Thank you very much for this explanation. So for example I have a very basic website with CMS. I use a CDN just because I want to give the best possible experience to my users. I get about 50k users per month, a lot of them are new. Would adding a paid DNS or "DNS CDN" as you put it help my user experience enough to matter?

Honestly it depends on who your market is. If your users are mostly on the same continent as you it's probably not worth it, otherwise it could be.

On the other hand, if your site makes you money and you've got competition then every edge you can get is worth while.

thank you and thank you. ok that really makes sense. my site is b2b and although transactions do not occur on the website every ounce of frustration I can save matters. we also get a ton of users from US/AU/EU/AS so even with that it would make sense.
