Integrating Your Website with Medianova in 3 Steps!

Last updated 2 months ago

Was this helpful?

Integrating Medianova with your website is a seamless process that enhances your site's speed, security, and reliability.

By following this step-by-step guide, you will ensure that your content is delivered to users faster and more efficiently, reducing latency, bandwidth consumption, and load times. A properly configured CDN not only improves website performance but also enhances security by mitigating DDoS attacks, securing data transfers with SSL/TLS encryption, and optimizing global reach through an extensive network of edge servers.

Whether you're running an e-commerce store, a blog, a media platform, or an enterprise application, Medianova provides cutting-edge acceleration technology to deliver an optimal user experience.

Step 1: Website Verification

Before integrating your website with Medianova, we need to verify your domain.

How to Verify Your Domain?

  1. Enter your domain name (e.g., example.com).

  2. We’ll check your DNS configuration to confirm that the domain is active and accessible.

  3. If another CDN service is detected, you will be asked to enter your real origin server IP address instead of a CDN-protected IP.

    • You can find your origin IP from your hosting control panel or by checking the A record in your DNS settings.

❗ Important: Do not enter a CDN IP; only provide your actual server’s IP address.


Step 2: SSL Configuration

To secure your website’s connection, you need to set up SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). Medianova provides two options:

  • Private Key SSL (Recommended): Upload your existing SSL certificate and private key.

  • Free SSL Certificate: Automatically install a 90-day Let's Encrypt SSL certificate.

How to Configure SSL?

If you already have an SSL certificate, enter your private key and certificate details to maintain your current SSL setup.

If you choose the free SSL option, you will need to add a TXT record to your DNS provider for Let’s Encrypt validation.

❗ Note: Automatic renewal occurs every 60 days with zero downtime.


Step 3: CNAME Configuration

To complete the Medianova integration, you need to update your CNAME record.

How to Configure CNAME?

  1. Go to your DNS provider’s settings.

  2. Add the following CNAME record:

    • Host/Name: yourdomain.com

    • Points To: examplevalue.sm.mncdn.org

    • TTL: 3600 (or a lower value for faster propagation).

  3. Wait for DNS changes to propagate globally.

  4. Click "Verify DNS Record" to confirm the setup.


Congratulations! 🎉

Your website is now fully integrated with Medianova, meaning your content is being delivered at lightning-fast speeds while benefiting from enhanced security, reduced latency, and optimized global performance.

With Medianova, your visitors will experience faster load times, seamless browsing, and improved reliability, no matter where they are in the world. Your site is now protected against DDoS attacks, benefits from intelligent caching strategies, and operates efficiently through a vast network of edge servers.
