Table 1 Domain name requirements

Service Area

Requirement

Chinese mainland
  • Your HUAWEI ID has completed real-name authentication.
  • The domain name has been licensed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and the Internet Content Provider (ICP) license is still valid.
  • The domain name has passed content moderation.

Global
  • Your HUAWEI ID has completed real-name authentication.
  • The domain name has been licensed by the MIIT and the ICP license is still valid.
  • The domain name has passed content moderation.

CDN does not support the access of websites that violate related laws and regulations, including but not limited to:

  • Websites that contain pornographic content or content related to gambling, illegal drugs, frauds, or infringement
  • Gaming websites that run on illegal private servers
  • Websites that provide pirated games/software/videos
  • P2P lending websites
  • Unofficial lottery websites
  • Unlicensed hospital and pharmaceutical websites
  • Inaccessible websites or websites that do not contain any substantial information
  • If your domain name content violates related laws and regulations, you shall bear the related risks.
  • If any pornographic content or content related to gambling, illegal drugs, or frauds is found on your domain name, the domain name and other domain names that use the same origin server will be deleted from CDN and can no longer access CDN. Acceleration domain name quota of the account will be reduced to 0.
  • 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. All that matters is the service area of your domain name. If your service area is Chinese mainland or Global, your domain name must be licensed by the MIIT before being added as an acceleration domain name.
  • There is no limit on the domain name server (DNS) provider.
  • Root domain name and common domain names need to be added to the CDN console separately for acceleration.
