# Add a Host

A site must have at least one host. A site may have multiple hosts. The host configuration defines the host domain, the traffic type, the origin where the content is found, and rules for processing requests and serving content. Optionally, it can define access control lists (ACLs). When a site configuration includes multiple hosts, all the hosts must define the same traffic type.

## Create a New Host

To create a site host:

1. Navigate to the **My Media Sites** page and select the site.
2. On the **Media Site Configuration** tab, scroll to the **Hosts**area and select **Add Host.** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/fa039225-513b-46a1-ba78-a57a1f1cb7c6/Images/Documentation/add-host.png)
3. In the **Add Host**dialog:
  - **Host Domain**: Enter the Host Domain. For example, [*acme-sports-vod.com*](//acme-sports-vod.com)*.*
  - **Protocols**: Optionally, use the Protocols feature to customize which HTTP protocols are available to the client. - By default, HTTP/1.1 is enabled. - If an SSL certificate is associated with the site, HTTPS/1.1 is also enabled by default. - Do not enable HTTPS/1.1 unless an SSL certificate is associated with your site.
  - **Wildcard Subdomain**: Optionally, enable [Wildcard Subdomain](/v1/docs/wildcard-subdomain). ![](https://cdn.document360.io/fa039225-513b-46a1-ba78-a57a1f1cb7c6/Images/Documentation/addHostNoTrafficType.png)
4. Select **Add Host**. The host appears in the Hosts area of the Media Configuration tab.

## Edit or Delete a Host

To edit or delete a host, select the More icon ![](https://cdn.document360.io/fa039225-513b-46a1-ba78-a57a1f1cb7c6/Images/Documentation/more-icon.png) and select **Edit Host**or **Delete**.
