Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
BelugaCDN is a budget content delivery network from a Miami-based company that launched in 2015. It caches images, video, and other static assets on an IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack edge network. The vendor says it has 28 POPs and 9 SuperPOPs. CDNPlanet's count is smaller and concentrated in North America, with only a handful in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Oceania. Every account gets real-time analytics (branded Sonar), unlimited cache purging, secure token authentication, custom SSL, free cache-fill traffic, a control panel, and a REST API for purging, analytics, and configuration. Logs can be exported to Elasticsearch, Redis, or FTP. Pricing is metered. The Pay As You Go plan preloads 1,000 GB for 10 dollars, which works out to about one cent per GB, plus a 1 dollar monthly active-account fee. A Pro option is advertised at 20 dollars a month for 2,500 GB. Traffic above 5,000 requests per GB transferred costs extra. There are no long-term contracts. The company also sells managed WordPress hosting with the CDN, free SSL, backups, and DNS management included, from 4.99 to 499.99 dollars a month. BelugaCDN suits small businesses, bloggers, and developers who mainly want cheap bandwidth in North America and Europe. Its main limitation is support and trust. Standard support runs on weekday business hours only. Trustpilot reviews from 2021 describe unanswered tickets, long outages, and charges after cancellation. The public site also shows signs of light maintenance, such as placeholder text in the order summary and conflicting plan details.
Our Rating
Who BelugaCDN is best for
Best software for Small BusinessGood fit
Low per-GB rates, no contracts, and hosting from 4.99 dollars a month fit small sites with modest traffic.
Less suited
Cheap bandwidth for images and video, and early reviews mention low-cost HLS webcasting, but the POP footprint is limited outside North America.
A REST API for purge, analytics, and configuration plus log export suits developers, though there are few configuration options.
A small network, business-hours support, and a basic 99.9 percent SLA fall short of enterprise CDN expectations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Bandwidth costs about one cent per GB, with a 1 dollar monthly account fee and no contract, so a low-traffic site pays only a few dollars a month.
- Real-time analytics, unlimited purging, token authentication, custom SSL, and API access come with every account rather than being sold as add-ons.
- Logs can be exported to Elasticsearch, Redis, or FTP, and the API covers purge, analytics, and configuration.
- Reviewers report quick setup, about 45 seconds according to Website Planet, and noticeable speed gains for small sites.
- The hosting plans bundle the CDN, free SSL, backups, and DNS management from 4.99 dollars a month.
Cons
- Standard support covers weekdays, 9 AM to 5 PM EST, only. Priority support requires Platinum spend of over 500 dollars a month.
- Trustpilot reviews from 2021 report a 60-hour outage, unanswered tickets, and charges after cancellation. The TrustScore is 1.6 out of 5.
- The POP footprint is concentrated in North America, with only one Latin American POP and few in Asia and Oceania, according to CDNPlanet.
- The vendor's pages show conflicting plan details and placeholder text, so buyers should confirm pricing before committing.
- The SLA counts downtime only from when a support ticket is opened, and credits must be claimed within 30 days.
