You can use a dedicated test domain or a custom domain as a tracking domain. A custom domain allows you to track traffic independently of other users, while a test domain is used by everyone and can be banned at any time.
There are two ways to add a domain to the tracker: standard (manual) or via integration.
There are a large number of services for buying your own domain. Each of them performs approximately the same setup steps.
Setting a custom domain on the provider side
Go to the custom domain provider and complete the following steps:
1. Buy your own domain, for example, example.com .
2. Create a subdomain for the primary domain, for example, track.example.com .
3. For the created subdomain, configure the CNAME record; specify the CNAME record as redirect.topeerclick.com .
Cname record must be unproxied.
If your hosting allows you to specify a CNAME for the primary domain, you do not have to create a subdomain. Specify CNAME as redirect.topeerclick.com .
4. (If available) Set a minimum lifetime (TTL) for the CNAME record - this will help the DNS settings propagate faster.
Setting a custom domain in PeerClick

2. Go to the Domains section.
3. Click the Add domain button. The settings window will appear:
4. Go to settings.
5. n the window that opens, specify your custom domain in the format subdomain.domain.com if the Cname is specified for the subdomain, or in the format domain.com if the Cname is specified for the domain.
6. Select index type:
By selecting Default in the settings and going to the domain address, you will see the message The domain is successfully added.
By selecting 404 Page Not Found in the settings and going to the domain address, you will see the corresponding error on the page.
By selecting Redirect to campaign, specifying the corresponding campaign in the field that appears and going to the domain address, you will be taken to the specified campaign.
These settings are used to redirect random traffic to your domain address.
7. Save the changes.
The new domain record with the subdomain will appear in the tracker's list of domains.
