Namecheap Custom Domain Adding
Updated this week

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.
