Gcore
Comprehensive cloud services, CDN, DDoS protection, and AI infrastructure across 210+ global locations. Scale your business with edge computing solutions.
European cdn & ddos protection alternative based in Luxembourg.
Gcore is a Luxembourg-headquartered global cloud and edge services provider offering CDN, cloud hosting, edge computing, DDoS protection, managed video streaming, and AI inference from a single platform. With 210+ points of presence across six continents and an owned network backbone, it delivers sub-20ms latency to 95% of the global internet population.
Cloud VMs and bare metal servers deploy across multiple EU and global regions. AI inference at the edge runs models close to users for real-time applications without routing to central data centres, while managed Kubernetes, S3-compatible object storage, and a Web Application Firewall complete the platform stack.

- 210+ global PoPs with EU-origin traffic served from European infrastructure
- Edge CDN with real-time purge APIs, custom rules, and developer-friendly configuration
- Cloud VMs and bare metal across EU and international regions
- AI inference at the edge for low-latency model serving close to end users
- Inline DDoS protection at network-layer speeds — no traffic rerouting or latency penalty
- Managed Kubernetes with autoscaling for containerised application workloads
- S3-compatible object storage for static assets, media, and backups
- Free tier for CDN and compute to evaluate performance before committing

The platform holds ISO 27001 certification and is fully GDPR-compliant, with EU data residency available across all core services. Founded in 2014 with approximately 600 employees, Gcore owns its physical infrastructure and peering agreements rather than reselling third-party cloud capacity.
