Procedure

Log on to the ESA console.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Websites.
Click Add Website.
In the Enter Website step, enter the domain name that you want to add to ESA, such as example.com, and click Next.

In the Select Location and DNS Setup step, set Location and DNS Setup based on your business requirements 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 ESA 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). 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.
DNS Setup	NS (recommended): provides a highly integrated one-stop service for developers. If you want to configure and proxy the DNS records of your website such as `example.com` on ESA, select NS. If you select NS, you must change the NS records of your domain to the nameservers assigned by ESA. Then, you manage DNS records of your domain in the ESA console. CNAME: the traditional DNS setup option for most CDN users. 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 ESA, select CNAME. ESA 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.

Note

If you want to add subdomains such as test.example.com and test.test.example.com, upgrade to the Enterprise plan.

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 Edge Security Acceleration Service Level Agreement, and then click Buy Now.
  Note
  If you want to enable auto-renewal for your plan, select Auto-renewal.
