CDN cost calculator: estimate monthly traffic, bandwidth and DDoS cost
Estimate CDN monthly cost from traffic, peak bandwidth and DDoS protection using maintained public provider prices, with missing dimensions marked clearly.
What is CDN cost estimation?
A CDN cost estimate converts a workload into a comparable monthly total. Traffic price alone is not enough: peak bandwidth, DDoS protection, free allowances and minimum charges can change the result, and missing dimensions must not be inferred.
How does the CDN cost calculator work?
Traffic, bandwidth and DDoS protection are calculated as one scenario from the published PostgreSQL provider price records.
- 01
Read public prices
Use the maintained first-tier list price, allowance, minimum and billing mode. A dimension without a public price remains empty.
- 02
Calculate three dimensions
Calculate traffic, peak bandwidth and DDoS protection separately, applying each dimension’s allowance or minimum charge first.
- 03
Return comparable rows
Only complete rows receive a total and enter the complete ranking. Providers with missing or quote-only prices remain visible and are marked incomplete.
CDN cost estimation FAQs
Is this the provider’s final quote?
No. It is a reproducible estimate from public list prices. Negotiated discounts, request fees, origin transfer, WAF add-ons and commercial quotes are outside the model.
Why does a provider show an incomplete price?
The database has no public price for one dimension, or that dimension requires a quote. The provider remains in the table, but no total is invented.
How do minimum monthly charges affect the estimate?
Each dimension compares its usage charge with that dimension’s minimum and uses the higher amount before the three charges are added.
Can I estimate traffic only?
The calculator uses a combined scenario. Existing dimension prices remain visible when data is incomplete, but it will not output a fabricated total.
