Hosting, CDN, and SSL

Understand what happens after a site is connected to its final domain.

When a site is published, the platform hosts the website and serves its public pages, assets, and media through managed infrastructure. You do not need to configure or maintain servers manually.

Hosting

The platform manages the hosting environment for the website. Once the domain points to the platform, public pages can be served from the final domain. Your responsibility is usually to configure the required DNS records with your domain provider. The platform handles the hosting infrastructure behind the site.

CDN

A CDN helps deliver website assets from a network optimized for fast loading. Images, scripts, styles, and other public assets may be served through the CDN so visitors can load the website more efficiently from different locations.

SSL and HTTPS

SSL allows the website to load securely using https://. The SSL certificate can only be validated once the domain is pointing correctly to the platform. For that reason, a site may be reachable before HTTPS is fully active. After DNS changes are made, the certificate validation process can be completed and the website will be available securely over HTTPS.

DNS propagation and cache

DNS changes do not always apply instantly. In many cases, propagation takes around one hour, but it can sometimes take up to 24-48 hours depending on the DNS provider and previous configuration. Some changes may also be affected by cache. If a recently published update does not appear immediately, wait a few minutes and refresh the page before assuming the change failed.

What the platform manages

The platform manages the hosting environment, CDN delivery, SSL certificate validation, and the infrastructure required to serve the website. You only need to coordinate the domain setup and make sure the required DNS records are configured correctly.
