Video CDN is our in-house, multipurpose, cloud-based solution, suited for Video-on-Demand, and software distribution, aiming to maximize the hit rate, offering you
Select from a variety of our pre-made tariffs or opt for a pay-as-you-go option, with rates starting as low as $2 per TB depending on your traffic.
We hand-crafted our Video CDN solution for optimal delivery of both Video on Demand (VoD) and software downloads.
Our CDN stores multiple copies of your content within our network, directly streaming videos or distributing software from the geographically closest and most optimal servers.
This approach ensures high efficiency without quality loss, protects your servers, and prevents unauthorized access and bandwidth leeching.
It is accessible via the Websa user panel or through an API.
Key Features:
Functioning as a cloud, our technology is not your typical CDN. Instead of simply caching content from your servers, we host multiple video copies within the CDN itself.
On the go, we adjust to viewers’ fluctuating geography and demand to:
• distribute videos directly to your viewers worldwide
• from geographically closest locations
• and load-wise optimal servers
This is how we offload your origins, limiting the hotlinking, leeching, grabbing, or other unwanted activities while ensuring utmost content delivery speed without quality loss.
CDN operates through a cluster of globally distributed servers that manage and deliver your content
according to customized settings. The service architecture includes:
Redirector Servers
Analyzing incoming requests against over 50 parameters to select the optimal server for content delivery.
Streaming Servers
Optimized for video streaming, enhancing content delivery dynamically based on user demand.
Storage Servers
Рrimary repository, duplicating files across various locations for enhanced integrity and availability.
Video CDN ingests any video content format and automatically prepares it in optimized chunks on its own.
Therefore, if you handle your content segmentation, our standard HLS delivery might not be the best fit.
We recommend our Anycast CDN for optimized delivery of smaller, pre-chunked objects.
For more information, please refer to our separate Anycast CDN page.
In order to facilitate HTTP Live Streaming through the Video CDN,
we are presently working on the Turboimport feature.
Our team is also working on MP4 chunk caching on servers-redirectors
to enable almost immediate playback start, further reduce buffering, and
optimize bandwidth.
With the direct first chunk and the HLS manifest delivery, which skips the HTTP redirect, we ensure that video playback begins as soon as possible and without delay. This allows for higher conversion rates and a better overall user experience.
In our data centers, we operate premium-grade equipment and high-reliability servers. Video CDN network is built on Tier 1 providers, delivering the best experience to your global viewership.
We transmit video via HTTP and HTTPS in various formats (FLV, MP4, WebM, MKV, etc.). Full MPEG-DASH, HLS, HDS, and MSS support for MP4 files with real-time MP4/MKV to HLS/DASH/HDS/MSS conversion. Gain even more control over your viewers’ immersive experience with flexible video clipping, keyframe binding, multi-bitrate, multi-clip HLS, and DASH manifests.
We offer custom pricing plans and credit allowances for large-scale clients to facilitate testing and ensure compliance with SLA agreements without reliance on continuous credit card payments.
An intuitive yet powerful control panel streamlines the setup process, provides near-real-time statistics, and allows for seamless resource management on the go. You will have API access for major and complex tasks.
You can fine-tune your resources to serve your content at a certain speed or at a preset bitrate percentage. These parameters can be defined per URL for particular audience segments along with the CDN’s smart streaming throttling.
We provide and maintain up-to-date Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates by default for free. You can use and manage your own Shared SSL, Custom SSL, or Wildcard SSL certificates for your resources in the control panel.

Per-gigabyte billing is based on the factual amount of your content
distributed by the CDN in relation to the effective rates.
This constitutes the amount you will be charged per month for your traffic usage.
Example:
If a file of 1GB is downloaded/watched once, you pay for 1GB of traffic.
If the same file gets 100 views, you are charged for 100GB of traffic use.
Video CDN is a cloud-based solution that was specifically designed for Video-on-Demand platforms. It accelerates and optimizes the content delivery while maintaining top-notch quality. By offloading traffic from your servers, safeguarding your source files, and preventing unwanted activities like hot-linking and leeching, our CDN ensures that your content reaches your audience without compromises.
It works by storing three copies of your videos within our global network, streaming them directly to viewers from the most geographically optimal and load-balanced servers.

We have developed one of the industry’s best hotlink protections and extensive per-URL settings. With our service, you can configure and combine these methods to secure your content in at least nine different ways:
One of the best ways to prevent content hotlinking is to bind a URL to a certain IP and specify the list of allowed referees. Considering about 10-15% share of visits with dynamic IPs, we have a solution allowing access to these users with dynamic IPs, still avoiding hotlinking.
