Bunny CDN
High-performance CDN with a global edge network, offering fast content delivery with transparent pay-as-you-go pricing and a genuine free tier.
Use Cases
Free Tier
25GB bandwidth + 25GB storage per month, free forever, no credit card required.
How to Maximize the Free Tier
Sign up and create a pull zone (CDN) or storage zone. The free tier gives you 25GB of bandwidth and 25GB of storage monthly — after that, you pay around $0.01/GB. To maximize, use Bunny CDN for static assets (images, CSS, JS) and enable Brotli compression to reduce transfer. Use the built-in image optimization (Bunny Optimizer) to shrink file sizes. Enable the free DDoS protection and set up a simple firewall rule to block unwanted traffic. Avoid serving video or large downloads on the free tier — offload those to a cheaper storage service. Monitor usage in the dashboard to stay under limits.
Getting Started
1. Go to bunny.net and click Sign Up — register with email or Google. 2. Verify your email and log in. 3. In the dashboard, click Add Pull Zone (for CDN) or Storage Zone (for file hosting). 4. Choose a region (e.g., US East) and create the zone. 5. For a pull zone, enter your origin server URL and save. 6. Copy the generated pull zone URL (e.g., myzone.b-cdn.net) and use it to replace asset URLs in your code. 7. Optionally enable Brotli and TLS in the zone settings. 8. Test by loading a file via the CDN URL.
Pros
- Performance: Uses anycast routing and SSDs at edge locations, delivering low latency and high throughput globally
- Simple Pricing: Transparent per-GB pricing with no hidden fees; the free tier is generous for testing and small sites
- Free Tier: 25GB bandwidth + 25GB storage monthly with no credit card required — genuinely free forever
Cons
- Free Tier Limits: 25GB bandwidth runs out quickly with heavy media or dynamic content — not enough for production sites with real traffic
- Feature Depth: Lacks advanced edge compute or custom rules compared to Cloudflare's free tier, which offers more WAF features
