  8. To create CDN with HTTPS, select With SSL (advanced) option from the SSL Mode dropdown box.

    Note: you just need to enter CDN hostname without any . (dot) and without top-level domain (i.e., com, net, edu, etc.).
    E.g., If your domain name is: domain.com, your CDN Hostname would be: cdndomain

    Once you create the above, your CDN host will look like cdndomain.r.worldssl.net. For HTTPS CDN, our CDN provider appends their domain so that we can serve your content over HTTPS.

  9. Check the Edge Group option.

    Select Edge Groups

  10. Click on Create CDN Resource to create a CDN resource.

    Create CDN Resource

    Now, your CDN resources are created. Add a CNAME record for the CDN hostname, which can be used to view the contents.

  11. To get a CNAME record, click on the Details button as mentioned in the following image:

    View CDN Details

  12. From DNS Settings, you can get your CNAME record.

  13. Make the necessary entry from your hosting control panel/DNS provider.

    Note: Once you create CNAME, kindly allow a few hours to propagate the CNAME record.
