Content Delivery Network or CDN, as the name aptly suggests is a network of servers across multiple geographic locations. The purpose of such a network is swift delivery of data to the end users from servers closest to their location.
The working of Content Delivery Network is based on the fact that when the end user tries to access the data from a server quite distant from its location, it can sometimes experience lag or time delay in transmission. This is because everytime a request is sent to a server, it has to do multiple hops before it reaches the destination. For instance, if a user in Texas tries to access a server in Washington DC, the data has to be transmitted along a long distance.
Under CDN, the main server is connected to a network of servers spread across multiple geographic regions. The data is replicated to all the servers so that when the user tries to access the data it is directed to the nearest server. The data that is stored on the main server is constantly replicated to all the CDN servers which ensures a faster response and also data replication in case the data is lost on the main server. Content Delivery Networks are useful when swift streaming of data is required.

DDoS Protection
We deploy an advanced DDoS protection service to all our CDN servers. Your data is protected against all layers of attack, even the hard-to-detect application layer attacks. Your data is filtered through multiple levels of filtering before reaching your server.
Uptime
We guarantee a cent percent uptime for your website by storing your valuable data. In case of websites, the web pages will be cached in so that the end user can access your web page even when the website is experiencing an outage.
APLLR (Asia Pacific Low Latency Routes)
We offer low latency routes to our users in Asia Pacific region when hosting servers in the Los Angeles and/or Dallas data center. Hence, if you have a major user base in the Aisa Pacific region, our data centers would provide a swift and effective response rate.
Auto SSL
We provide an auto SSL option which handles your SSL configuration automatically. You are free to upload your cert bundle or can utilize our Auto SSL option.
Auto Website Acceleration
Through the Auto Website Acceleration feature, we are able to divert the request coming for your website to the closest POP. This is done with the help of a route load balancer. The request is attended by the POP with the least response time.
