Creating New Domain
Publisher: Psychz Networks, November 28,2017Once your account is activated after you opt for the CDN services, you will be provided access to the CDN device which you can manage from the dashboard. It makes the process of accessing and managing domains convenient as you just have to access your CDN device to manage all your domains. Also, if you are a reseller, you can easily create a CDN service for each of your clients and allow specific domains to be created on that device only.
- Step 1. Login to the Dashboard
- Step 2. Goto Tools menu
- Step 3. Adding a Domain
- Step 4. Select a Device
- Step 5. Adding Domain name
- Step 6. Update DNS
In the following article, we will learn how to create a new domain on your CDN device in 3 simple steps.
Step 1
Login to your dashboard using the username and password given to you. You can go to the login page using the following link https://www.psychz.net/dashboard/client/web/cdn/
Step 2
Click on "Tools" on the left-hand side menu bar to expand it, followed by clicking on "Domains" as shown in the screenshot below. This will take you to the page where you can see all added domains, you can also add new domains, and manage them.
Step 3.
To create a new domain, please click on the "ADD" button on the top right corner of the screen.
Alternatively, you can also create a new domain by clicking on the "CDN" button on the left-hand side under "Tools". This will take you to the CDN page where you can add a new domain as well as manage domains and other options.
Step 4
Select Device - Please select a device you wish to add a domain to. Once you have selected the device, click on the "Next" button.
Note: The device can have multiple domains.
Step 5
Add Domain - Please input the domain name. You can do this by adding an existing one from the drop down. Or you also have a choice to add a new one from the "Add New" button as shown in the screenshot below.
Add port number and the IP address of your website. Once done, click on "Next" to proceed further.
Note: Once you add the domain name the system will automatically pick up the IP address of it. However, you can choose to edit this anytime.
Step 6
Update DNS - You will now need to set up a CNAME record for the main domain, parked domain and subdomain. The system will generate CNAME which needs to be updated in your domain records. You simply need to login to your domain provider portal and update the details. Once you have updated the DNS, please click on the "Finish" button to save the domain.
You are now all set with the CDN services. Please note that the DNS takes 1-24 hours to propagate globally. Until it's done you will see the status as pending.
There are many more things you can do once your service is active like manage the performance, access logs, improve security, manage traffic, and much more. Check out our other CDN related articles for more information.
