Ranked by Occidental
Best Cloud and CDN Providers
The top 10 of 28 cloud and cdn companies in our directory, scored on what we could check.
This roundup ranks every company in this category with Occidental, the same harness behind our Stack Advisor. It scores only what we could check on each company's own site. It is not a test of their work, so read it as a short list to call, not a verdict.
The ranking assumes a business with 10 people, one location and a normal budget, with no special must haves. Your own answers change the weights, so try the Stack Advisor for a ranking built around you.

How We Scored
| Score | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Fit | How closely the company's own services and description match this category. In AI search, specialists score higher. |
| Scale | How the listed team size fits a 10 person business. For service firms, a team a little bigger than yours scores best. For platforms, bigger is fine. |
| Cost to own | Prices only count when our catalog has one we checked. Most companies here have none, so everyone gets the same middle score. |
| Support | A main phone line, a contact or sales page, and a clear route to reach a person. |
| Lock-in risk | The usual lock-in for this kind of service, from our own notes on the category. |
| Vendor health | Years in business and listed team size. |
Common Questions
Is this a paid ranking?
No. Nobody paid to be listed or ranked, and the rules are the same for every company.
Why is Clickflame on this list?
Clickflame is our sister company. It is scored by the same rules as everyone else, and it is marked with a disclosure wherever it appears.
Why does a company I like rank low?
The ranking only sees what we could check, like a listed phone line or founding year. It knows nothing about the quality of the work. A lower score is not a bad review.
