EdgeSec works on the basis of Content Delivery Network (CDN) sites. To use EdgeSec, you need to purchase CDN or WSA.

Specification Limitations

A domain package allows you to add 10 domain names, including one top-level domain and nine subdomains or wildcard domains related to the top-level domain.
  • If only one top-level domain can be added to a WAF instance, you can add one top-level domain and subdomain or wildcard domain names related to the top-level domain. For example, you can add one top-level domain name example.com and a maximum of nine sub-domains or generic domains, for example, www.example.com, *.example.com, mail.example.com, user.pay.example.com, and x.y.z.example.com. Each of these domain names (including the top-level domain name example.com) is counted toward a domain name quota in the domain name package.
  • If a domain name maps to different ports, each port is considered to represent a different domain name. For example, www.example.com:8080 and www.example.com:8081 are counted towards your quota as two distinct domain names.

    Domain Expansion Package

    A domain package allows you to add 10 domain names, including one top-level domain and nine subdomains or wildcard domains related to the top-level domain.

    For example, if you are using basic edition, 10 domain names can be protected, including only one top-level domain name. If you want to protect three top-level domain names, you can purchase two domain name expansion packages to increase the quota.

    EdgeSec editions offer different domain quotas.
    • Base: A maximum of 10 domain names can be protected, including only one top-level domain name.
    • Professional: A maximum of 50 domain names can be protected, including five top-level domain names.

    • If only one top-level domain can be added to a WAF instance, you can add one top-level domain and subdomain or wildcard domain names related to the top-level domain. For example, you can add one top-level domain name example.com and a maximum of nine sub-domains or generic domains, for example, www.example.com, *.example.com, mail.example.com, user.pay.example.com, and x.y.z.example.com. Each of these domain names (including the top-level domain name example.com) is counted toward a domain name quota in the domain name package.
    • If a domain name maps to different ports, each port is considered to represent a different domain name. For example, www.example.com:8080 and www.example.com:8081 are counted towards your quota as two distinct domain names.
