MaxCDN Now Accepting Payment via Bitcoin to Meet Developer Needs
NetDNA LLC, a content delivery network (CDN) provider, today announced that MaxCDN is the first CDN to accept payment via Bitcoin.
Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency, enables instant peer-to-peer transactions, worldwide payments with low or zero processing fees. The community-driven software operates with no central authority - managing transactions and the issuing of bitcoins is carried out collectively by the network. The new currency has been gaining in popularity over the past four years, a choice method of payment by individuals, businesses and developers alike.
“Developers are a core part of our customer base and have been requesting this payment model,” said Justin Dorfman of NetDNA. “We’re strong believers in open source and part of that commitment is being responsive to developer requests. Bitcoin as the emerging 'coin of the realm' for this community and we’re excited at the opportunity to be accepting Bitcoins.”
