Add a site

This page shows how to put a website on Yeap Cloud CDN. The Add domain wizard walks you through choosing a plan, an onboarding method and your origin settings. The last step is pointing your DNS at the CDN.

#Before you begin

• Have the domain you want to accelerate ready, for example example.com. You need to be able to edit its DNS records or its nameservers.
• Your origin server must be reachable on a public IP address or hostname and serve HTTP or HTTPS on the port you will configure.
• If you pick a paid plan, make sure you can pay for it from your account.

#Step 1: Open the wizard

1. Sign in to the console and go to CDN管理 > 域名管理 (CDN > Domains, /cdn/domains).
2. Click 添加域名 (Add domain) to open the wizard at /cdn/domains/new.

The wizard has five steps:

1. 基础信息 (Basics)
2. 套餐选择 (Plan)
3. 接入方式 (Onboarding method)
4. 源站设置 (Origin)
5. 接入指引 (DNS instructions)

#Step 2: Basics

Click 下一步 (Next).

#Step 3: Choose a plan

1. Select a plan card: Free (免费版), Starter (起步版), Pro (专业版) or Enterprise (企业版). For plan quotas, see the CDN overview.
2. For a paid plan, choose a billing cycle (计费周期).
3. Click 下一步 (Next). For paid plans the button reads 创建订单并下一步 (Create order and continue). This step creates the site and its plan subscription:
   • Free: the subscription takes effect immediately and you move to the next step.
   • Paid plans: a pending invoice is created. Click 前往支付 (Go to payment) and pay. Then return to the wizard and click 我已支付，刷新状态 (I have paid, refresh). You can continue once the subscription is active.

#Step 4: Choose an onboarding method

For managing zones and records in Yeap DNS, see the DNS docs.

#Step 5: Configure the origin

Each 主机配置 (Host configuration) block is one hostname that serves traffic:

To add more hostnames, click 添加主机配置 (Add host configuration). The number of hostnames is capped by your plan's hostnames-per-site quota. When you are done, click 提交 (Submit).

#Step 6: Update DNS

After you submit, the wizard shows 接入指引 (DNS instructions).

CNAME setup: the list shows the CNAME target for each hostname. Click 复制 (Copy) and add the record at your DNS provider. For example:

www.example.com.   CNAME   <CNAME target shown in the console>

Nameserver setup: the page lists the NS 服务器 (nameservers, use the values shown in the console) and the 已生成的CNAME记录 (generated CNAME records). Change the domain's nameservers at your registrar to the listed ones. If the DNS records could not be created automatically, the page shows the reason.

To confirm the change is live, click DNS检查 (DNS check). It queries a public resolver for the current CNAME or NS answer. How long DNS changes take depends on the old record's TTL and on your registrar. It usually ranges from a few minutes to a few hours.

#Site status

The 状态 (Status) column of the Domains list shows each site's status:

#Managing origins after onboarding

You can change hostnames and origins at any time on the site's 源站设置 (Origin) tab. Click 添加源站 (Add origin) or edit an existing entry:

Origin parameters that apply to the whole site are set on the Network (网络) tab: origin HTTP version, proxy timeout, keep-alive and maximum request body size. They apply to every hostname on the site.

By default, the Host header sent to your origin is the hostname the visitor requested. Your origin must recognize that hostname, for example through a matching virtual host in your web server. To rewrite the origin Host header or route specific paths to a different origin, use Page rules.

• Issue certificates and turn on HTTPS: SSL/TLS
• Tune caching: Cache and purge
