Overview
HolaCDN was a content delivery network focused on video streaming, leveraging peer-to-peer technology to deliver content globally. Launched by Hola, a company known for its VPN services, it aimed to provide cost-effective streaming solutions for businesses. The service is now defunct, with no active operations or support available as of 2025.
Warpcache was a Netherlands-based MultiCDN provider founded in 2015 by Wouter Spee and Thijs de Zoete. It specialized in combining multiple CDN platforms into a single service, using Cedexis data for real-time routing and optimization. Warpcache offered granular steering down to the ASN (Autonomous System Number) level, giving customers more precise control than country-level MultiCDN services of the time.
The company was acquired by System73 in 2019. Following the acquisition, Warpcache’s independent MultiCDN platform was discontinued, and its domain later redirected to SimpleCDN. Today, SimpleCDN operates as a single CDN service rather than a MultiCDN integrator.

History & Notes
HolaCDN was part of Hola’s broader ecosystem, which faced scrutiny over its peer-to-peer VPN model before pivoting to CDN services. No official EOL notice is available, but community reports on platforms like Reddit suggest service degradation started around 2020. The parent company, Hola, continues to operate its VPN services, but no revival of HolaCDN is indicated.
Warpcache was notable for being one of the first turnkey MultiCDN platforms alongside TurboBytes. Its focus on ASN-level performance routing set it apart from competitors who worked at broader country-level granularity. Although the brand and platform no longer exist, Warpcache helped shape the early MultiCDN ecosystem.
