# Provide Origin Information

## **What is your origin address?**

Please enter the domain name or IP address of your origin site so ZGA can send user requests back to your origin site (**please note**: one accelerator can only accelerate one origin site, therefore only one domain name can be entered here; multiple IPs can be entered as long as all of them belong to the same origin site). You can also select a result from the Origin Address lookup.

***\*Domain Name (entered in the first step) and Origin Domain Name**:*\
\&#xNAN;*The domain name you entered in the first step is used for end-user access. The origin domain name is used by ZGA to send user requests back to your origin site. Please make sure the **origin domain name** you entered is different from the **domain name**. If you use a public cloud provider, you should be able to find your origin domain name or IP address in your provider's console. If you can’t find either one, please consult with your operations personnel.*

***\*Origin Address lookup***\
\&#xNAN;*In order to continue your setup, once you’ve entered the domain name for user access, the console will automatically look up the IP and domain name of the corresponding origin server.*

***\*Under what circumstances would your origin domain name not match your domain name?***

* *If you use a public cloud load balancing service (such as AWS's ELB), your origin will be delivered with a domain name*
* *Your origin site is configured with multiple IPs, and these IPs all point to the same origin domain name. When an IP encounters an issue, the origin domain name will resolve to other functioning IPs to maintain high availability*

## **Where is your origin located?**

Select the region where your origin site is located from the drop-down menu. If that region is not on the list, select the next closest region to your origin site.

*If your origin is in Mainland China and end users access your service by domain name, please ensure that you have a corresponding Chinese ICP license number.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.console.zenlayer.com/welcome/global-accelerator/get-started/create-an-accelerator/provide-origin-information.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
