In short: choose Bulk Buy Hosting for 5 to 125 sites on real shared hosting accounts, each with full cPanel or DirectAdmin and real mailboxes, from $19/month. Choose LaunchCDN for cheaper CDN-fronted hosting from 10 to 1,000+ sites, down to $1.70 per site. A number of customers use both to mix IP types across their PBN.
Bulk Buy Hosting and LaunchCDN are complementary services from the same team. Both host private blog networks with no shared footprint, but they get there in different ways, so the right one depends on how big your network is and how you like to work. A number of customers use both.
Bulk Buy Hosting places every site on its own cPanel or DirectAdmin account at a different popular shared hosting company, so each site looks like one more ordinary customer of that host. LaunchCDN runs every site behind a major CDN (Amazon CloudFront, Cloudflare or Bunny.net), so the IP anyone sees belongs to the CDN, shared with huge numbers of real businesses.

Choose Bulk Buy Hosting If…
- You want every site to be a real shared hosting account. Each one sits on a different server at a different popular host, under that host’s own name servers, sharing its IP with 250–1,500+ genuine customer websites.
- You want a full control panel per site. Every site gets its own cPanel or DirectAdmin login, with one-click installers, a PHP version selector and the panel’s own API for your scripts or agent.
- You need real mailboxes. Create email accounts on each domain straight from its panel, without a separate email provider.
- Your network is 5 to 125 sites. That’s the range our plans cover, from $19/month for 5 domains.
Choose LaunchCDN If…
- You’re running more than 125 sites. LaunchCDN plans run from 10 to 1,000+ domains.
- Price per site matters most. LaunchCDN is cheaper at every size, coming down to $1.70 per site on its largest plans.
- You want sites hidden behind a major CDN. Visitors and crawlers only ever see CloudFront, Cloudflare or Bunny.net IPs.
- You want more done for you. WordPress is pre-installed with one-click login, backups run automatically for 21 days, and backlink checkers are blocked by default.
Better Together: Use Both
A number of our customers use both services to ensure a diverse mix of IPs for their PBN. Some sites sit on shared-hosting IPs through Bulk Buy Hosting, owned by more than 10 different hosting companies; the rest sit on CDN IPs through LaunchCDN, owned by Amazon CloudFront, Cloudflare and Bunny.net.
The two services run on completely separate infrastructure: different hosting companies and CDNs, 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: shared-host IPs and CDN IPs in the same network.
- Two sets of name servers: each host’s own, and the CDN providers’.
- Easy to start: both begin with a $10 trial, and either team will migrate sites across for free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Bulk Buy Hosting and LaunchCDN 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. Bulk Buy Hosting costs a little more because every site is a separate account at a third-party shared host.
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 from Bulk Buy Hosting to LaunchCDN, or the other way?
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. See our GEO page.
Do both have an API?
Yes, free on every plan. The Bulk Buy Hosting API deploys domains and returns each site’s server, IP and cPanel or DirectAdmin login. LaunchCDN’s REST API deploys domains, lists your sites and generates WordPress login links.
