CDN stands for Content Delivery Network. A Content Delivery Network (CDN) refers to a group of geographically distributed servers that work together to deliver web content quickly. In essence, site information is retrieved from a server that is closer to the user’s location. This results in the site loading faster.
A CDN provides the rapid transfer of data needed to load web content, including HTML pages, JavaScript files, images, and videos. The popularity of CDN services continues to grow, and today the majority of web traffic is delivered through CDNs, including traffic from major sites like Facebook, Netflix, and Amazon. A properly configured content distribution service can also help protect websites from some common malicious attacks, such as DDOS attacks.

Content distribution service features
Placing servers closer to users reduces the number of hops, latency, and server response times. This improves their user experience. CDN content distribution services are protected by powerful anti-DDoS to restrict access to content and protect against unwanted downloads.
Also, transferring content to CDN servers reduces the load on the origin servers, which increases the speed and performance of the site, no matter where the user is in the world. CDN servers back each other up and in the event of a high traffic incident (a large influx of users in one day), they are automatically redirected to other servers in the network.
If the content of interest is available without delay and loads quickly, the user will stay on the website, online store, game, or entertainment portal for a longer time. A quality user experience turns your visitors into satisfied customers and they will return to your resource again and again.

Is a CDN the same as a web host?
A CDN does not host content and cannot replace the need for web hosting, but it does help cache content at the edge of the network, which improves website performance. Many websites struggle to meet their performance needs with hosting services that offer the best performance, which is why they choose CDNs. By using caching to reduce hosting bandwidth, help prevent service interruptions, improve security, and eliminate some of the major headaches associated with traditional web hosting, CDNs are a popular choice.
Benefits of using CDN
Using a CDN increases server power at a lower cost and creates a great experience for your users. Some of the benefits of having a CDN include:
- High site loading speed
- Increase download and upload speed
- Increase bandwidth and reduce main server traffic consumption
- Lower cost than upgrading the main server
- Easy to use
- With powerful anti-DDoS
- Increase user satisfaction with the site
Reduce Costs with a Content Distribution Network
Saving on CDN traffic allows you to significantly reduce costs. It is cheaper to transfer files to another continent, store them on a local server there, and distribute them over local links than to send the same traffic across the Atlantic for the thousandth time.
If bandwidth is limited, transferring static files to a CDN is cheaper than upgrading network equipment. Statics usually take up a significant portion of the available bandwidth, and instead of upgrading from 1 to 10 Gbps or from 10 to 40 Gbps, it is cheaper to send 80% of the traffic to a CDN without having to invest in expensive servers.
How does a CDN work?
A CDN is a network of servers that are connected together and aims to deliver content as quickly, cheaply, reliably, and securely as possible. In order to improve speed and connectivity, a CDN places servers at exchange points (IXPs) between different networks. An Internet Exchange Point (IXP) is a physical location through which Internet infrastructure companies, such as Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and CDNs, communicate with each other. These locations exist at the “edge” of different networks and allow network providers to share transport outside their networks. By being located within an IXP location, companies can shorten their path to transit from other participating networks, thereby reducing latency, improving round-trip times, and potentially reducing costs. By connecting to these high-speed, interconnected locations, a CDN provider is able to reduce costs and transport times in delivering high-speed data.
