Industries and companies that benefit most from European infrastructure
Strict data sovereignty requirements demand European-only infrastructure. Edgelin ensures compliance with national and EU regulations while delivering the performance citizens expect.

European consumers increasingly prefer companies that respect their privacy. Edgelin helps online stores deliver fast shopping experiences while demonstrating commitment to data protection.
Migrate to European infrastructure in three straightforward steps
Sign up and add your domains to the Edgelin dashboard. Configure caching rules, TTL settings, and any path exclusions you need.
Use our testing endpoints to verify everything works correctly before switching DNS. Check cache behavior, SSL certificates, and performance metrics.
Point your DNS to Edgelin's infrastructure. HTTPS certificates are provisioned automatically. Monitor the migration through real-time analytics.
Our team can assist with your migration from Cloudflare. We'll help you plan the transition, configure your setup, and ensure zero downtime.
Contact Migration Support →For European users, Edgelin is typically faster than Cloudflare because our infrastructure is optimized exclusively for European latency. We don't route traffic through US hubs, and our direct peering with EU ISPs ensures the shortest possible path. Cloudflare's global network is excellent for worldwide distribution, but Edgelin's EU-focused approach delivers lower latency for European visitors.
All Edgelin infrastructure—servers, databases, backups—resides exclusively in EU data centers within EU member states. We're a European company subject to EU jurisdiction, and we don't use any US-based cloud providers. Your data never crosses European borders, ensuring full compliance with data sovereignty requirements and protection from foreign surveillance laws like the US Cloud Act.
Edgelin is purpose-built for businesses serving primarily European audiences. If you have significant traffic from other continents, Cloudflare's global network may be a better fit. However, if 80%+ of your users are in Europe, our EU-optimized infrastructure will deliver better performance and lower latency than global CDNs routing through US backbone networks.
Yes. Cloudflare's free tier is generous but limited, and paid plans can become expensive with bandwidth charges and feature upgrades. Edgelin charges only €0.25 per 10,000 cache hits with no bandwidth fees, no storage fees, and no hidden costs. For most European businesses, this results in 40-60% lower total costs while maintaining enterprise-grade performance.
Technically yes, but we don't recommend it. Running multiple CDN layers adds complexity and can actually increase latency. If you need global coverage, consider using Cloudflare for non-European traffic and Edgelin for European traffic through geolocation-based DNS routing. However, for most European-focused businesses, Edgelin alone provides the best balance of performance, compliance, and cost.
Edgelin includes automatic DDoS protection and rate limiting at no additional cost. While Cloudflare is known for its advanced DDoS mitigation, Edgelin's infrastructure handles most common attack patterns effectively. For businesses requiring enterprise-level DDoS protection, we offer advanced security add-ons, but standard protection is included free for all customers.
