LaunchCDN Review (2026): The “Scam Version” Of Real PBN Hosting — And Why Their Own Customers Call Them Scammers

LaunchCDN Review

LaunchCDN markets itself as a serious PBN hosting platform. The reality, when you actually look under the hood, is that it’s an over-priced, copy-cat platform run by the same people behind Bulk Buy Hosting, sitting on a 3.6 Trustpilot rating with one customer flat-out calling them “scammers” — and another confirming their entire UI is a clone of their own sister company’s product. This is the no-bullshit 2026 review.

The short version, before the receipts

If you can’t be bothered reading the whole thing, here’s the summary:

  • LaunchCDN and Bulk Buy Hosting are the same company. Same Singapore office address. Same UI. LaunchCDN admitted it on Trustpilot. Bulk Buy Hosting admit it on their own pricing page.
  • They are between 66% and 82% more expensive than us at every plan size — and almost double our price at the volumes most PBN operators actually run (10–50 sites).
  • Their homepage reads like a knock-off of real PBN hosting marketing. Same buzzwords, same promises, none of the science behind them.
  • Trustpilot rating: 3.6 from just 6 reviews. One customer calls them “SCAMMERS” in capitals. Another long-term customer dropped them from 5 stars to 3 once they actually tested the product.
  • One verified review confirms 10 sites visible on a single IP in Ahrefs — the exact opposite of what they advertise.
  • They’ve been caught buying brand mentions on third-party “review” sites that conveniently never mention the 1-star reviews on their actual Trustpilot profile.

And we’re already on the homepage comparison chart noting them as a sister company to Bulk Buy Hosting, with their per-site cost lined up against the rest of the market. Now the long version, with all the receipts.

The homepage: every cliché in the PBN hosting playbook

Pull up launchcdn.com and read the hero. Their pitch:

“LaunchCDN runs your Private Blog Network on the same CDNs the biggest brands pay for — Amazon CloudFront, Cloudflare, and more. Zero footprints, free SSL, one-click WordPress. Host WordPress, PHP, or static HTML from $1.70 per site.”

LaunchCDN homepage

Read it carefully. Every single phrase is borrowed authority. “The same CDNs the biggest brands pay for.” “Zero footprints.” “From $1.70 per site” — a price you can only actually get if you commit to one thousand domains, which we’ll get to in a moment. The whole thing reads like someone fed our homepage and Easy Blog Networks’ homepage into ChatGPT and asked for a generic merge.

Then there’s the section headlines: YOUR CHOICE OF CDNS · NO SERVER FOOTPRINTS · WORDPRESS OR STATIC HTML · E-MAIL FORWARDING · FREE SSL CERTIFICATES · WE’RE HERE FOR YOU. It’s the same six bullet points every PBN host has used for the last five years. There’s nothing here that demonstrates they actually understand the problem they’re claiming to solve. There’s no science, no methodology, no data, no track record. Just buzzwords arranged in capital letters.

For the difference between marketing copy and an actual PBN hosting methodology, have a read of how we handle footprint elimination with our scientific algorithm. Then come back and try to find anything equivalent on LaunchCDN. You won’t.

The pricing: borderline insulting at any normal scale

Let’s talk about that “from $1.70 per site” claim. Here’s their actual published pricing as of 2026:

PlanPricePer-site cost
10 Domain Trial$10 (first month only)$1.00
50 Domain Plan$109/m$2.18
100 Domain Plan$199/m$1.99
1000 Domain Plan$1,699/m$1.69
LaunchCDN published pricing, source: launchcdn.com/pricing

So the “$1.70 per site” hero claim is only true if you sign up for the thousand-domain plan. Anyone running 50 sites — which is a perfectly normal PBN size — is paying $2.18 per site. Anyone running 100 is paying $1.99. The headline number on their homepage is the price almost no real customer will ever actually pay.

Now let’s compare that to PBN.LTD’s actual pricing:

Site countPBN.LTDLaunchCDNYou overpay LaunchCDN by
10 sites$1.20/site$2.18/site* — or $1.00 trial+82%
50 sites$1.20/site$2.18/site+82%
100 sites$1.20/site$1.99/site+66%
1000 sites$1.00/site$1.69/site+69%
*LaunchCDN don’t publish a 10-domain plan beyond the $10 first-month trial — you’re auto-rolled into the 50-domain plan after that.

You are paying significantly more for LaunchCDN at every plan size, and that’s before you account for the fact that we don’t lock you into 50 domains minimum after a trial month. Our PBN 5 plan starts at $6 a month total. LaunchCDN’s smallest non-trial plan is $109 a month. That’s an order of magnitude difference for someone just getting started.

The sister-company situation: it’s not even hidden

Here’s where it gets really interesting. LaunchCDN is run by the same company as Bulk Buy Hosting. That’s not me speculating. That’s both companies admitting it openly:

  • LaunchCDN’s official Trustpilot reply (14 July 2024): “You are correct, LaunchCDN is run by the same company as Bulk Buy Hosting, and we started LaunchCDN in 2017, about 2 years after we started Bulk Buy Hosting.”
  • Bulk Buy Hosting’s own pricing page: “Plans scale up to 150 domains; for thousands of sites, see our sister service LaunchCDN.”
  • Identical Trustpilot company addresses: Both LaunchCDN and Bulk Buy Hosting list the exact same Singapore office — 160 Robinson Road #14-04, 068914. Same building, same suite number.
  • A Korean reviewer (azjake) left the same review on both Trustpilot profiles in July 2024: “This service platform has the exact same UI as bulkbuyhosting.com, from signup to payment to operation… it’s exactly the same.”

Why does this matter? Because the entire pitch of a PBN hosting service is “we keep your sites diverse and footprint-free.” If your blogs are spread between LaunchCDN and Bulk Buy Hosting trying to look like two separate hosting providers, you’re paying twice for the same infrastructure. Same UI. Same backend. Same payment system. Same Singapore office. The “diversity” is a marketing illusion.

This is also why we list both LaunchCDN and Bulk Buy Hosting separately on our homepage comparison chart, with both flagged as SISTER CO. — so anyone diligence-checking can immediately see they’re the same operation.

What real customers actually say (when they aren’t paid to)

LaunchCDN’s homepage is dressed up with selectively cherry-picked testimonials and “as featured in” brand mentions on third-party review sites. The actual Trustpilot reviews tell a very different story.

Trustpilot rating: 3.6 from 6 reviews. Yes, six. After eight years of operation. That’s not a typo. Compare that to platforms with hundreds or thousands of reviews and you start to see the picture — either nobody’s using them, or they’re actively suppressing negative feedback. Probably both.

Let me walk you through some of the actual reviews:

Max Hamann (Spain), May 2025 — 1 star, headline “SCAMMERS!”

Yes — in capitals, with an exclamation mark. The reviewer reports being unable to remove their payment card from the platform and accuses LaunchCDN of “outright fraud.” LaunchCDN’s official reply blames it on “a local browser issue on your end.” That’s the company response to a customer publicly accusing them of fraud — “sounds like a browser problem, mate.” The kind of customer service that fills you with confidence.

azjake (Korea), July 2024 — 2 stars

The reviewer who confirmed LaunchCDN and Bulk Buy Hosting share an identical UI. Their summary: “Not the worst service, but definitely a bad service.” Damning with faint praise from someone who paid for and tested both platforms simultaneously.

Dennis Hamming (Laos), updated July 2024 — downgraded to 3 stars

This is the most damaging review of the lot, because Dennis isn’t a hater — he’s a long-term customer who became more negative the longer he used the platform. Direct quotes:

  • “They mask IP addresses but due to blocking of Ahrefs and such it was impossible to see. Only after requesting them to stop blocking crawlers I could see up to 10 sites on the very same IP. Their response: ‘We serve IP’s based on location’ — that may be true but that doesn’t change the fact that Ahrefs shows that many sites on the same IP, so if Ahrefs can see that so can Google.”
  • “Constant nameserver changes are needed, not just because something got broken on my end. It just happens randomly when they change things on their side. This happens a little too frequently for my liking.”
  • “When a site doesn’t load during set up they require me to change the nameservers up to three times for a single domain.”
  • “There was another issue because they use BunnyCDN which doesn’t allow them to whitelist my server IP.”

Take a moment to absorb point 1. An actual paying customer, with verified Ahrefs data, found 10 LaunchCDN sites sitting on the same IP — the literal definition of a hosting footprint, on a service that’s selling itself as “zero footprints”. Their official explanation? “We serve IPs based on location.” That’s not an answer. That’s an admission.

And point 5 reveals something interesting: they’re using BunnyCDN as a backend. Their homepage talks about “Amazon CloudFront, Cloudflare, and more” as if they own deep CDN integrations. The reality, leaked by their own customer, is that there’s a third-party CDN reseller layer sitting in between — with its own footprints, its own restrictions, and no way for them to even whitelist their own customers’ server IPs. That’s not “your choice of CDNs.” That’s “we’re a thin reseller layer over BunnyCDN that happens to have a Cloudflare logo on the marketing page.”

The technical reality: a CDN that runs on someone else’s CDN

Forget the marketing for a second. Let’s talk about what’s actually happening on the wire when you deploy a site to LaunchCDN, because this is where the wheels come off completely. Their entire pitch — their only pitch — is “real CDN infrastructure, no footprints, sites blend in with millions of legitimate businesses.” Every one of those claims falls apart the moment you put it under a microscope.

Footprint #1: 10 sites on a single IP — verified by a paying customer with Ahrefs

This is the headline finding and it deserves repeating until it sinks in. A long-term LaunchCDN customer (Dennis Hamming, Trustpilot, July 2024) ran his own infrastructure audit using Ahrefs and found up to 10 LaunchCDN sites sharing a single IP address. Not 10 sites in a CDN region. Not 10 sites in a /24 block. Ten sites on the exact same IP.

Their excuse — “we serve IPs based on location” — is the kind of answer you give when you’ve been caught and you’re hoping the customer doesn’t know how IP allocation actually works. Yes, CDNs serve traffic from edge nodes near the visitor. No, that doesn’t put 10 of your customers’ PBN sites on the same edge IP unless you’ve stuffed them into a tiny shared pool. Real Cloudflare/CloudFront customers don’t share IPs with nine of their direct competitors in the same micro-niche. That is the textbook definition of a hosting footprint.

Footprint #2: They block Ahrefs to hide the IP clustering

This is the part that makes me genuinely angry. Dennis only saw the 10-sites-on-1-IP problem after specifically asking LaunchCDN to stop blocking SEO crawlers on his account. By default, LaunchCDN blocks Ahrefs, Majestic, SEMrush, and friends — supposedly to “protect” your sites. Convenient.

Here’s the problem: blocking SEO crawlers is itself a footprint. Real businesses don’t blanket-block Ahrefs. Real ecommerce sites want Ahrefs to crawl them so they can monitor backlinks. The only operators who systematically firewall SEO tools are PBN networks trying to hide their topology. So LaunchCDN’s “default protection” achieves the opposite of what they claim — it tells Google’s machine-learning models “this is a PBN pool” with a flashing neon sign. And then, on top of that, it conveniently hides their own IP-clustering problem from the customers paying them to fix exactly that.

You either have nothing to hide or you don’t. They have something to hide.

Footprint #3: BunnyCDN reseller layer — the “premium CDN” that isn’t

Their homepage screams about Amazon CloudFront and Cloudflare. Their Zero Footprints page brags about sitting on “the same IP ranges as Fortune 500 sites.” Cute. The reality, again straight from a paying customer: LaunchCDN is reselling BunnyCDN.

That matters for two reasons. First, BunnyCDN is a budget edge network — it’s fine, but it’s not “the same network powering a huge slice of the web.” It’s the network powering people who couldn’t afford CloudFront. Second, and far more importantly: BunnyCDN won’t whitelist origin server IPs for resellers. Dennis ran into this directly — his AI content generation script kept failing because he couldn’t whitelist his own server through the LaunchCDN/BunnyCDN sandwich. The “fix” LaunchCDN’s founder offered was a manual hosts-file workaround. On a service that costs more per site than ours.

So when LaunchCDN sells you “Your Choice of CDNs” — what they actually mean is “your choice of CDN logos to display in our dashboard, while we route the traffic through whatever cheap reseller deal we’re on this quarter.” That’s a bait-and-switch on the single most important architectural claim of the entire service.

Footprint #4: They publish the origin IP to every customer — and beg them not to share it

This is the part where I had to read it twice to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. LaunchCDN’s own support documentation, published on their official knowledge base, instructs every paying customer how to bypass the CDN entirely and connect directly to the origin server’s IP address. They literally publish the origin IP into every customer’s dashboard, in a box helpfully labelled “CDN Bypass Details.”

Here’s the article, dated 27 August 2019 and still live today: support.launchcdn.com/knowledgebase/article/editing-hosts-file-to-bypass-cdn. Direct quotes:

  • “CDNs can sometimes be difficult to work with when building WordPress sites, which is why we offer the option to bypass the CDN layer and work directly on the site.”
  • “Editing your hosts file allows you to override the DNS for a domain… use a browser plugin to be able to directly access the server your website is being hosted on.”
  • “Within your account, simply click on the domain you want to work on to see the More Details screen, where we have ‘CDN Bypass Details’ box. Simply copy and paste the two lines of that code snippet…”
  • “IMPORTANT: You should not use these IP addresses anywhere other than in your hosts file.”

Read that last sentence three or four times. “You should not use these IP addresses anywhere other than in your hosts file.” That is a hosting company, in writing, telling you that the origin IP they just handed you in your dashboard is so dangerous to your network that you must not let it leak anywhere else. Not on a forum. Not in a screenshot. Not in a support ticket on someone else’s platform. Nowhere except a local file on your own laptop.

Why? Because they know exactly what happens if that IP gets exposed. Every site they host on that origin gets clustered together by Google in a single pass. Every PBN customer’s network, on every domain, mapped to one server pool, exactly the footprint their entire homepage swears doesn’t exist.

Now compare that with their Zero Footprints page, which says verbatim: “LaunchCDN doesn’t own a single IP address used to serve your PBN to the public. Visitors always see a CDN’s IP — Amazon CloudFront, Cloudflare, and more — never ours.”

Both of those statements cannot be true at the same time. Either (a) the origin IP exists, sits behind the CDN, ties their customers’ sites together, and is so toxic to expose that they ship written warnings about it — in which case the marketing page is a lie. Or (b) the marketing page is true and there’s no shared origin IP — in which case the entire “CDN Bypass Details” feature has nothing to bypass to, the support article is fiction, and they’ve spent six years writing detailed instructions for a thing that doesn’t exist.

It’s not (b). The article has been published since 27 August 2019. They’ve been telling customers to copy origin IPs out of their dashboards for over six years. Every PBN site ever deployed on LaunchCDN has had its origin IP one click away from public exposure, sitting in a dashboard tab, with the only protection being a polite request that customers don’t paste it into a screenshot.

And remember Dennis Hamming’s review from earlier — the one where Ahrefs caught 10 LaunchCDN sites on the same IP? That wasn’t a fluke. That wasn’t an edge case. That’s the architecture. Every single LaunchCDN customer is one accidental forum post, one disgruntled ex-employee, one screenshot in a Twitter thread away from their entire network getting clustered. The “zero footprint” promise is held together by trust that nobody talks about the IP. That’s not infrastructure. That’s hope.

For comparison, here’s how PBN.LTD handles this exact problem: we don’t need a “CDN Bypass Details” box because every customer site sits on its own dedicated container with its own IP from the start. There is no shared origin to bypass to. There is no warning page begging you not to share the real IP, because the IP you see is the IP — sourced from a network of unrelated providers across multiple geographies. Genuine zero-footprint architecture doesn’t require customer NDAs to stay zero-footprint.

Footprint #5: Constant unprompted nameserver changes

Dennis again: “Constant nameserver changes are needed, not just because something got broken on my end. It just happens randomly when they change things on their side. This happens a little too frequently for my liking.” And: “When a site doesn’t load during set up they require me to change the nameservers up to three times for a single domain.”

Random nameserver changes from a hosting provider are a nightmare for two reasons. One, every time you swap NS records at the registrar, you’re triggering a fresh propagation event — which can drop your sites out of indexing for hours. Two, NS record history is one of the cheapest signals Google can use to cluster a network. If thirty of your domains have all moved between the same handful of nameservers in the same week, that’s a fingerprint. LaunchCDN’s “randomised name servers per domain” claim doesn’t help when they keep shuffling them on you reactively.

Footprint #6: The card lock-in — technically a UX bug, practically a billing trap

Max Hamann, May 2025, 1 star, headline literally “SCAMMERS!”: he reports that the “remove card” button silently fails, the “Change Plan” page won’t open, and the support ticket creation form throws an error — all conveniently after his card has been added. Whether that’s a deliberate dark pattern or just an embarrassingly broken billing system on a hosting product they charge premium prices for, the result is the same: customers can’t leave.

You’re paying for “real server engineers” and “24×7 ticketing.” You can’t even open a ticket. Sit with that for a second.

Footprint #7: It doesn’t actually stay online — first-hand from us, not Trustpilot

Everything above is sourced from public Trustpilot evidence and LaunchCDN’s own pricing page. This bit isn’t. This is from our own desk, building real PBN sites for a real client on the LaunchCDN platform, and it’s the part that genuinely shocked me.

A while back, a client of ours (a PBN builder using LaunchCDN at the time) asked us to build a batch of sites on his existing LaunchCDN account. Standard job for us — we routinely build close to a hundred PBN sites in a single day with the team we have. So we logged into his LaunchCDN dashboard, started building, and immediately ran into a wall.

  • 503 errors. Constant 503 errors. Not occasional. Not “during peak load.” Constant. The CDN edges would just stop responding mid-build, sometimes for minutes at a time.
  • “Server capacity reached” messages. Repeated, on a paid hosting service that markets itself as “real CDN infrastructure.” On a real CDN, you don’t see that error — capacity is the entire point of paying CDN money. Their backend is clearly a small over-stuffed origin pool dressed up with CDN logos on the dashboard.
  • Sites going offline mid-edit. You’d be partway through configuring WordPress and the site would just disappear from public reach. Refresh, come back, half your settings missing.
  • Backups didn’t work. The backup function in the dashboard either silently failed, returned errors, or produced files that weren’t restorable. On a hosting product. In 2024.

The end result? It took us two weeks to build a single PBN site on LaunchCDN. Read that line again. We can build close to a hundred sites in a day on our own infrastructure. On theirs, it took fourteen days to get one finished. Not because the work was hard — because we couldn’t keep the platform online long enough to complete each step.

That same client, having seen the chaos, asked us to migrate everything off LaunchCDN onto our hosting. Reasonable request. Should be a straightforward export-import job. Except we couldn’t even pull clean backups off LaunchCDN — the sites were going down so often during the export attempts that the backup files came out incomplete or corrupted. In the end we gave up trying to migrate, transferred just the domains, and rebuilt the sites from scratch on our side. That was faster than wrestling LaunchCDN’s own backup tool into producing a working archive.

Take a moment with that. The hosting company’s own backup feature was so broken that rebuilding the sites from zero was the faster path off their platform. That is the most damning thing I can say about a hosting service, and I’ve reviewed a lot of them. It’s the most shocking host I’ve ever personally used, and I’ve used a lot.

So when you read their marketing page about “99.9% uptime” and “real CDN infrastructure” and “24×7 support from real engineers” — understand that those words aren’t describing the product real customers actually receive. That’s the brochure. The product is constant 503s, capacity errors, broken backups, and a migration path so painful that it’s quicker to start over than to leave cleanly.

What “real infrastructure” actually looks like

For comparison, here’s what we do at PBN.LTD: every site gets its own dedicated container, IPs come from a genuine pool of hundreds of thousands of A, B and C net IPs sourced from multiple unrelated providers across multiple geographies (not one shared range dressed up as a CDN), name servers are randomised and stable (we don’t shuffle them on you mid-month), we don’t block Ahrefs by default because we don’t have anything we need to hide from Ahrefs, and our origin layer doesn’t sit behind another reseller’s CDN. When we say “zero footprints” we mean it architecturally, not as a marketing slogan.

You can verify our setup yourself. Take the 7-day free trial, drop a domain on, and run it through Ahrefs, IPneighbors, dnschecker.org, whatever you like. We’d rather you check than just trust us. LaunchCDN literally won’t let you check.

“As featured in” — or, how to manufacture trust

If you Google “LaunchCDN review” you’ll find a healthy number of glowing third-party endorsements on coupon sites, “best PBN hosting 2024” listicles, and various low-quality SEO blogs. Read them carefully and you’ll notice three things:

  • None of them mention the 1-star “SCAMMERS” Trustpilot review.
  • None of them mention the 10-sites-on-one-IP issue.
  • None of them mention the sister-company relationship with Bulk Buy Hosting.
  • Most of them include suspiciously specific affiliate links and “use code XXX for 20% off” patterns.

This is paid placement and affiliate-incentivised content, not journalism. Same playbook Easy Blog Networks were caught running in our 2020 EBN review when they emailed me asking to buy a testimonial. The PBN hosting industry’s been doing this for years — and LaunchCDN are right in the thick of it.

If a company has to manufacture its credibility through paid mentions while ignoring the verified 1-star review on Trustpilot accusing them of fraud, that’s not a company you want hosting your network.

Side-by-side comparison: PBN.LTD vs LaunchCDN, 2026.

The site rebuild that suspiciously mirrors ours

Here’s a fun thing that’s happened over the last few months. We rebuilt pbn.ltd from the ground up — new hero, new positioning, a full 8-host comparison chart, dedicated features architecture page, a long-form PBN guide, hard numbers on uptime and deindex rate, the works. Then I went to look at LaunchCDN this week to write this review and noticed something:

They’ve quietly rebuilt their site to mirror ours, claim by claim.

Now — I’m not going to claim copyright infringement on PBN-hosting marketing copy. The vocabulary is finite and we all sell to the same people. But when a competitor systematically lifts the structure, claims, and even specific phrasings we’ve used to differentiate ourselves, and bolts them onto a service whose own customers say it doesn’t deliver any of those things, that’s worth flagging. So let’s flag it.

Side-by-side: what they’re claiming vs what we said first

ClaimPBN.LTD (the original)LaunchCDN (the photocopy)
Architectural framing“Zero Footprint Technology” / scientific algorithm that eliminates every detectable hosting footprint“Zero Footprints. Real Infrastructure.” — a near-identical page reframing the same claim
Footprint-by-footprint breakdownSOA records, name servers, IP diversity, MX records, SSL ownership — itemised on our features pageSOA records, name servers, datacenter footprints, IP ownership, MX records — same list, same order, same framing
Support SLAReal human support, fast first response, no script-readers“15-minute average first response — not tier-1 script readers” (their phrasing)
“Real businesses” framingSites blend in with millions of real Sites across mainstream IP space“Your sites share IPs with millions of real businesses” (verbatim concept, near-verbatim wording)
One-click WordPress + free SSL + 7-day trialLong-standing PBN.LTD feature set, on the homepage for yearsNow front-and-centre on the LaunchCDN homepage, framed identically
Comparison page targeting EBNOur Easy Blog Networks Alternative pageThey now have a page literally titled “Easy Blog Networks Alternative” in their footer
Founding-year longevity badge“20+ Yrs Experience” hero stat — we’ve been doing this since the early SEO days“Operating since 2017” suddenly added to their footer this year

Look at that table for a second. Every line of it is a claim where the difference between us and them is that ours is verifiable and theirs is contradicted by their own customers on Trustpilot. We say zero footprints; they say zero footprints, but a paying customer found 10 of their sites on one IP. We say real CDN infrastructure; they say real CDN infrastructure, but a paying customer caught them reselling BunnyCDN. We say fast human support; they say 15-minute first response, but a paying customer couldn’t even open a ticket.

The pattern is consistent: copy our positioning, dilute our claims to whatever their actual stack can almost-deliver, and hope nobody runs the numbers. This whole post is me running the numbers.

Why I think this matters for you, the buyer

You don’t care about marketing-page beef. Fine. Here’s why this matters anyway: when a competitor copies the words but not the underlying engineering, you can’t tell them apart from the sales page. That’s the entire point of the exercise. They’re betting that you’ll see two homepages saying “zero footprints, real infrastructure, fast support, free SSL, one-click WordPress” and pick the cheaper-looking one on autopilot.

The only way to break that tie is to look past the homepage at things they can’t fake: independent customer reviews on platforms they don’t control, technical audits a real customer has run, and whether the company is willing to publish a full 8-host side-by-side with their direct competitors named, scored, and linked. Spoiler: we publish ours. They don’t. Because if they did, they’d be on it.

The honest summary

LaunchCDN isn’t a scam in the strict legal sense — you do get hosting, your sites do come online, and they don’t run off with your money. But that’s also the lowest possible bar a hosting company can clear, and they’re barely clearing it.

What LaunchCDN actually is, in plain English:

  • A copy-cat platform sharing infrastructure and UI with Bulk Buy Hosting under the same Singapore company.
  • A homepage written to look like serious PBN hosting marketing, with no actual scientific methodology behind any of the claims.
  • A pricing page that buries the real per-site cost behind a hero number you can only get on a 1,000-domain plan.
  • A platform with verified customer reports of 10 sites on the same IP, contradicting the entire “footprint-free” pitch.
  • A company that responds to fraud accusations with “sounds like a browser issue.”
  • A 3.6 Trustpilot rating, on six reviews, after eight years of trading.

If you’re paying LaunchCDN today, my honest advice: get your data exported before your next billing cycle. If they’re already missing the basics — multiple sites on one IP, BunnyCDN reseller layer, randomly broken nameservers — the next Google update will not be kind. We do free migrations from any host, including LaunchCDN, no questions asked.

The alternative

You’re on our site, so you know where this is going. We’re cheaper at every plan size, we don’t run a sister-company shell game, our footprint elimination is backed by an actual scientific algorithm rather than four-word marketing slogans, and our customers don’t show up on Trustpilot calling us “SCAMMERS.” Specifically:

  • Genuine multi-provider hosting infrastructure — not a thin reseller over BunnyCDN.
  • Hundreds of thousands of dynamic IPs, properly distributed, footprint-balanced by our scientific algorithm.
  • From £1.20 per site per month, regardless of plan size — no “$1.70 only at 1000 domains” tricks.
  • Documented zero-deindexation track record. Real, verifiable, on-site data.
  • 30-day money-back guarantee, 7-day free trial, no card required.
  • Free migrations from LaunchCDN (or anywhere else — we’ll move your network for you).
  • 4.7 Trustpilot rating — from real customers leaving real reviews.

Start a 7-day free trial (no card required), or read the complete PBN guide first if you want to understand what real PBN hosting infrastructure should look like before you pick a host. If you’ve got specific questions about migrating from LaunchCDN, our free PBN advice service is exactly what it says on the tin.
