Welcome to Property Manager
Property Manager is a configuration tool that you use with other Akamai Technologies, Inc. products to start serving the traffic to your site or application through the Akamai edge network. In Property Manager, you determine:
- An edge hostname. This is the Akamai-generated hostname that you assign to your domain so that the users' requests are resolved to the Akamai edge network. See Key concepts and terms for a detailed explanation of how edge hostnames work.
- Traffic and security options. To help direct and protect your content.
- Business rules. These rules tell the edge network servers how to handle and distribute the content retrieved from your origin server.
