CDN for video streaming
Video CDN is a cloud-based delivery network purpose-built for scalable and efficient distribution of big-sized and video files. It offers global infrastructure and flexible control over how files are transferred, stored, and delivered to end-users.
Included in service architecture
Video CDN is a cloud-based solution that was designed for large files delivery. By offloading traffic from your servers, safeguarding your source files, and preventing unwanted activities like hotlinking 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 the answers
What is Video CDN, and how is it different from a standard CDN?
A Video CDN is a delivery network designed specifically for video streaming and large media files. Our Video CDN uses a redirect-based architecture that dynamically selects the optimal streaming server per request, ensuring stable delivery for video workloads where traditional cache-based CDNs fall short.
Is this a CDN for video streaming or for file hosting?
Both. Our solution works as a CDN for video streaming and as a video CDN hosting for large media files. It supports VOD, OTT platforms, downloadable video content, and protected media libraries, all delivered efficiently through a global network.
How does pricing work for your CDN streaming services?
Our CDN pricing is flat and global. Traffic is billed at a single rate worldwide, regardless of viewer location. This removes region-based pricing spikes and makes cost forecasting simple, even for international audiences.
Can your Video CDN handle live streams?
Yes. The platform supports live stream CDN use cases as well as on-demand video. Redirect-based routing and load-aware streaming servers help manage traffic spikes during live events while maintaining consistent playback quality.
How is your streaming video CDN optimized for performance?
Our streaming video CDN delivers content from servers selected based on more than 50 parameters, including geography, load, and network conditions. Combined with multi-bitrate HLS/DASH and smart throttling, this ensures smooth playback and fast video hosting even under heavy load.
Does the Video CDN support secure video hosting?
Yes. Our CDN for video hosting includes advanced content protection features such as URL signing and expiration, IP and referrer restrictions, cookie-based authorization, encrypted delivery, and download limits ideal for licensed or monetized content.
Can this CDN be used with an external video player?
Absolutely. The Video CDN works with video player hosting setups of any kind. You can integrate it with your existing players, OTT platforms, LMS systems, or custom applications via direct URLs, manifests, or API-driven workflows.
How does your service compare to other video CDN providers?
Most video CDN providers rely on edge caching and DNS proximity. Advanced Hosting uses a decision-driven redirector layer that selects the best streaming server per request, making delivery more reliable for large files, long videos, and protected content.
Who typically uses your CDN for videos?
Our CDN for videos is used by:
- OTT and VOD platforms
- Game studios distributing large files
- Online education platforms
- Media portals and internal video hubs
It’s ideal when fast video hosting, access control, and predictable costs matter more than generic web acceleration.
