It doesn't matter if you are a small or larger company; you need to deliver your content fast. The problem is, when you choose website hosting, you probably won't have one huge server with a ton of bandwidth. However, you can use a CDN or Content Delivery Network to make sure you content loads fast and in a reliable way.

<h2>Scaled Up Web Hosting</h2>

A CDN is much like scaled up website hosting. It will allow your site to be replicated onto multiple servers. This allows you to easily distribute your content fast and in a reliable way. Some CDNs will even have a focus on specific regions to make it even easier. They may even have thousands of servers to help you get your content to the end user as fast as possible.

<h2>What does the CDN Do the Best?</h2>

The most effective thing a CDN does it deal with large amounts of content with images and videos. They can also provide help when the internet has problems and protect you against attacks. If you run a video website, a CDN will be vital to your success.

However, as soon as you start seeing your load times slow down due to an increase in traffic, a CDN is necessary. This may provide a less expensive option compared to upgrading your hosting. 

Regardless of whether you run a small business website, a blog or any other online entity, a CDN may be very beneficial. You may be able to increase load times, which helps with both conversions and SEO. This may also take some of the stress off your hosting server.
