Create a CDN Resource

A CDN resource is a set of settings that determine how content is delivered from the origin to CDN servers and sent from CDN servers to end users.

You can specify the following as the content origin:

  • your own origin using your website's domain or IP address;
  • or an S3 bucket.

You can also duplicate an already created resource.

  1. Ensure that you have topped up your balance by 550 ₽.

  2. In the control panel, on the top menu, click Products and select CDN.

  3. Click Create resource.

  4. Select content delivery optimization type. You can change the optimization type after creating the CDN resource.

    • Static — suitable for delivering small files: images, video and audio files, text formats;
    • or Large files — suitable for delivering large files without loss of quality, such as video. Files are cached and delivered in parts (slices) using HTTP Range requests. By default, the slice size is 16 MB, you can change the slice size after creating the CDN resource.

  5. In the Address field, specify your website domain or IP address.

  6. Click Create. When creating a CDN resource, a default domain is generated automatically. Files delivered by the CDN server will open via a link like *.selcdn.net. You can keep the default domain or connect a custom domain.
