Not necessarily. It boils down to which regions you want the CDN to serve and who you go with.
If you are looking for anything but Europe or North America it will be very expensive, but since you use OVH I suppose you don't.
I am not sure if the solution you propose won't turn into a nightmare from management perspective, especially when you need to scale. Also, as you've probably already found, some videos are more popular than other and you could easily be running out of bandwidth on one server while another sits there doing almost nothing. Round robin is only so good. If you don't go the CDN route, is it possible to get two bigger servers than these 4 (In terms of storage and bandwidth)? It would probably buy you some time to think of a long-term solution and would cost roughly the same what you are paying now.
