Cloud Hosting is a very efficient way to host some large files on a dedicated webspace while keeping the expenses at minimum, and there are many Cloud Hosting providers out there. On of the famous and most used Clouds is RackSpace Cloud. As cloud is not like CDN, means the server and what is hosted on it is at one place, those who download off of a cloud space will not benefit from the advantage of Geo-based download CDN offers – this is why the need to use CDN with Cloud hosting arose.

It is very easy to implement RackSpace Cloud with MaxCDN, it is actually a 3 step process.

1. Upload your files to the cloud.
2. Create a Pull Zone with the Origin URL of your Cloud Bucket
3. Start browsing your Cloud-Hosted files via the CDN URL.

A thorough tutorial of how to implement RackSpace Cloud with MaxCDN can be found on our Wiki. Check out the article ( http://wiki.netdna.com/Implementation/Rackspace_Cloud ) and give us some feed back.

We will be adding more tutorials soon, so stay tuned!
