Updated on April 3, 2025

Active Regions in Vultr CDN function as dedicated Pull Zones that dynamically cache and distribute content across selected regions for optimal delivery. With 32 global locations to choose from, you can ensure that your content is efficiently delivered to users around the world. By updating the active regions, you can improve performance and tailor content distribution to better serve different geographic areas.

Follow this guide to update the active regions for a Vultr CDN Pull Zone subscription on your Vultr account using the Vultr Customer Portal or API.

  1. Navigate to Products, click CDN, and then click Pull Zones.
  2. Click your target CDN Pull Zone subscription to open its management page.
  3. Click Regions.
  4. Select any region in which you want a Pull Zone.
  5. Deselect any region in which you do not want a Pull Zone.

  1. Send a GET request to the List CDN Pull Zones endpoint and note the target Pull Zone subscription's ID.

    console 
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/cdns/pull-zones" \
    -X GET \

    -X PUT \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '{
        "regions": [
