The visitors to your website are from anywhere in the world, yet your hosting isn't.
This means the further away they are the slower your page loads.
CDN or Content Delivery Network speeds up your website by
serving it from the closest location to your customers.

What is a CDN?
(Content Delivery Network)
A CDN is a network of servers around the world which have a copy of your website and its small files, so when a visitor loads your website, the CDN delivers your website’s files from the closest server to them. The further the physical distance between the server and the user the slower the website becomes. So by serving from a closer location, the speed of the website increases.
Here's how it works.
Your users could be anywhere in the world yet your hosting is only hosted in one place, let’s say New York. Now if a visitor from England comes to your website they must load your website from New York. The distance the information must travel is very far and will make the website slow for this user. If you had a CDN, it would load your website from a local server, say one in England, so your website for this user would be very fast.
4 Ways a CDN Will Help Your Website
Happier Users
Studies have shown that your users' happiness is directly related to your page loading time. A faster site will yield happier users.
(Reference)More Scalability
When you grow, your current setup may slow down with the new demand; MaxCDN gives your website more scalability as we offload the heavy parts of your site onto our servers.

What do you get with MaxCDN?
Faster Servers means Fastest Speeds Possible!
Your site is powered by servers that only have one task, optimize and maximize your website's speed. These aren’t shared servers with other people and processes running on them. These are serious custom built enterprise servers that have been built for one thing, to make your website as fast as possible.
All our servers have the fastest SSDs and since the servers are 100% owned by us, you will experience the same features and performance in all countries.
Software Written to Increase Speed and Performance
We run custom software that enables you get tasks done instantly, from getting provisioned to adding services or purging files. Unlike other providers who are slow to get set up and then if you need something done it can take 12hours+ to be completed, it is all instant with us. And you can even do it all yourself through the control panel or our API. And if you need help we have 24/7 support available.
So you get the fastest speeds possible we optimize for each individual file size. Large files, like software updates, are served from a different architecture than commonly-used smaller files, like images and CSS. Here is an example of the speed increases, the results were independently tested by CloudHarmony.
If you are a developer, you can build MaxCDN into your product with our well documented API. Click here to learn more about what we can offer developers.
A Smarter Network is Faster
- Strategically selected data centers who can provide optimal speeds and lowest latency.

Did you know that Two CDNS are better than one?
Cedexis who ranks and compares all CDNs stated that "Even the most resilient provider can’t deliver maximum performance everywhere, all of the time. That’s why the answer is a multi-cloud strategy.." They also said more than one CDN you can drive revenue, enter new markets, avoid outages and reduce costs.
Storage and bandwidth explained
With your current hosting setup, your server comes with storage and bandwidth. Enough storage to store your website and then enough bandwidth to deliver it to your users. With us as long as the files are under 10mb, we’ll host an unlimited amount of files and all you need is the bandwidth to serve your users. We have bandwidth plans to suit small websites to large ones, click to see the pricing and plans
*This applies to pull-zones only. For push-zones there are separate rates, please click here to see push-zone rates.

Easily host one or more sites on one account
All accounts come with 1 website included per plan. However for $3 per month you can add another one. Adding it is simple; you can add it in the checkout or in your control panel.
If you go over your bandwidth, no problem
If you go over your bandwidth allowance, you can either purchase an extra bandwidth or just pay for the usage. The usage charges we offer are the best in the industry for this level of speed and performance. At pricing from 5.9¢ ($0.059) per 1GB, if you do go over, you’ll only have to pay the least amount possible.
