cWatch: How to add your website

This article provides you with steps to add your website domain to cWatch

• You need to add websites to cWatch to enable protection and to use the content delivery network (CDN).
• The number of sites you can add depends on your license. See Purchase a License for details about license types.
• Once added, you can configure threat monitoring and CDN settings for each site.

Add a new domain

• Login to cWatch at https://login.cwatch.comodo.com/login with your username and password.

The dashboard shows all protected websites as a tile. Each tile provides an at-a-glance summary of any problems on the site.

• Click the ‘Add New Site’ tile, or the ‘Add Site’ button at the top-right.

The ‘Add Websites’ wizard starts:

The wizard has three steps:

• Step 1 – Register your website
• Step 2 – Select License
• Step 3 – Site Provisioning in Progress

Step 1 – Register your website

• Enter the domain name of the website you want to register. Do not include ‘www’ at the start.

Step 2 – Select License

Next, choose the type of license you want to activate on the site.

• The overview page lets you configure malware and vulnerability scans, firewall rules, CDN settings, and more
• This is covered in more detail in the Website Overview section.

Important Note: cWatch generates a CNAME DNS record for the website you just enrolled You need to add this record to the DNS entry for your domain to route site traffic through the CDN To view the CNAME record: Select a website in the drop-down at top-left of the dashboard Select the ‘DNS’ tab (or click the hamburger button and select ‘DNS’) The CNAME DNS record is shown under ‘DNS’ Your web host may be able to help you add the CNAME. Guidance is also available at https://support.google.com/a/topic/1615038?hl=en. Tip: You can skip this step for now and add the CNAME to DNS later. See DNS Configuration for help with this.

• Repeat the process to add more websites.

Remove Websites

You can remove any site that you no longer want to protect with cWatch.

• Select the website from the drop-down at the top-left of the dashboard
• Click the ‘Overview’ tab (or click the hamburger button and select ”Overview’)
• Click ‘Remove Site’ at the bottom-left of the interface:

A warning message is shown.

• Enter the domain name of the site you want to delete then click ‘Remove Site’.

Note: Removing a website will delete all its data from cWatch. The site’s traffic will no longer be routed through the CDN You should manually revert the name servers in the site’s DNS settings to their default servers The site license will become available for use on a different website
