Activate CDN for a Website

• Select the target website from the drop-down at top-left

• Click 'CDN' > 'Settings' > 'Activation'

You need to change your site's authoritative DNS server to Comodo DNS in order to activate the CDN. Alternatively, you can add a CNAME entry to your DNS records.

See the following links for more help:

• Register your site with Comodo DNS

Activate the CDN:

• Option A - Change your authoritative DNS to Comodo DNS

• Option B - Add a CNAME to your DNS

Register your site with Comodo DNS

• Select the target website from the menu at top-left

• Click the 'CDN' tab

• Click 'Settings'

• Click the 'Activation' tab

cWatch automatically registers your site with the CDN service:

Next, use one of these two methods to configure your site to use our DNS:

• Change your authoritative DNS to Comodo DNS

• Add a CNAME to your DNS

Note - You should also configure SSL settings in cWatch to avoid interruptions to HTTPS traffic. See SSL Configuration for more on this.

Option A - Change your authoritative DNS to Comodo DNS

• Click CDN > Settings > Activation

• Comodo name servers are shown in the ‘value’ column:

• Go to your site's DNS management page and enter the new name servers

• See https://support.google.com/domains/answer/3290309?hl=en if you need more help with name server changes

• It may take up to 24 hours for the update to propagate. The status column will say ‘Name servers are set’ once the change is live:

 

• After changing to Comodo DNS, you need to use cWatch to manage your DNS settings going forward

• For example, changes to your MX records must be done in cWatch, not in your web host's DNS management page

• You can access the management page as follows:

• Select a website from the drop-down at top-left

• Click the ‘DNS’ tab to manage the site’s DNS records

• See 'Manage DNS Records' if you want further help with this

Option B - Add a CNAME to your DNS

• Click 'CDN' > 'Settings' > 'Activation'

• The CNAME and A records for your site are shown in section B:

• Go to your website's DNS management page and enter the 'CNAME' and 'A' records

• See https://support.google.com/a/topic/1615038?hl=en if you need more help to add records

• DNS propagation may take around 30 minutes depending on your hosting provider

• The status column will say ‘Configured’ once the change is live:
