 day downtime
because I was using too much resources...
Edward, what are you saying? You would go with godaddy?
