CacheFly services

Content delivery network

CacheFly’s CDN is for distributing websites, media, software downloads, gaming content and other digital files. The company lists tailored, mobile and multi-CDN solutions as well. Our comparison lists features including video-on-demand and live video delivery, WAF and DDoS protection, cache purging, token authentication and origin storage.

Private CDN

This managed, single-tenant service is aimed at enterprise streaming and media use cases that need a dedicated CDN environment.

Object storage

CacheFly offers managed, S3-compatible object storage that can work with its CDN. It is intended for business use, and storage accounts and usage statistics are managed through the CacheFly Portal.

EdgeControl and delivery add-ons

EdgeControl lets customers use JavaScript-based edge logic to control request and response behavior, including routing, headers, access and authentication. CacheFly also lists options such as a web application firewall, Dedicated Shield and log streaming.

Network and support

CacheFly describes a global network with more than 75 points of presence across regions including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Africa. These are network locations; the available information does not establish that every location is a CacheFly-owned data centre.

Customers can contact support through portal tickets and email. Phone contact is listed for general inquiries. Support availability and incident coverage depend on the support plan; the highest tier lists priority email, private Slack and video conference support. The CacheFly Portal, CDN API, analytics and reporting tools, knowledge base and EdgeControl support account management and delivery workflows.

Who CacheFly suits

CacheFly is aimed at organizations distributing substantial volumes of digital content, especially streaming, media, gaming and software. Its private CDN and storage options may also suit businesses seeking managed delivery and storage services together.

It is less suited to someone looking for conventional shared web hosting, a simple personal website package or a broad range of standard hosting plans. Check the service terms and support tier carefully if you need a short commitment or defined incident coverage.
