Web Hosting is used to host your website on a server and let users access it over the internet. A CDN is about speeding up the access/delivery of your website’s assets to those users. Traditional web hosting would deliver 100% of your content to the user. If users are located across the world, the user must wait for the data to be retrieved from where your web server is located.
A CDN takes a majority of your static and dynamic content and serves it from across the globe, decreasing download times. Most times, the closer the CDN server is to the web visitor, the faster assets will load for them.
