Overview
OnApp CDN is a federated platform aimed at hosting providers. Its CDN product line dates to 2011; Virtuozzo acquired OnApp in 2021. The former OnApp company had its headquarters in London.
- Stack: run edge software in your cloud.
- CDNaaS: hosted DNS redirection selects an appropriate location.
- Federation: subscribe to other hosts’ bandwidth or offer accepted edge capacity.
The current public portal documents the platform, rather than establishing which marketplace locations or commercial options are available to a particular account.
Network
Coverage combines your own edge locations with subscribed federation capacity. Location groups, resource types and account limits determine which nodes can serve a workload.
Ask which marketplace locations are currently available and test them from your audience’s networks. Older PoP counts and example locations in tutorials are not current coverage guarantees. Validate the chosen locations, available streaming resources, throughput and audience performance in the actual account.

HTTP delivery and access
HTTP pull and push resources support cache rules and path or whole-resource purges. Purge APIs apply to HTTP resources; immediate completion remains unconfirmed. Signed access and video token authentication are documented.
WAF controls expose OWASP rule groups, with a maximum of ten enabled rules per resource. Rule-update management is unconfirmed. Limited application-layer DoS rules do not confirm full volumetric scrubbing or security coverage on every plan.
Two media paths
HTTP Pull can restream prepared HLS content. It does not perform transcoding or transmuxing; prepare the stream upstream and configure playlist/segment cache rules.
Separate Wowza-based streaming resources support RTMP sources and HLS restreaming with codec and origin restrictions. They require eligible streaming locations or your own instances. The guide limits white-label HTTPS and requires publishing to both configured primary and backup points for failover. Check the chosen media path’s formats, origins and failover setup before deploying it.
Request logs
Raw logs can be delivered by Syslog or FTP/SFTP. The guide describes immediate Syslog delivery and ten-minute FTP/SFTP batches, using different record formats. This does not guarantee lossless delivery or identical timing on every subscribed location.
Pricing
Marketplace sellers set bandwidth prices and may agree private rates for a particular buyer. Platform licensing, local infrastructure and subscribed locations add separate costs; a single public delivery rate for all sellers is unconfirmed.
The streaming-resource guide lists USD 50 per month per own Wowza instance. Confirm that current charge and any streaming-location subscription before budgeting. It is not a CDN-wide fixed fee.
Use Advanced → Add your quote for confirmed delivery and request rates. Add licensing, hosting, streaming instances and other fixed costs as monthly extras. Confirm minimums, currency and tax independently.
Developer tools
- Manage resources, caching, purges, reports and raw-log settings through the documented APIs and control panel.
- Generate application-side access tokens with the documented integrations.
- Configure a Syslog or SFTP destination according to log format and timing requirements.
- Evaluate the linked billing integration for your platform version.
Confirm deployment version, permissions and endpoints; documentation examples are not a production credential configuration. Terraform and current SDK runtime coverage are unconfirmed.
When it fits
- Hosting providers combining owned CDN nodes with contracted federation capacity.
- Operators comfortable managing edge software, customer billing and subscribed locations.
- Prepared HTTP/HLS delivery or separately verified Wowza streaming workflows.
- Teams needing configurable raw-log delivery and application access controls.
Before you choose
- Prices and coverage depend on the marketplace sellers and locations you subscribe to.
- HTTP HLS restreaming needs already encoded content; it does not transcode.
- Limited WAF DoS rules do not confirm volumetric attack protection.
- Publish to both primary and backup streaming points when configuring failover.
