ApsaraVideo Live allows you to accelerate website content delivery by using Alibaba Cloud CDN. This topic describes the verification procedure for domain names and related limits. Before you add a domain name to ApsaraVideo Live, make sure that the domain name meets the relevant compliance requirements. This prevents losses that can be caused by noncompliance.
Verification procedure
Log on to the Alibaba Cloud International site (alibabacloud.com). Go to the account center. In the left-side navigation pane, click Account Verification. On the page that appears, complete the verification as prompted.
Apply for an Internet content provider (ICP) filing from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of China. We recommend that you use the Alibaba Cloud ICP Filing system.
Review the content on the origin server of the accelerated domain name. You can store the content in ApsaraVideo Live or an Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket. If the origin server is not deployed on Alibaba Cloud, submit a ticket. For more information, see Contact us.
Add a CNAME record for your domain name at the DNS service provider. This ensures that your domain name is mapped to the CNAME that is assigned by ApsaraVideo Live. For more information, see Add a CNAME record.
Content moderation
The site content of domain names that are added to ApsaraVideo Live must be reviewed. The accelerated domain names that cannot be added to ApsaraVideo Live include but are not limited to the following types:
Domain names that cannot be accessed or contain no valid information
Domain names that point to servers that host pirated games
Domain names of websites that provide multiplayer games and card games
Domain names of websites for unauthorized software download
Domain names of websites for peer-to-peer (P2P) lending
Domain names of unofficial lottery websites
Domain names of websites of unlicensed hospitals and pharmaceuticals
Domain names of websites that contain illicit content, such as pornography, drugs, and gambling
You are legally responsible for the content hosted on your accelerated domain name. Alibaba Cloud CDN regularly reviews content that is contained in domain names. If illicit content is detected from a domain name, Alibaba Cloud CDN immediately disables or blocks the domain name. If the violation is severe, ApsaraVideo Live may even permanently block all domain names that belong to the Alibaba Cloud account.
If you add a wildcard domain name, such as
*.aliyundoc.com, to ApsaraVideo Live and this wildcard domain name includes a specific domain name, such asdemo.aliyundoc.com, that contains illicit content, ApsaraVideo Live disables the wildcard domain name*.aliyundoc.com.If a domain name fails the review, you can check the reason for rejection on the Domain Name Management page in the ApsaraVideo Live console. Then, you can modify the content based on the rejection details and submit the domain name for review again.
