Enabling PairCDN

Choose the tutorial that reflects your ACC interface type: 

• Legacy Interface
• New ACC Interface

Not sure what the difference is? See Which ACC Interface Am I Using? 

If you are using the Legacy Interface:

1. Log in to the Account Control Center (ACC) at my.pair.com
2. In the left sidebar, click Add Ons
3. Click PairCDN in the drop-down
4. Enter the following information:
   

Domain	Select a domain you want to add PairCDN to.  Note: You must first add domains to your account for this option to be available.
Hostname	Choose a name to represent the CDN version of your site. Your chosen hostname is added to the beginning of your domain to create a unique URL to access the CDN version of your site.  Example: cdn.domain.com, hostname.example.com
Email	Enter your email address. We will send information to this address regarding PairCDN, such as set-up information, notices, service changes, etc.

4. Click Submit

If you are using the New ACC Interface:

1. Log in to the Account Control Center (ACC) at my.pair.com
2. In the top navigation bar, click Domains
3. Find the site you want to add PairCDN to and click its PairCDN icon
4. A popup window will appear. Click the Add PairCDN button
5. Enter the following information:

Hostname

Choose a name to represent the CDN version of your site. Your chosen hostname is added to the beginning of your domain to create a unique URL to access the CDN version of your site.  Example: cdn.domain.com, hostname.example.com

4. Click Submit

You must wait for the PairCDN set up to be complete before proceeding with activating the CDN in WordPress. Failure to do so can result in the site not loading. This process may take several hours.

Activating the PairCDN Service in WordPress

The next step is to activate the PairCDN service on your WordPress site. You can use a third-party plugin, like CDN Enabler by KeyCDN, to make the WordPress PairCDN setup simple.
