Explains how CDNs can be integrated with existing hosting providers without requiring major infrastructure changes
Yes. A CDN is designed to work alongside your existing hosting environment without requiring major infrastructure changes. The origin server, whether it is a dedicated instance or a shared hosting platform, continues to host your content, while the CDN handles distribution and caching at its global edge locations.
To integrate a CDN, you typically update your DNS records so that traffic is routed through the CDN rather than directly to the origin. In some cases, you may configure your web server to point specific content to the CDN, such as static assets, media files, or APIs. Once configured, the CDN intercepts user requests, serves cached content when available, and forwards uncached requests to your origin server.
Refer to the official Vultr CDN Push and Pull Zone documentation to learn how to plug your origin with Vultr’s CDN.
