Content Delivery
Infrastructure.

Yes. Deploy VPS instances in multiple locations, install Nginx or Varnish as reverse proxy caches, and use DNS-based routing (GeoDNS or Cloudflare Load Balancing) to direct users to the nearest node. This is how many companies build custom CDN infrastructure - and at AlphaVPS pricing, it's far more economical than managed CDN services at scale.

VPS plans include 1-4TB of monthly bandwidth depending on the plan. Dedicated servers offer higher allocations, and our unmetered dedicated servers provide unlimited bandwidth at full port speed. There are no per-GB egress fees or per-request charges on any plan.

Nginx is the most popular choice - it handles both serving and caching efficiently. Varnish is purpose-built for HTTP caching and offers advanced cache invalidation features. For simple setups, Caddy with caching middleware works well. For large-scale deployments, consider Traffic Server (used by major CDNs) or Squid.

Cost: flat monthly rate vs. per-request + per-GB pricing. Control: full root access and custom caching logic vs. configuration panels. Scale: predictable costs regardless of traffic spikes vs. surprise bills during viral moments. Managed CDNs are convenient for small-to-medium traffic, but at scale, own infrastructure wins on both cost and control. For video-specific delivery, see our media streaming solutions.

Absolutely - many customers do. Use your VPS as the origin server and Cloudflare as a caching layer in front. This gives you the benefits of Cloudflare's global network for static content while keeping your dynamic content on infrastructure you control. Works seamlessly with both our high-performance VPS and dedicated servers.

DDoS protection is available as an optional add-on. For edge nodes, combining AlphaVPS DDoS protection with Cloudflare's proxy provides layered defense. Content delivery servers are attractive DDoS targets - protection is recommended for critical distribution infrastructure.

With flat-rate pricing, traffic spikes don't create invoice shocks. If your server approaches bandwidth limits during sustained spikes, you can add nodes in the same or different locations. Load balancing with DNS or an upstream proxy distributes traffic automatically.
