Overview
CDNetworks provides content acceleration, dynamic web acceleration, media delivery and security services. CDN Pro offers programmable caching and request/response controls; Edge Application is a separate function and KV platform.
Founded in Korea in 2000, CDNetworks is headquartered in Singapore. Wangsu acquired 98% from KDDI in March 2017; its CDN service continued following the transaction.
Network
CDNetworks advertises more than 3,000 CDN PoPs in over 90 countries/regions and more than 200 Tbps of CDN capacity. Its published network list contains major location examples, with mainland-China coverage subject to the selected service and hostname registration.
CDN cache sites and scrubbing centers are distinct. City markers show approximate centers of named examples, not individual facilities, capacity, traffic-routing guarantees or a complete inventory.
Major examples from the published network list, not a complete inventory or plan availability guarantee. Mainland-China serving has separate registration requirements. Administrative regions and ambiguous names are listed without pins.

✓ Supported · Partial: limited or separate-product support · ✗ Not supported · Not listed: unconfirmed. Some features need a separate product or plan.
- CDN Pro transport: HTTP/3 and TLS 1.3 are supported. HTTP/3 is disabled by default; WebSockets need an explicit HTTP/1.1 proxy directive.
- Caching and access: Edge Logic controls cache keys, hierarchical origin paths, secure links and serving stale objects while refreshing or on selected origin errors.
- Programmability: CDN Pro uses enhanced NGINX configuration. Edge Application separately runs JavaScript/WebAssembly functions and provides Edge KV.
- Security: the portfolio offers WAF, bot controls, DDoS mitigation and request-rate controls. Select the appropriate security service and agreement.
- Logs: create a hostname log configuration for downloadable files. A separate agreement enables sampled real-time HTTP(S) log streaming.
- Media: Cloud Live, Cloud VoD and media-acceleration products serve streaming workflows; confirm ingest, processing and protection for the chosen product.
A CDN Pro hostname served inside mainland China must have Beian on file and the relevant function activated by support.
CDN Pro’s published plan matrix puts WebSockets, origin shielding and real-time logs in Enterprise by default; Professional can request additional features for a fee. API access begins with Professional. Check the agreed plan before enabling these workflows.
Pricing
- CDN Pro traffic is billed by the serving server group: Standard $0.04/GB, Premium $0.08/GB, Deluxe $0.158/GB and Ultra $0.237/GB outside China. CPU time adds $1.95 per CPU hour.
- Upgraded self-signup accounts have a $50 monthly commitment. Enterprise rates and limits are negotiated. Promotional credits are temporary.
- Enterprise China groups list $0.043/GB for China Standard, $0.079/GB for China Premium and $0.938/GB for Near China. Mainland-China activation requires the appropriate domain registration and support arrangement.
- Allowing an expensive group does not make every request bill at that group’s rate: routing selects the serving group. Estimate the actual group mix and CPU usage.
- This calculator does not yet model CPU time or server groups. Enter a workload-specific quote that includes both; other security, media and edge products have separate commercial terms.
Developer tools
- Use the CDN Pro API for configurations, certificates, traffic controls and reporting. Stage and test a property before deployment.
- Write CDN Pro Edge Logic in the supported NGINX directives, or choose Edge Application for JavaScript/WebAssembly functions.
- CDNetworks documents its Terraform provider; check resource coverage for the product you use.
- Configure stored access-log exports or arrange sampled real-time logs to an HTTP(S) endpoint.
- Use Cloud VoD upload SDKs for that media workflow and the CDN Pro API for CDN configuration.
When it fits
- Teams needing configurable CDN cache/request behavior and staged deployment.
- Projects combining Asian/global delivery with an explicit mainland-China registration and serving plan.
- Buyers selecting security, media or edge functions as separate requirements in a negotiated package.
Before you choose
- Include CPU usage as well as traffic in a CDN Pro estimate.
- Check the registration requirements for your hostnames and which controls you need to enable.
- Ask which shielding, WebSocket and real-time log options your plan includes. Security, media and function products can add separate charges.
