How WAF counts protected domain names:

  • The number of domain names is the total number of top-level domain names (for example, example.com), single domain names/second-level domains (for example, www.example.com), and wildcard domain names (for example, *.example.com).
  • Each combination of a domain name and a port is counted towards the domain name quota of the WAF edition you are using. For example, www.example.com:8080 and www.example.com:8081 are counted towards your quota as two distinct domain names.
  • You can upload as many certificates in WAF as the number of domain names your WAF instances can protect within the same account. For example, if you buy a standard edition WAF instance, which can protect 10 domain names, a dedicated WAF instance, which can protect 2,000 domain names, and a domain name expansion package (20 domain names), your WAF instances can protect a total of 2,030 domain names (2,000 + 20 +10). In this case, you can upload 2,030 certificates.
