:What do I do if the ICP filing of a domain name expires?

Problem description

ApsaraVideo VOD must comply with the laws and regulations of the Chinese mainland. These regulations prohibit providing acceleration services to domain names that do not have a valid ICP filing. If your acceleration region is set to Chinese Mainland (ICP Filing Required) or Global (ICP Filing Required) and the ICP filing for the domain name expires, ApsaraVideo VOD is required by law to suspend its acceleration service.

Solutions

• Method 1: Modify the acceleration region of the domain name.

  To accelerate resources only outside the Chinese mainland, you can change the acceleration region for your domain name to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Other Regions (ICP Filing Not Required). This region does not use nodes in the Chinese mainland and does not provide acceleration services for the Chinese mainland. Pricing varies by acceleration region. For more information, see ApsaraVideo VOD Pricing.

  1. Log on to the ApsaraVideo VOD console.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, click Configuration Management.

  3. Click CDN Configuration > Domain Names.

  4. In the Actions column, click Configure.

  5. Click Modify.

  6. Set Acceleration Region to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Other Regions (ICP Filing Not Required).

  7. Click OK.

• Solution 2: Resolve the domain name to the origin server before the domain name obtains a valid ICP number.

  In this example, a domain name whose registrar is Alibaba Cloud is used to demonstrate how to resolve a domain name to the origin server. If your domain name uses other registrars, you must complete the settings in the system of the registrar. The procedure is similar to the one described in this example.

  1. Log on to the Alibaba Cloud DNS console.
  2. On the Manage DNS page, find the domain name that you want to manage and click Configure in the Actions column.
  3. Click Add Record. Change the CNAME record to an A record.

     Parameter	Description	Example
     Type	A is selected in this example.	A
     Host	Enter the prefix of the domain name.	If the domain name to be accelerated is www.aliyun.com, enter www. If the domain name to be accelerated is aliyun.com, enter @. If the domain name to be accelerated is *.aliyun.com, enter *.
     ISP Line	Enter the default Internet service provider (ISP) line.	Keep the default setting.
     Value	Enter the IPv4 address or the domain name of the origin server.	10.10.10.10
