High-Capacity Content Delivery

Does anyone have an idea of the costing estimates on Limelight Networks' LimelightDELIVER platform, or any similar service providing high-capacity content delivery?

A friend and I are planning to start a site which will host and serve a sizable amount of content in the form of image files and PDF's, and we are wondering what the best approach is for this project.

Rackspace's CloudFiles is exactly what you're looking for. Its cloud file hosting (ala Amazon's S3), can optionally integrated with LimeLight's CDN, and with a pay-as-you-go pricing.

To quote from CloudFile's LimeLight integration:

How simple have we made content distribution? Turn on the CDN feature in the Cloud Files interface and copy and paste the link. No minimum commitments, programming, or even configuration files are required.

Rackspace looks very promising. Thanks for the info.

Limelight won't even talk to you unless you're ready to buy a few TB per month, and go into a 1 year contract.

How much content are you looking to deliver, and where are most of your users coming from?

Limelight's out of the question then. We're looking for something like S3 which offers pay-as-you-go.
