- Help Center
- March 1, 2020
Step 1
You should enter the admin panel of Leaseweb by using URL: https://portal.cdn.leaseweb.com/#/login
Step 2
Go to Configuration, Origins, choose Simple Origin to set your first origin.
Step 3
Press “Add Origin” and input the description and the host (your website URL). Save the Origin
Step 4
Choose Distribution Groups and choose Single-CDN.
Step 5
Press Add to add the distribution group. Enter at least one delivery domain and save the distribution group.
Step 6
After the distribution group is saved you should enter at least one caching policy.
Step 7
Set the path as “/”, input the pull origin (choose it from the list) and save the changes. If you need any additional policies you may set them as well.
Step 8
CDN setup is finished and now you can use CDN service URLs. You should take CNAME Target from the 5th Step and you can use the URLs like di-usaocjf0.sv.lswcdn.net/background.jpg
If you want to use CNAME you will have to go to your domain registration admin panel and make a record for CNAME. You should point the chosen CNAME (for example cdn.yourdomain.com) to target CNAME (di-usaocjf0.sv.lswcdn.net). After DNS propagation you will be able to use URLs like cdn.yourdomain.com/background.jpg
Keep in mind that if you use HTTPS connection you will have to upload a certificate issued for the CNAME you chose.
Step 9
Update the URLs of your website using new CDN URLs and it’s done.
