Websites

The Websites feature lets you create, manage, and publish CDN-hosted websites directly from . Every site is powered by 's global CDN, giving you fast load times worldwide with automatic SSL certificates.

You can manage everything from the dashboard — or let an AI assistant handle it using the Publisher MCP tool.

How It Works​

When you create a website in , the platform automatically:

  1. Provisions a storage zone on 's CDN to hold your files (HTML, CSS, images, etc.)
  2. Creates a CDN pull zone that serves those files from edge servers around the world
  3. Assigns a hostname like your-site.cdn.net with automatic SSL

You can then upload files, add custom domains, purge cache, and monitor traffic — all from Settings > Websites.

Getting Started​

Navigate to Settings > Websites in the sidebar.

Creating a Website​

  1. Click New Website in the top right
  2. Enter a name for your site (e.g., "Company Website")
  3. Choose a storage region closest to your primary audience:
    • NY — New York (US East)
    • LA — Los Angeles (US West)
    • UK — London (Europe)
    • DE — Frankfurt (Europe)
    • SG — Singapore (Asia)
    • And more
  4. Click Create Website

Your site is provisioned in seconds. You'll see it appear in the grid with an Active status badge and a CDN hostname.

Managing a Website​

Click any website card or its Manage button to open the detail drawer. From here you can:

  • Copy the CDN hostname — your site's default URL (e.g., your-site.cdn.net)
  • Add custom domains — point your own domain to the CDN
  • View publishing credentials — storage zone name and password for file uploads
  • See DNS instructions — CNAME records to configure at your registrar

Purging Cache​

When you update files, the CDN may serve cached versions. To force a refresh:

  1. Click Purge Cache on any website card
  2. Choose Purge everything (clears the entire cache) or Purge specific URLs
  3. Click Purge Cache

Changes propagate within minutes.

Deleting a Website​

Click the trash icon on a website card. This permanently removes:

  • The CDN pull zone
  • The storage zone and all uploaded files
  • The database record

This action cannot be undone.

Custom Domains​

You can attach your own domain (e.g., www.example.com) to any website.

Adding a Domain​

  1. Open the website's detail drawer (click Manage)
  2. Click Add next to "Custom Domains"
  3. Enter your domain (e.g., www.example.com)
  4. Click Add

You'll see DNS instructions: create a CNAME record pointing your domain to the CDN hostname.

DNS Configuration​

At your domain registrar (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.), add:

TypeNameValue
CNAMEwww (or @)your-site.cdn.net

DNS propagation typically takes 15 minutes to 48 hours. automatically provisions a free SSL certificate once DNS is verified.

Checking Status​

Click the refresh icon next to any domain to check its SSL/verification status:

  • Pending — DNS not yet propagated or SSL being provisioned
  • Active — Domain is verified and SSL is active
  • Failed — DNS not pointing to the correct target

Analytics​

The Analytics tab shows traffic data for your websites:

  • Total Requests — number of HTTP requests served
  • Bandwidth Used — total data transferred
  • Cache Hit Ratio — percentage of requests served from cache (higher is better)
  • Requests Over Time — visual chart of daily traffic

Use the site selector and period filter (7 days, 30 days, 90 days) to drill into specific data.
