Use Alibaba Cloud OSS

If you store your website's static files in Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS) and use a custom domain to access them, you must complete the ICP filing for both your website domain and the custom domain. This topic describes the ICP filing requirements for this scenario.

Note To learn about and activate OSS, go to the OSS product page.

The following sections describe the ICP filing requirements for your website domain and the custom domain attached to OSS.

• When to apply for an ICP filing for a domain name

  Domain name	Application Scenario	ICP filing required
  Website domain name	The domain name is used to access a website and resolves to a server in the Chinese mainland.	Yes
  Custom domain name attached to OSS	The website stores static files on OSS. A custom domain is attached to OSS to let the website access these files.	Yes Note If your primary domain name, such as example.com, already has an ICP filing, its subdomains do not require a separate filing. Use a subdomain, such as img.example.com, as the custom domain for OSS.

• When to add Alibaba Cloud to your ICP filing
  • If your origin server is on Alibaba Cloud: Complete the ICP filing for your website domain with Alibaba Cloud. If the custom domain for OSS is a subdomain of your website domain, you do not need to apply for a separate ICP filing or add Alibaba Cloud to the filing information.
  • If your origin server is not on Alibaba Cloud: Apply for an ICP filing with your origin server's provider. You are not required to add Alibaba Cloud to your ICP filing information. For more information, see Add Alibaba Cloud to an ICP filing.
