    Edge Security Acceleration:Add a website

    Last Updated:Sep 19, 2024

    After you add your website to Dynamic Content Delivery Network (DCDN), DCDN accelerates the delivery of static and dynamic content for your website while offering security and edge computing capabilities to enhance security posture and user experience.

    Prerequisites

    A domain name and its origin server are available.

    Note

    • If you select Chinese Mainland or Global as the service location, make sure that your domain name has an ICP filing. If your domain name is not filed, complete ICP filing by using the Alibaba Cloud ICP Filing system.

    • If the Chinese mainland is covered in the service location, you need to complete real-name verification.

    Procedure

    1. Log on to the ESA console.

    2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Websites.

    3. Click Add Website.

    4. In the field below Domain Name, enter the domain name that you want to add to DCDN, such as example.com, and click Next.

      Parameters

      Parameter

      Description

      Location

      • Chinese Mainland: All requests are routed to the nearest POPs in the Chinese mainland. Requests from outside the Chinese mainland are routed to the DCDN POPs managed by China Telecom (East China Division).

      • Global: All requests are routed to the nearest POPs.

      • Global (Excluding the Chinese Mainland): Requests from outside the Chinese mainland are routed to the nearest POPs. Requests from the Chinese mainland are routed to the POPs in Japan, Singapore, or China (Hong Kong).

      DNS Setup

      • NS (recommended): for individual developers and small- and medium-sized enterprises. Select this option if you want DCDN to accelerate your website, such as example.com, and if you want to manage the DNS records of your website on DCDN. If you select NS, you must change the NS records of your domain to the nameservers assigned by DCDN. Then, you manage DNS records of your domain in the DCDN console.

      • CNAME: for large enterprises that use multiple proxy acceleration services at the same time. If you use different cloud services for your subdomains, such as api.example.com and img.example.com, and you want only some subdomains to be added to Alibaba Cloud DCDN, select CNAME. DCDN generates a CNAME for your website. You must add the CNAME record to the DNS settings of your domain at your DNS provider. This may entail additional maintenance in the future.

    6. In the Select Plan step, select an appropriate plan for your website on the New Plans tab, or switch to the Purchased Plans tab to associate an existing plan with your website.

      • New Plans: By default, the New Plans tab is displayed. Select a subscription duration and plan, select the check box to confirm that you have read and agree to the Dynamic Content Delivery Network Service Level Agreement, and then click Buy Now.

        Note

        If you want to enable auto-renewal for your plan, select Auto-renewal.

      • Purchased Plans: If you have purchased plans, you can switch to the Purchased Plans tab to select a plan for your website, and then click OK.

    What to do next

    1. Add a DNS record

    2. Configure an SSL/TLS certificate

    3. Verify whether a website is accelerated
