Have you ever been frustrated by a website taking too long to load? Have you considered that your own website’s performance may be leaving a negative impression with your business’ visitors?
Typically, web hosting companies put bandwidth limitations on websites they host. This is like heavy traffic moving on a two-lane street between the server where your website is hosted and your visitors’ computers. Traffic jams and distance slow the load speed of the content, making your website appear to load slowly. For example, if someone in the UK is visiting your website hosted in California, videos, images, and downloads will load slowly – this is frustrating and inexcusable to visitors who are trying to access your services.
The solution to this problem is called a Content Delivery Network or CDN. A content delivery network is a system of servers networked together and cooperating to deliver your website content to visitors around the world faster.
Instead of sending your website content via a two lane road, FireHost’s content delivery network sends your website content to visitors using multiple “super highways” spanning the globe. FireHost’s CDN ensures your website’s heavy, bandwidth-intense content (including videos and images) loads smooth and fast for every visitor from the servers nearest to their location. This means higher customer satisfaction and a dose of good will for your company’s brand. CDN also means lower bandwidth costs, higher sales, and a healthy balance in your business checking account.
FireHost CDN provides these benefits by hosting your content from 45 locations throughout the world.
Our network spans:
- Five Continents: North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
- Ten Countries: The United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Japan, China, The Philippines, and Australia.

Our global CDN network is optimized for live video streaming, high definition video, and other large media files to provide visitors with an exceptional experience, wherever they are located.
