Akamai Enhanced TLS Edge Hostname Domain
edgekey.net is an infrastructure domain operated by Akamai Technologies, one of the world's largest content delivery networks (CDNs). It serves as the domain suffix for Enhanced TLS edge hostnames, used for PCI-compliant HTTPS traffic delivery.
How It Works
When websites use Akamai's CDN with Enhanced TLS certificates, their traffic is routed through edge hostnames on the edgekey.net domain:
- A website like
www.example.comgets an edge hostname likewww.example.com.edgekey.net - DNS CNAME records point the customer's domain to this edge hostname
- Akamai's mapping algorithms then route requests to the optimal edge server
Akamai Edge Hostname Domains
Akamai uses different domain suffixes based on security requirements:
| Domain | Security Level | Use Case | |
|---|---|---|---|
| edgekey.net | Enhanced TLS | PCI-compliant HTTPS traffic | |
| edgesuite.net | Standard TLS | HTTP or non-PCI HTTPS traffic | |
| akamaiedge.net | Edge servers | Direct edge server addressing |
Infrastructure
- Nameservers: 17 geographically distributed servers across the
akam.netandakamai.comdomains - Global Presence: IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in US, Netherlands, and other regions
- Ranking: Tranco #89 globally, reflecting massive CDN traffic volume
- DNSSEC: Not signed at the domain level (parent .net zone is signed)
