The content delivery network is often known as a Content distribution network and is defined as a ‘geographically distributed network of proxy servers and their data centers.’

Such a system aims to provide distribution services that are spatially relative to all the end-users to give them the benefit of high availability and high performance.

How it Works:

Such CDN companies are often associated with reselling CDN services.

As CDNs play the role of a layer in the entire internet ecosystem, the content owners like media companies and e-commerce vendors prefer to pay these CDN operators or resellers to deliver their content to their end customers.

These CDN service providers or distributors like edge cast CDN resellers pay off the carriers, ISPs, and network operators to avail hosting on their servers and data centers.

The Technology:

The CDN nodes deployed through multiple locations over multiple backbones.

The CDNs reduce the overall bandwidth costs, improve the page load time, and increase the global availability of any content that gets generated.

Caching:

To accelerate and optimize a customer’s website, it becomes necessary to have all the static content cached either on the CDNs or his servers.

This is done by using HTTP Caching to allow the requested content to be transmitted to a user more efficiently.

Security:

For each CDN provider, their customers are of prime importance. They need to be assured that their applications and content would be adequately protected from cybercrime, be it hotlinking, content theft, or piracy.

In addition, it should be able to protect its customers from every other kind of unauthorized use.

The providers also guarantee their customers that they would have total control over their content and that they can secure themselves with all the security tools they provide.

Streaming:

A CDN service is there to help deliver all the videos to the customers in the best possible method.

They provide every kind of video streaming service like Smooth Streaming, HDS, HLS, HTML5, Flash, HTTP progressive with ease.

In most cases, they would be using HTTP Large Platform, Flash Media Streaming Platform, live event on-demand, and all other kinds of video content streamed to any end-user.

It seeks permission from the end user’s internet connection and the closest pop from that region to ensure the highest quality.

Storage:

Storage is another benefit of CDN that each customer receives.

The storage place is fully secured, where it connects all the static and dynamic content to this lightning-fast global delivery platform.

CDN is also used to allow an end-user to receive all the customers' content directly from the server that would deliver them in the quickest feasible way.

E-Commerce:

For those who own an e-commerce site, CDNs help them achieve higher search engine rankings that reach out to more clients bringing in better business opportunities.

Other benefits of CDN service:

Apart from the above-said benefits, there are many more for a CDN subscriber to gain.

Their entire Site receives a boost with all the static and dynamic content load at high speed.

For Media and Entertainment, such services provide instant-on and high-fidelity music and videos with crystal clarity and sharpness without any splatter or disruption.

 It is also a good support system for Game lovers who get any game's static and dynamic content at super-fast speed.
 
The caching platform has developed an entirely dedicated game-tuned Application Delivery Network to serve the progressive elements of the games.

Summing Up

To sum up, a CDN service is one of the best solutions to those who work with a significant amount of data and to whom speed and quality matter.

If you own a content-rich site with a lot of static and dynamic stuff to be delivered, a CDN service could help you get what you are looking for.

Why and How to Use CloudFlare?

When I first checked Cloudflare, I thought, what the heck is this?
 
My website always loads fine.
 
I found out that CloudFlare cleaned the attempt from malicious attacks and only let clean traffic come to our site, So I started using Cloudflare to get rid of spam visits and unwanted bots.
 
That's why I started using Cloudflare. This is a free service, and I recommend it to all EASKME readers.

If you do not know what Cloudflare is, this article is for you. You need not have any technical knowledge to set up an account with Cloudflare.

What is Cloudflare, and how does it work?

Let's see this example. EASKME.com is hosted on a web server with I.P "1.1.1.1". So when you type EASKME.com in the browser, the browser sends a DNS request and gets the result "1.1.1.1", and you can access the site.
 
In CloudFlare, you add Cloudflare Name-server to the domain.

Then, Cloudflare starts filtering all the requests coming to your website. Cloudflare blocks any illegal access or spam and protects your site.
 
Cloudflare does not change anything on your website.

It just filters the traffic coming to your site.

So I recommend everyone to use Cloudflare on site. It offers both free and premium plans.

Benefits of Cloudflare:

It stops hacking attempts and Brute-force attacks:

Cloudflare system works at the Name-server level and filters out spam attacks.

It protects your blog or website from comment spam, SQL injection, DDOS attack. So this is good for security for your site.
 
You need to set security at a low level to access the site to ensure that visitors can access the site worldwide.

No need to wait for DNS propagation:

When you use Cloudflare, you need not wait for DNS propagation.

Instead, you just need to change the I.P address of the server from Dashboard, and your domain name will start pointing to a new host.

Free CDN:

This is one of the major benefits of using CloudFlare.

It is very easy to integrate. Cloudflare CDN will increase the performance of your website or blog by almost 50% and make your site load faster.

Save bandwidth:

If you are using some hosting plan which works on hits, then you should work to save your site from spammy hits.

For example, Cloudflare filters out spam bots traffic and saves a lot of bandwidth.
 
Cloudflare also offers RocketLoader, which Automatically asynchronously load all JavaScript resources and protect the site from Email harvesting. CloudFlare also offers free SSL (Https).

Important things when using CloudFlare:

When you change the theme of your site, then purge Cloudflare cache under settings and enable Development mode.

If you are a WordPress user, you can use Sunny's plugin to purge.
 
I recommend everyone to use Cloudflare as it provides security and saves bandwidth.

I am using a free plan.
