Fast start

Go live in four steps.

1. Create a property​

In the panel, click Create property and enter a name (lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, min. 3 characters).

Your property automatically gets a system hostname:

your-name.prdrm.net

2. Add your origin​

Enter your origin — the server Paradarum pulls content from, e.g. origin.example.com.

You can change it later under General → Origin server, and override the upstream Host header if your backend needs it.

Default cache: 300 seconds

A new cache rule uses a 300-second (5-minute) TTL by default. Tune it per path, or set a TTL of 0 to never cache a path.

3. Point your domain (DNS)​

At your DNS provider, create a CNAME record pointing your domain to your property hostname:

www.example.com   CNAME   your-name.prdrm.net
Set DNS first

Create the CNAME before adding the hostname in the panel. The SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt) is only issued once your domain resolves to the CDN — doing DNS first avoids certificate errors.

4. Add the hostname​

Go to Hostnames → Add and enter your domain (e.g. www.example.com). Once DNS has propagated, Paradarum validates it and issues SSL automatically. If it's still pending, wait a few minutes and click Retry.

Done — your site is now served through Paradarum.

Using a CMS?​

WordPress
