Cloud and CDN Directory

Cloud servers, storage and content delivery networks that run apps and speed up websites.

Cloud companies rent servers and storage by the hour or month. A CDN copies your site to servers around the world so it loads fast everywhere. Most small sites get a CDN through their host.

What to Look For

  • Check if your host already includes a CDN.
  • Set a spending alert on any cloud account.
  • Ask who will manage it, because cloud tools take skill.

See the Best Cloud and CDN Providers, with the reason behind each score.

28 Cloud and CDN Providers, Ranked

How this list is ranked: We rank all 28 companies from 1 to 28 with Occidental, the same rules as our Stack Advisor. Each company gets a score from 0 to 10 on six things. The weights are fit 28%, scale 16%, cost to own 16%, support 16%, lock-in risk 12%, vendor health 12%.

We only score facts we checked on each company's own site, like a main phone line, team size and the year it started. The list is not based on user reviews, and no company paid for its place. Cost to own is the same for all, since we have no checked prices. So the cards show the other five scores.

Common Questions

Do I need a CDN?

Most small business sites get one through their host. You only need your own if your host does not include one.

How were these companies checked?

We checked each company on its own website in September 2026, including its main phone line and contact page. We note the month on every listing.

Are these companies ranked by quality?

Not by the quality of their work. We rank them by clear rules on what we could check, like support options, team size and years in business. The ranking is not based on user reviews, and nobody paid for a spot.
