Whois & Analysis for chinacache.com

A content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) is a globally distributed network of proxy servers deployed in multiple data centers.

The goal of a CDN is to serve content to end-users with high availability and high performance.

CDNs serve a large fraction of the Internet content today, including web objects (text, graphics and scripts), downloadable objects (media files, software, documents), applications (e-commerce, portals), live streaming media, on-demand streaming media, and social networks.

ChinaCache is a global provider of content delivery network and cloud computing.

The company is headquartered in Beijing, China, the European branch is based in London, UK and the North American branch is based in Los Angeles, CA.

Additional international branches are located in San Jose, CA, and Hong Kong.

The company began operating in 1998 as the first CDN in China, and became the largest market share holder in terms of revenue.

The company is the first non-telecommunications carrier to obtain, from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, a nationwide operating permit to provide content and application delivery services.

Mainland China, also known as the Chinese mainland or simply the mainland, is the geopolitical area under the direct jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China (PRC).

It generally excludes the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau; however, it usually includes Hainan.

The term "mainland China", which avoids calling the area simply "China" and thereby recognizing the founding of the PRC as the "China", was coined by the Kuomintang (KMT) after receiving control of Taiwan from Japan after World War II.

By 1949, the KMT-led Republic of China (ROC) government was defeated in the Chinese Civil War in mainland China and fled to the island of Taiwan where the KMT pledged to "retake the Mainland".

The KMT considers both sides of the Taiwan Strait (including Taiwan), as (one) "China" and one country, whereas Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) considers only mainland China as "China" and Taiwan (ROC) as "Taiwan" and maintains that they are different countries.

An Internet exchange point (IX or IXP) is a physical infrastructure through which Internet service providers (ISPs) and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) exchange Internet traffic between their networks (autonomous systems).

An Internet service provider (ISP) is an organization that provides services for accessing and using the Internet.

Internet service providers may be organized in various forms, such as commercial, community-owned, non-profit, or otherwise privately owned.
