How to create your first FlashEdge CDN distribution

Create a first FlashEdge distribution

After you complete the creation of your account you can create your first distribution.

We have simplified a distribution creation and many advanced settings are in the console after the distribution creation.

Complete the following procedure to create a distribution.

1. Sign in to the FlashEdge.

2. Click on “Create Distribution” on the home page, or click “+ Create new” on the left panel in the FlashEdge console.

3. Choose your origin

   • Fill in the name of your origin

   • Fill in the domain of your origin. An origin can be any service that has a publicly accessible domain name. For example (yourservice.com, app.yourservice.com, long.domain.name.com)

4. Select a caching behavior

   • You can select from two options, but a lot of additional advanced settings can be then set in the FlashEdge console.

5. Click on “Create a Distribution”

What can you do next?

You can follow the next manuals after your distribution is prepared.

1. Add a CNAME record to your DNS (Domain Name System) to begin routing traffic to your distribution. After you add the alias record, users who visit your domain are routed through your distribution. For more information, see: Configuring DNS to point to a FlashEdge distribution.

2. Create an SSL/TLS certificate for your domain to use HTTPS with your distribution. For more information, see Setting up HTTPS with a Custom Domain.
