Historical provider listing.

Website

Overview

CDNLion offered caching for websites, images, videos and other static files using the OnApp federated CDN platform. It was founded in Prague in 2013.

The brand is now part of LaunchCDN , whose customer destination offers website hosting on selected third-party CDNs. For a new website, evaluate LaunchCDN’s hosting plan and its CDN options.

Network

The historical CDN used OnApp’s federated network. LaunchCDN hosting can use third-party CDNs; check which delivery provider your hosting plan uses and test the locations that matter to your audience.

Past features

The historical CDN cached websites, images, video files and static downloads through OnApp’s federation. Recover the old account’s enabled cache and access settings before configuring a replacement. For a new hosting or media workflow, use the selected service’s current specifications.

Migration guidance

LaunchCDN directs former CDNLion users to WordPress and static-HTML hosting. Check the current plan, CDN integration, content-import process and account support, then test the site before changing domains or credentials.

Sunset timeline

  • 2013 — CDNLion founded in Prague — Identified in its own February 2014 announcement.
  • 2014-02-09 — OnApp-based service expansion announced — The historical announcement described regional prepaid static-content delivery.
  • Date unknown — CDNLion joins LaunchCDN — Successor customer page offers hosted-site options; formal transaction and service end dates remain unconfirmed.

Budgeting for a replacement

The historical service sold prepaid bandwidth at region-dependent rates for standard and premium locations. For a replacement, compare LaunchCDN’s current hosting price and the terms of its underlying CDN, including usage allowances and overages.

Historical integrations

The successor page offers WordPress, PHP and static-HTML hosting, SSL and email forwarding. Check the hosting plan’s CDN settings and supported interfaces when moving an old integration.

For migration, confirm domain configuration, content import, origin behavior, certificates and the selected underlying CDN. Current documentation for a standalone CDNLion API is unconfirmed.

What to know

Use the successor customer information to plan a website move. Check the selected hosting plan, underlying CDN, content import and domain setup before migrating.

Planning a replacement

For a new deployment, evaluate LaunchCDN’s current hosting plans and the underlying CDN it uses. The former CDNLion service’s rates, locations and APIs cannot price or configure that hosting plan.

History

CDNLion was founded in Prague in 2013. Its February 2014 announcement described an OnApp-based delivery service with standard and premium regional locations and prepaid bandwidth. LaunchCDN later published a page for former CDNLion customers. For an older account, contact LaunchCDN about current hosting options and support.
