Overview

HolaCDN is a historical video-delivery listing associated with Spark CDN . The video overlay combined its own server network with client-side segment selection over an existing CDN.

Current commercial availability and a service retirement date are unconfirmed. This entry describes the historical architecture rather than a current purchase offer.

Network

Spark’s overlay used proprietary servers and selected sources for individual video segments. It did not use Hola VPN peers or their upload bandwidth.

No current named cache inventory is available for plotting. Existing-CDN fallback was part of the integration, subject to player and cross-origin settings.

Past features

The historical FAQ describes live and on-demand HTTP video, encrypted HLS and HTTPS delivery, configuration APIs and player experience analytics. Plan packaging and DRM upstream, and ask the delivery provider for request logs when player metrics are not enough.

Service status

Confirm commercial availability and the status of any existing agreement before planning a replacement. For an older overlay integration, inventory the player SDK, analytics hooks, underlying CDN and fallback behavior; these differ from replacing a conventional HTTP caching CDN.

Budgeting for a replacement

The historical FAQ describes USD 0.01 per GB of Spark-server traffic, with a USD 100 minimum prepayment and unused credits carried forward. It describes separate free player analytics and multi-CDN controls.

These terms are historical. Confirm the contract’s availability and current rates before budgeting; keep the underlying CDN’s bill separate. The calculator does not offer this as a current public tariff.

Historical integrations

Player integration

The Spark FAQ describes JavaScript and native SDK integration. Its browser and player examples are historical; validate the actual SDK and supported environment for a legacy deployment.

Fallback

Progressive video without the required CORS headers could lose fallback to the underlying CDN. Test fallback, analytics and encrypted playback before changing or removing the overlay.

What to know

For an existing HolaCDN or Spark player integration, test segment selection, player analytics, CORS and CDN fallback before changing the delivery layer.

Planning a replacement

This video-player overlay is not a replacement for a full web CDN. Before reusing an old integration, confirm current service availability and player support; the historical video servers were separate from Hola’s VPN and Luminati proxy network.

History

Hola’s group page lists both HolaCDN and Hola Spark. In August 2017, EMK announced a majority investment in the separate Luminati proxy division while describing Hola’s continuing VPN and video-CDN products.

For an older HolaCDN integration, check current service availability and support directly. The Spark FAQ describes the holacdn player integration. Current service availability remains unconfirmed.
