Frequently Asked Questions

Your files remain stored on Amazon S3. The CDN (Stackpath) adds those files to its network and when a customer requests a file download, its delivered by Stackpath instead of S3.
When using S3, file are delivered from a single location (for example, the Virginia data center). Therefore a customer on the other side of the world will have a slower download speed compared to a customer who is located closer to that data center. When using BucketBlaze, files come from the Stackpath CDN which has 45 “edge locations” around the world. The customer will get their files from their nearest location meaning they’ll have faster download speeds.

Amazon continue to charge you $0.02 per GB stored per month but your bandwidth will now be charged by us instead.
No, none. You will continue to be charged $0.02 per GB for files hosted on S3, but nothing more.
Yes and potentially even more than that. If you use Amazon Cloudfront for example, you’d save up to $0.12 per GB! So 10TB would cost you $1200 less than on Amazon!
