The Arahoster CDN is a powerful content distribution network (or content delivery network) that uses physical, highly optimized servers across around the world to cache the content of your websites served from the Arahoster platform. Cached content of the data is stored at multiple CDN nodes around the world - customers from around the world will connect directly to CDN nodes instead of directly to our local network, resulting in content served faster and your websites loading quicker.
The CDN itself is used to cache static content. By default, the following file types are cached for 60 minutes before being purged automatically.

This type of caching is referred to our Edge Caching as it's cached at our network edge (a.k.a the CDN nodes). This cache can be purged at any time from the Edge Caching section within your control panel, this is accessed via Control Panel -> Edge Caching. Head down to the Purge Cache section to clear all the cached static content from all CDN nodes.
