Ranked by Occidental

Best Cloud and CDN Providers

All 28 cloud and cdn companies in our directory, ranked 1 to 28 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 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.

The Full Ranking, 1 to 28

Ranked by Occidental, run on Vyebe. How the ranking works.

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.

How We Scored

ScoreWhat it measures
FitHow closely the company's own services and description match this category. In AI search, specialists score higher.
ScaleHow 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. A company that is also listed as an agency or IT firm is judged like a service firm.
Cost to ownPrices only count when our catalog has one we checked. Most companies here have none, so everyone gets the same middle score.
SupportA main phone line, a contact or sales page, and a clear route to reach a person.
Lock-in riskThe usual lock-in for this kind of service, from our own notes on the category.
Vendor healthYears 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.
