Overview

Speedy CDN (part of Mirhosting) is a leading CDN acceleration and cloud security provider in Russia and the CIS, headquartered in Russia, operating dense edge nodes across the Russian-speaking market, Eastern Europe, and CIS countries for game developers, streaming platforms, and online media.

Its nodes deeply cover Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, and CIS countries like Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. With local nodes, Speedy CDN delivers 5-15ms latency for Russian users, far better than EU/US origin routing. Beyond static acceleration, it excels at video streaming delivery and DDoS protection, making it essential infrastructure in the Russian-speaking internet ecosystem.

Key Strengths

  • Widest Russia/CIS node coverage: Far denser than international CDNs, with single-digit millisecond latency for Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kyiv, Minsk, and more—the optimal low-latency choice in the Russian market.
  • Enterprise-grade DDoS protection: Own cloud scrubbing center delivers Tbps-scale protection against L3/L4 and L7 (CC, HTTP Flood) attacks, with deep local experience against geopolitical-scale attacks; pair with WAF configuration for full-stack defense.
  • Video streaming optimization: HLS, DASH, HDS, RTMP support with smart segmented caching and pre-fetch cutting time-to-first-frame; ideal for game live, online education, and OTT; see video streaming CDN acceleration.
  • Web Application Firewall (WAF): Dual-mode rule and anomaly detection intercepting SQLi, XSS, command injection, and other OWASP Top 10 attacks, with continuously updated rules for 0-days.
  • Localized technical support: Russian and English support with deep knowledge of the 152-FZ personal data law—an important plus for compliant operation in Russia.

Limitations

  • Limited global coverage: Focused on Russia and the CIS with limited Europe/North America nodes and none in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, or Africa; use multi-CDN load balancing with Cloudflare and Gcore; see the cross-border CDN guide.
  • Lower international brand awareness: Below Cloudflare, Akamai, and Fastly, with procurement due-diligence challenges and few English/Chinese docs.
  • Narrower ecosystem: Products centered on CDN delivery and security, lacking edge computing, object storage, and serverless—requiring additional cloud integrations.
