Regarding Cdn Services as compared to OVH unlimited bandwidth

Hi everyone,

i am running an adult site with more than 100,000 visitors everyday, over 1 million page views. currently using 3 pop ups on the site. using 3x small servers to host the videos and stream. 1x storage backup for the video files. total cost is about $300 (small servers and backup server) + $300 (main server for serving the website). Loading speed is considered better than openload speed, just that when it skip video to next part it will either hang or take some time to load it. out of 10 plays, 3 plays will hang upon skip(this is the only drawback for ovh unlimited bandwidth). But if doesn't skip the video to next timing, it load well throughout the whole video without skipping.

so my question is here now, first question should i use a cdn now ? or stick to ovh unlimited bandwidth ? currently it seems that, everyday it uses like 15tb of bandwidth. so about a month 450tb. the money from the pop ups is enough to cover the server cost and some money for us (just 30% only). 70% we pay for the server stuffs.

Or we will continue stick to ovh unlimited bandwidth ?

Second question, Currently i noticed our organic search is more than direct. first day it was fine, second day it became more, but somehow if the organic search is so many from the previous day, shouldn't be the direct numbers increase the next day ? is it because we set to 3 pop ? If we set to 1 pop only, we can't have enough for the servers.

I am also having a server at OVH, it is pretty good, in your case, I would you try a CDN first to check if it can handle your traffic or not. If not, it is time you should go with ovh unlimited bandwidth and see how it works.
