Manage user domains

Objects in a public container can be distributed under the guise of their (user) domain. The user domain is added at the container level.Get object through a custom domain can be accessed by clicking here.

You can add custom third-level domains and above.

You can add domains from external DNS hosts or domains delegated to the Selectel DNS hosting.

For all user domains it is necessary to add TLS (SSL) certificates.

Add a custom domain from Selectel DNS hosting⁠

You can add a domain to an existing DNS hosting domain zone that is delegated to Selectel DNS hosting, or create a new zone during the domain addition process.

Once the domain is added, a resource record for communication with the object store (CNAME record) will be automatically created, pointing to the public domain of the container. A domain can only have one CNAME record. If you already have a CNAME record, it will be applied, no duplicate record will be created.

If the automatically created CNAME record conflicts with other records, you will need to resolve the conflict yourself on your DNS hosting side.

  1. Optional: create a new domain zone in DNS hosting.
  2. Add the domain to the container.
