# Adding an Origin Set

If your service content is available in multiple locations, you can create an **Origin Set** to increase availability or enable load balancing.

To add an Origin Set to your service:

1. Navigate to your service.
2. In the sidebar, under **Origin Management**, select **Origin Sets**.
3. Click the **Create** button.
4. Complete the new Origin Set form:

- **Policy Type** – Leave this option set to **Failover**.
- **Primary Host** – Enter the hostname or IP address of your primary origin server.
- **Secondary Host** – Enter the hostname or IP address of your secondary origin server.
- **Path** (Optional) – Specify the path to use when accessing the origin servers. The default path is `/`. For example, if you set the Origin path to `/a/` and an end user accesses `https://www.example.com/test.html`, the following file will be retrieved from your Origin: `/a/test.html`.
- **S3** – Select this option if your origin servers are hosted in S3-compatible storage, such as an AWS S3 bucket or Google Cloud Storage bucket.

5. Click **Save**.

Once created, the new Origin Set will appear in the list of Origin Sets. You can then navigate to the **Domains** tab to configure a [Domain Mapping](https://www.flumotion.com/docs/multiCDN/manage-domain-mappings/) for this Origin Set.

**Note:** Traffic will not be routed to the new Origin Set unless a Domain Mapping is defined for it.
