\nThis is very user-friendly for operations and maintenance.<\/p>\n IX. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) During Use<\/h3>\nQ1: Is Gcore suitable for beginners?<\/strong>
\nA: Not really suitable. The backend and documentation lean heavily toward engineering, making it better suited for users with prior CDN experience.<\/p>\nQ2: Does DDoS protection require a separate purchase?<\/strong>
\nA: Basic protection is enabled by default, but enhanced protection requires communication with the official team.<\/p>\nQ3: Does it support acceleration in mainland China?<\/strong>
\nA: Not suitable for mainland China operations; its primary strengths lie in Europe and overseas markets.<\/p>\nQ4: Does it support custom rule blocking?<\/strong>
\nA: Supported. The rules are finely granular, but the configuration overhead is slightly higher.<\/p>\nX.

Why Gcore Was Chosen for This CDN Evaluation This evaluation of Gcore wasn't simply \u201cwhose turn it was,\u201d but rather because we encountered a very real issue across multiple overseas projects: some European and Eastern European nodes exhibited poor access stability, while mainstream CDNs in this region offered pricing that didn't match their performance. Gcore's public materials emphasize its node coverage and network quality across Europe, Eastern Europe, and the CIS region\u2014precisely the motivation for this evaluation. II.
