Add a website when you connect a root domain to Edge Security Acceleration (ESA) for the first time, or migrate from a traditional Content Delivery Network (CDN) or other acceleration services to ESA. This feature connects the root domain and all its subdomains at once. Website management provides centralized management and simplifies batch configurations for DNS, cache policies, and security rules.
Add a site
You can use the Add Website feature to connect a site to ESA. This enables edge security and acceleration services.
View site details
You can view details about a site, such as its connection type, region, and traffic data.
In the ESA console, select Websites.
The Websites page displays the site name, connection type, region, and other information.
In the Website column, click a site name. The Overview page opens. On this page, you can view the data overview, ESA response traffic, client request traffic, and other details for the site.
Delete a site
Before you delete a site, make sure that your online services are migrated from ESA. When you delete a site, its configuration is permanently removed, but the monitoring data is retained. You can add the site again later and view its historical traffic data.
In the ESA console, select Websites.
On the Websites page, find the site you want to delete. In the Actions column, click Delete.
Read the information in the prompt, manually enter the site name, and then click OK.
Disable a site
New sites are Active by default. If you disable a site, all DNS queries for it are denied, and ESA points of presence (POPs) will block all requests to the site. If you do not need a site to be active, you can manually disable it.
Alibaba Cloud automatically disables the service for your site because of overdue payments, an expired plan, or policy violations. After you resolve the issue, you can enable the site to resume service.
In the ESA console, select Websites.
On the Websites page, find the site you want to disable. In the Actions column, click Disable, and then click OK.
The site's status changes to Suspended. To resume service, click Enable. After you enable the site, its DNS and proxy acceleration services will resume.
