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:
