Maoyun Technology Co., Ltd., hereinafter referred to as Maoyun, was recently established and may not be well-known among friends. Currently, it mainly provides CDN and cloud storage services.

About Maoyun CDN

Maoyun CDN integrates Alibaba Cloud CDN, Tencent Cloud CDN, Wangsu CDN, and Baishan Cloud CDN, instead of self-built CDN services. This should ensure stability and offer cheaper prices compared to purchasing directly from these major platforms.

Previously, Maoyun supported overseas CDNs, but according to the announcement, overseas CDNs will be removed, leaving only domestic CDNs, which require domain registration before use.

Joining the Maoyun Alliance

By joining the Maoyun Alliance, you can get a monthly CDN traffic of 30GB and a cloud storage quota of 20GB. The steps to join are as follows:

  1. Register for Maoyun CDN: https://console.maoyuncloud.com/register
  2. Obtain logo.zip and link the logo to the Maoyun official website.
  3. Read the rules.
  4. Contact customer service on the right to apply for joining the Maoyun Alliance.

Participating in Group Buying

If you don't want to join the Maoyun Alliance, you can directly purchase CDN traffic packages. Currently, you can participate in the Double 11 group buying event. The price is 9.9 yuan/100GB, with a validity period of 3 months. Below are the group buying links provided by Xiaoz:

About CDN Selection

Xiaoz has some personal criteria for choosing a CDN.

  • Any CDN that does not support HTTPS is not considered.
  • Any CDN that does not support HTTP 2.0 is not considered.
  • Any CDN with overly complicated billing is not considered.

Below are the CDNs that Xiaoz has used and support HTTP 2.0 for your reference:

  • Upyun CDN: Fast, versatile, and supports many new features, but relatively expensive.
  • Tencent Cloud CDN: Reasonable price with fewer tricks.
  • Nodecache CDN: No need for domain registration, has Hong Kong CDN, and offers 1TB traffic upon registration, but relatively expensive.
  • Cloudflare: Free, supports many new features, but slower speed.
  • Alibaba Cloud CDN: Many tricks, and even after purchasing traffic packages, extra fees are required for HTTPS requests.
  • Maoyun CDN: Affordable price, supports HTTP 2.0, but slower to take effect and the backend is not fully developed.

Xiaoz won't comment on other CDNs that haven't been used.

Personal Experience

The configuration of Maoyun CDN in the backend takes relatively longer to take effect, possibly due to the integration of multiple CDNs. Additionally, many features have not been developed in the backend, such as HTTP 2.0. Although Maoyun actually supports HTTP 2.0, there is no option in the backend, so you need to contact customer service to enable it manually. Currently, the images on Xiaoz's blog are already using Maoyun CDN, and we will see how it performs after using it for a while.
