Before you begin

Before you can provision your property hostname, you must set up an ICP holding entity and register a license with the Chinese government. You then add the ICP holding entity and the license to China CDN Manager. For more information on adding the holding entity and the license, see Add or edit an ICP holding entity and Add or edit an ICP number.

Next, you are ready to add or edit your property hostname to China CDN Manager.

New Chinese operational domains

In accordance with the latest Chinese DNS regulations, each domain in a CNAME chain is now required to have an ICP number assigned to it. This also includes domains that are in a CNAME chain and do not serve traffic directly. A domain without an ICP number will be flagged as not compliant and, therefore, hinder the China CDN network operability.
To meet these compliance requirements, Akamai introduced special Chinese operational domains, by adding the 88 string to the domain field of the original operational domain. Also, Value Added Telecom (VAT) licenses are secured for each of these Chinese operational domains.
Therefore, for delivery in China, Akamai recommends that you map the CNAME of your property hostname to the new *88.net Chinese operational domain that corresponds to your original edge hostname selection. For example, with an:

example.com.edgesuite.net edge hostname, change the CNAME to example.com.edgesuite88.net,
example.com.edgekey.net edge hostname, change the CNAME to example.com.edgekey88.net.
