Overview
In Makers, domain name management is a crucial step to ensure your website can be smoothly accessed by users. Makers provides multiple domain types, including the project domain, deployment domain, and custom domain. By default, a subdomain based on the Makers platform is assigned to your project, enabling you to quickly access and share it.
If you want to create a more personalized access address for your website, you can add a custom domain. Through simple configuration, you can associate your own domain with a Makers project, making your website more consistent in brand image.
Project Domain Name
After you create a project in Makers and successfully deploy it, the platform will assign a fixed project domain to you. Each time a new deployment is triggered, you can always access the latest website content via the project domain.
Deployment Domain
Each time you create a new deployment, the platform will allocate a domain name targeting that deployment. The deployment domain inherits ALL features of the project domain name and retains the content of that deployment. You can access different deployment domains at any time to view different versions.
Note:
To ensure content compliance, the following rules must be followed when Makers sites are accessed via project domain and deployment domain:
1. Set the project acceleration locale to "Chinese mainland availability zone" or "global availability zone (including Chinese mainland)":
1.1 You must use the system-generated preview URL to access it. The link validity period is 3 hr. A 401 error will return after timeout.
1.2 You can periodically update valid links via the "preview" button in the upper right corner of the "project overview" interface in the Console.
2. Set the project acceleration region to "global availability zone (excluding Chinese mainland)":
2.1 Non-Chinese mainland network environment has direct access. Chinese mainland network environment will return 401 error.
It is advisable to bind a custom domain to create a stable access channel. No ICP Filing Registration is required in global availability zones (excluding Chinese mainland).
Acceleration Region
Acceleration region is mainly used to allocate node resources for the current project. The difference between acceleration regions and domain name registration requirements are as follows:
Acceleration Region | Description |
Chinese mainland availability zone | When you select the Chinese mainland AZ as the acceleration region, Makers will allocate nodes from the Chinese mainland AZ to provide acceleration services for the domains under your site. When selecting this region for acceleration, adding a custom domain requires registration with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. If the domain is not filed, refer to filing process to complete domain name registration. |
global availability zone | When you select the global AZ as the acceleration region, Makers will allocate nodes from the global AZ to provide acceleration services for the domains under your site. When selecting this region for acceleration, adding a custom domain requires registration with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. If the domain is not filed, refer to filing process to complete domain name registration. |
global availability zone (exclude Chinese mainland) | When you select the global AZ (excluding Chinese mainland) as the acceleration region, Makers will allocate nodes from other AZs (excluding Chinese mainland AZ) to provide acceleration services for the domains under your site. When selecting regional acceleration, adding a custom domain is not required to be registered with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. |
