If you want to use ApsaraVideo VOD to accelerate the delivery of content on a specific website, you must add the domain name for Content Delivery Network (CDN) that you want to accelerate and specify the website as the origin server. This topic describes how to add a domain name for CDN to ApsaraVideo VOD.
Prerequisites
- ApsaraVideo VOD is activated. For more information about how to activate ApsaraVideo VOD, see Activate ApsaraVideo VOD.
- An origin server with stable performance is deployed.
- A domain name to be accelerated is prepared. If the accelerated region is Mainland China or the globe, you must obtain an Internet Content Provider (ICP) filing for the domain name. If the domain name does not have an ICP filing, you can apply for an ICP filing by using Alibaba Cloud ICP Filing System.
Limits
- The domain name for CDN that you add to ApsaraVideo VOD must be exclusive for ApsaraVideo VOD. If a DomainAlreadyExist error is displayed, check whether the domain name is added to other cloud services such as ApsaraVideo Live, Dynamic Route for CDN, Secure CDN, or video surveillance system. You can also submit a ticket.
- You can add a maximum of 20 domain names for CDN to ApsaraVideo VOD for each Alibaba Cloud account. If the average daily peak bandwidth of your domain name is greater than 50 Mbit/s and your business is risk-free, you can submit a ticket to increase the quota.
