Overview
CDN77 is a content delivery network run from Europe (the site is operated by DataCamp Limited) that has specialised in video: about 90% of the data it delivers is live or on-demand video. Its network has 310 Tbps of capacity, 200 PoPs across 130 countries and more than 3,000 directly connected ISPs, with cache servers embedded in ISP networks.
Pricing starts at the Growth plan: $990 a month for 250 TB of traffic on all PoPs, with every feature and 24/7 support, and $3.96 per TB beyond that. Enterprise plans are priced per use case and add VOD and live-streaming features, custom API work and a dedicated account specialist. S3-compatible Object Storage costs $100 a month for 5 TB and has no egress fees to the CDN.
Support is a selling point: live chat with a first response under 60 seconds, Slack Connect channels and direct access to L2/L3 engineers. CDN77 does not offer DNS hosting, and no WAF product was listed on the pages read.
