NetDNA vs MaxCDN

MaxCDN was the self-service brand on the NetDNA network. Same PoPs, different packaging. This recovery keeps NetDNA as the platform and MaxCDN as the 2013 consumer brand.

NetDNA advantages for this comparison

• Dedicated pull, push, VOD and live zones rather than a single proxy.
• EdgeCaching for Platforms and CDNManager if you resell CDN.
• EdgeSSL, EdgeRules, EdgeSecurity and EdgeReporting as named products.
• REST API with OAuth, PHP/Ruby/Python/Perl SDKs and CMS plugins.
• Published 2013 bandwidth table starting at $800/month.

When MaxCDN is the better default

Stay on MaxCDN if your team already operates that stack, your contract is locked, or you need a feature NetDNA did not ship in 2013 (for example Cloudflare Workers or CloudFront Functions). NetDNA is the better fit when you want a CDN, not a full edge compute platform.

Same network, different package

In 2013 MaxCDN was the self-service brand and NetDNA was the platform, API and enterprise SKU. PoPs, EdgeCaching and the REST API were shared. This recovery keeps NetDNA as the company site and MaxCDN as the consumer name in blog posts. Do not 301 later StackPath-era MaxCDN content onto these pages.
