Edge Security Acceleration:Activate DCDN

Last Updated:Jun 26, 2023

You need to activate Dynamic Content Delivery Network (DCDN) before you can use it. This topic describes how to activate DCDN.

Prerequisites

An Alibaba Cloud account is created. To create an Alibaba Cloud account, go to the Sign up to Alibaba Cloud page.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Alibaba Cloud DCDN page.

  2. Click Buy Now, and select a metering method.

    For more information about the pricing of DCDN, go to the Pricing page.

  3. Click Buy Now.

  4. On the Confirm Order page, select Terms of Service, and click Activate Now.

  5. Complete the payment to activate DCDN.

    After you activate DCDN, you can click Alibaba Cloud Management Console to go to the DCDN console.

What to do next

Add a domain name

Deactivate or stop the billing of DCDN

If you directly deactivate DCDN, your business may be interrupted. Therefore, Alibaba Cloud does not allow you to deactivate DCDN in the console. However, if you do not add domain names to DCDN or use features such as edge security and EdgeRoutine, you are not charged for DCDN. This is equivalent to deactivating DCDN.
