Quick Start

The Basic Site Configuration Workflow

While site configuration can be as simple as defining a single host and a single origin (a single delivery service for a specified traffic type), a typical use case may require configuring multiple hosts and origins, rules, and paths.
A site can be fully functional with a single host and a single origin. We'll use this scenario to illustrate the configuration workflow.

To configure a site:

1. Open this URL: https://qc-services.cqloud.com/md/media-delivery-management.

2. If you are prompted to login, enter your Qwilt Cloud (QC) Services user name and password.
   If you require Qwilt Cloud credentials, please send an email to support@qwilt.com.

3. In the My Media Sites page, select Add Media Site.

4. In the Add New Media Site dialog, enter a Media Site Name and click Add Media Site.

   Note the CNAME that appears on the Media Site Configuration page, under Media Site Info. Later, you'll use the CNAME to route your website to the CDN site. (Alternatively, use HTTP routing.)

4. In the Media Site Configuration page, select Add Host.
5. In the Add Host dialog:
   • Enter the Host Domain.
   • Select the Traffic Type.
   • Optionally, enter any string in the Service ID field. This is an optional parameter you can use to tag a delivery service for your own purposes.
   • Optionally, select the origin protocol and enter the origin hostname. (Alternatively, add the mandatory host origin later.)
6. Click Add Host.
7. Configure the host origin.
8. Save the site configuration.
9. Publish the site.
10. To direct traffic from your website to the CDN site, update your domain's DNS settings with the CNAME of the Media Delivery site configuration. (Alternatively, use HTTP routing.)
