Is the CDN Service Area Related to the Origin Server Location and ICP Filing?

CDN service area and origin location

  • The service area of a domain name has nothing to do with the origin location.

CDN service area and ICP filing

  • Whether a domain name needs to be licensed does not depend on the region of the domain name provider or the area where the website server is located. All that matters is the service area of your domain name. If the service area includes the Chinese mainland, the domain name must be licensed by the MIIT before being added as an acceleration domain name.
  • If your service area is outside the Chinese mainland, ICP filing is not required.
