CDN

Your website worldwide up to 70% faster.

If you have visitors from all over the world, you want to deliver your content quickly to guarantee a good user experience. A content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) can help you deliver the content with high availability and high performance to end users.

CDNs nowadays deliver a large part of the content on the internet, including web objects (such as text, images and website scripts), downloadable objects (media files, software, documents), applications (e-commerce, portals), live streaming media, -demand streaming media and social networks. With Hoasted's CDN service, your content is available up to 70% faster, anywhere in the world.

Our CDN network uses 33 strategically placed data centers around the world to deliver the content of your website to your customers. All servers are equipped with the latest SSD technology, fully equipped with HTTP / 2 protocol and SSL certificates. These are also continuously monitored by our expert technicians.

Why a CDN?

If you want your website to be fast in other countries in Europe and the rest of the world, then CDN is recommended. Especially if your website is focused on international visitors and therefore has to be quickly visible for that target group.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do you want CDN?

A CDN is recommended in the following cases:

  • The visitors for your website or webshop do not only come from the Netherlands or Belgium, but also beyond. Websites with more international traffic benefit greatly from a CDN
  • If you want to reduce the load on your hosting environment
  • You want your static files (Internet content such as HTML pages, javascript files, style sheets, images and videos) to be visible everywhere as quickly as possible.
  • You want extra protection against DDoS attacks.

What happens if my site uses CDN?

The content of your website is then placed on more than 32 servers. If someone then visits your site, the website comes directly from a server in that country (or from a nearby country) to the visitor's browser. So someone from Australia receives it from an Australian server, rather than having to be picked up and served over the internet from the Hoasted infrastructure in Europe.

Can I purge cache cache?

By emptying the CDN cache you delete all stored files at all CDN locations. This is completely possible and can be performed free of charge at any time.

Is CDN safer?

Yes. Attacks can no longer be placed directly on the website. Also a so-called DDoS attack on your website at Hoasted has been made impossible by CDN.

Can I still see how often my site is visited?

This is certainly possible. With CDN, resources are loaded from different servers, but this has no impact on statistics and visitor measurements (eg Google Analytics) within your website.

Do I still have to do something when CDN becomes active?

That must indeed be. You will receive a detailed instruction from us, for example for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, Opencart or Prestashop.

Can I set up hotlink protection?

It is possible to use domains that can be set as whitelist or blacklist. This prevents unwanted hot linking.

Can I use my own SSL

By default, we create a CDN SSL for you based on Let's Encrypt. However, if you want to use your own SSL, this is possible. We help out you free of charge with the installation of this.
