This guide will walk you through the steps to set up a Pull Zone. Which is needed to utilize the HTTP Caching type of CDN.
-
Log in to your MaxCDN account.
-
Near the top and center of your screen, you will see the main navigation bar with an orange background. Select Zones.
-
Under the summary tab, find the Pull Zones header. Select Create Pull Zone.
-
Name your zone. Make sure that the name length totals less than ten letters, and is in all lowercase letters.
-
For the Origin Server URL, enter the root domain name that you wish to implement the CDN on.
Please note that if your site automatically redirects to
www.domain.com
, then you should add thewww
to the origin URL. -
In the Label field, you can choose to input an optional description of your zone.
-
Select the Create button and we'll provision your zone. Please note that this could take up to three minutes.
-
Once provisioning is completed, you will see a message announcing that your zone creation is successful. You can now manage your pull zone!
Remember that if you entered a custom domain, you'll be asked to create a CNAME record for it, which will point to the hostname that we generate (e.g.
myzone.yourcompanyname.netdna-cdn.com
.)
