In short: choose LaunchCDN for CDN-fronted hosting from 10 to 1,000+ sites, down to $1.70 per site, with 21-day backups and backlink blocking included. Choose Bulk Buy Hosting for 5 to 125 sites on real shared hosting accounts, each with full cPanel or DirectAdmin and real mailboxes. A number of customers use both to mix IP types across their PBN.
LaunchCDN and Bulk Buy Hosting are complementary services from the same team. Both host private blog networks with no shared footprint, but they take different routes to get there. Here’s how they compare, when each one is the better launch pad, and why a number of customers use both.
Two Ways to Host a Network
LaunchCDN puts a major CDN in front of every site. Your sites are served through Amazon CloudFront, Cloudflare or Bunny.net, so the IP a visitor or crawler sees belongs to the CDN and is shared with huge numbers of legitimate businesses. There’s no origin IP to trace back to a hosting pool.
Bulk Buy Hosting spreads sites across shared hosts. Each site gets its own cPanel or DirectAdmin account at a different popular shared hosting company, under that host’s own name servers, so it looks like one more ordinary customer of that host.
LaunchCDN vs Bulk Buy Hosting
| LaunchCDN | Bulk Buy Hosting | |
|---|---|---|
| How your sites are served | Served through Amazon CloudFront, Cloudflare or Bunny.net, on shared CDN IPs | Each site on its own account at a different popular shared host, alongside that host’s real customers |
| Who owns the IP a visitor sees | The CDN provider | The shared hosting company (more than 10 different owners) |
| Name servers | Randomized name servers from the CDN providers or major third-party DNS | Each host’s own standard name servers |
| Control panel | DirectAdmin and FTP for every site, plus one-click WordPress login from the dashboard | A full cPanel or DirectAdmin account for every site |
| Site types | WordPress, static HTML, or any PHP CMS such as Joomla or Archivarix | WordPress, static HTML or any CMS the panel can run |
| Free email forwarding; point MX records at Fastmail, Proton, Google Workspace or similar for full mailboxes | Real mailboxes in each site’s control panel | |
| Backlink checker blocking | On by default | Off by default (free Link Silencer plugin available) |
| AI crawlers | Allowed (Cloudflare’s AI crawler blocking is switched off on deploy) | Allowed |
| Backups | Automatic, kept for 21 days, restorable from DirectAdmin (best effort, so keep your own too) | Varies by host, so keep your own copies |
| Disk and bandwidth | 1GB disk and 20GB bandwidth per site, pooled across your account | 1GB disk and 20GB bandwidth per site, pooled across your account |
| Plan sizes | 10 to 1,000+ domains | 5 to 125 domains |

| Lowest price per site | $1.70 (1,000 domains) | $2.18 (125 domains) |
| Trial | $10 for your first month, then $29/month for 10 domains | $10 for your first 30 days, then $35/month for 10 domains |
| Free on both | Site migrations, a 30-day money-back guarantee, 24×7 support with a 15-minute average first response, free SSL, an API for scripts and AI agents, one dashboard with Ahrefs Domain Rating, and PBN Builds site builds | |
Choose LaunchCDN If…
1. Your Network Is Big, or About to Be
Plans run from 10 to 1,000+ domains, and the price per site keeps falling as you grow, down to $1.70. LaunchCDN is cheaper than Bulk Buy Hosting at every size.
2. You Want Sites Behind a Major CDN
Visitors and crawlers only ever see CloudFront, Cloudflare or Bunny.net IPs, the same networks that serve some of the largest sites on the internet.
3. You Want More Done for You
WordPress comes pre-installed with one-click login, or bring any PHP CMS such as Joomla or Archivarix. Backups run automatically for 21 days, and backlink checkers are blocked by default. Aidan, our 24×7 support AI, can fix common issues on your sites fast, with real server engineers on hand for anything trickier.
Choose Bulk Buy Hosting If…
1. You Want Every Site to Be a Real Shared Hosting Account
Each site sits on a different server at a different popular host, sharing its IP with that host’s genuine customers.
2. You Want a Full Control Panel per Site
Every site gets its own cPanel or DirectAdmin account, with its own installers, PHP selector and panel API.
3. You Need Real Mailboxes
Create email accounts on each domain straight from its panel, without a separate email provider. Bulk Buy Hosting plans cover 5 to 125 sites.
Better Together: Use Both
A number of our customers use both services to ensure a diverse mix of IPs for their PBN. Some sites run on CDN IPs through LaunchCDN, owned by Amazon CloudFront, Cloudflare and Bunny.net; the rest run on shared-hosting IPs through Bulk Buy Hosting, owned by more than 10 different hosting companies.
The two services run on completely separate infrastructure: different CDNs and hosting companies, different IP owners, different name servers. Splitting a network between them mixes two unrelated hosting patterns, which makes your sites even harder to tie together than either service on its own.
- Two kinds of IP: CDN IPs and shared-host IPs in the same network.
- Two sets of name servers: the CDN providers’ and each host’s own.
- Easy to start: both begin with a $10 trial, and either team will migrate sites across for free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are LaunchCDN and Bulk Buy Hosting the same company?
They’re complementary services run by the same team, with separate accounts, dashboards and infrastructure. Nothing in either network’s DNS, IPs or name servers links to the other.
Which is cheaper?
LaunchCDN, at every plan size: 10 sites are $29/month against $35, and 100 sites are $199/month against $230.
Can I use both services for the same network?
Yes, and a number of customers do, to ensure a diverse mix of IPs for their PBN: some sites on shared-hosting IPs through Bulk Buy Hosting, the rest on CDN IPs through LaunchCDN. Nothing links the two, and either team will migrate sites across for free.
Can I move sites between them?
Yes. Sign up for the other service and open a support ticket, and we’ll migrate the sites for free. Your old sites stay live until the new copies are ready.
Which is better for Generative Engine Optimization?
Both let AI crawlers through, and both include an API so your scripts or an AI agent can deploy and refresh sites. LaunchCDN suits larger GEO networks on price; Bulk Buy Hosting suits networks where each site needs its own full hosting account.
