Overview
UCloud UCDN distributes websites, software packages and on-demand media. It integrates with UFile object storage and provides controls for cache behavior and origin access.
Network
Use the relevant domestic or international service arrangement. Primary and backup origins, health checks and merged origin requests help reduce disruption and repeated fetches. Province- and ISP-level monitoring is useful for China-focused audiences.

Pricing
Static CDN and whole-site acceleration share the selected traffic/bandwidth billing mode. Traffic packages and bandwidth agreements suit different usage patterns.
Whole-site dynamic HTTP, HTTPS and QUIC requests have additional charges. WebSocket traffic or bandwidth can also have separate monthly items. Match the billing product and market to your workload before estimating.
Developer tools
UCDN’s APIs cover activation, refresh, monitoring and distribution logs. Use UFile as an origin where appropriate, and test failover with a cache miss rather than only testing an already cached file.
When it fits
- UFile-based static asset and download delivery.
- China-focused applications needing ISP-level monitoring.
Before you choose
- Whole-site and WebSocket charges are separate cost drivers.
- Confirm local versus international account terms before using a tariff.
