Can I Change the CDN Provider for My Domain on PBN LTD?

Short answer: Yes — you can change your CDN provider whenever you like. Whether you need to change CDN provider for SSL, speed or compatibility reasons, the steps below cover it. Pick the right section depending on whether the domain already has a live site or you’ve just added it.


✅ If your domain already has a live website

Because the CDN is set when the site is first added, the easiest way to change it is to back the site up, remove it, and add it again with the new CDN selected. Don’t worry — nothing is lost as long as you follow the steps in order.

  1. Back up your site first. In your PBN LTD dashboard, open the domain and either download the latest automatic backup or run a manual backup and download it. Save the file somewhere safe on your computer — you’ll need it in step 5.
  2. Delete the site. Still in the dashboard, delete the existing site for that domain. Your downloaded backup keeps everything safe — files, database, the lot.
  3. Re-add the domain with your new CDN. Go to Add Site, enter the same domain, and when prompted choose your new CDN (Cloudflare, BunnyCDN, KeyCDN or CDN77).
  4. Update your nameservers if they’ve changed. If the new CDN uses different nameservers, the dashboard will show you the new ones. Log into wherever you bought the domain (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) and replace the old nameservers with the new ones.
  5. Restore your backup. Back in the dashboard, open the new site, go to the Upload Backup tab and upload the file from step 1. Then open the Backups tab and restore it. Your site will come back online exactly as it was — just on the new CDN.

🆕 If you’ve just added the domain (no site on it yet)

If you haven’t installed a site on the domain yet, this is much quicker — there’s nothing to back up.

  1. Delete the domain from your PBN LTD dashboard.
  2. Re-add the domain and pick your new CDN when prompted.
  3. Update your nameservers at your domain registrar if the dashboard shows new ones.

🔒 Good to know

  • Your billing isn’t affected. Changing CDNs doesn’t cancel your subscription or charge you anything extra.
  • Always update your nameservers after re-adding the domain — if you skip this, the new CDN won’t work and the site won’t load.
  • DNS can take a little while to propagate after a nameserver change (usually minutes, sometimes up to a few hours). If the site doesn’t appear straight away, give it a bit of time before raising a ticket.
  • Stuck? Open a support ticket from your dashboard and we’ll walk you through it.
