What’s the difference between dedicated domain and custom tracking domain?

Dedicated domain is the default domain which is granted to you by RedTrack for free once you become our client. It consists of the random combination of number(s) and letters+ RedTrack root domain. Although the root domain is the same, these letters/numbers combinations are different for all users. To find your dedicated domain go to Tools → Domains → Create new domain:

Custom tracking domain should be added as per this article. RedTrack always advises its clients to use custom tracking domain, since it is more secure and prevents your campaigns from being blocked, because such giants as Google, Facebook or Bing do not accept free tracking domains.

To make the informed decision study this pros and cons table for both types of domains:

Domain type
Pros
Cons
Dedicated domain
* Provided for free.
* You don’t need to set anything, it will work right from the start.
* Generated randomly for each user. If needed, you can customize it, nevertheless, there are a lot of restrictions and the root domain remains the same.
* Root domain is the same for all RedTrack users and is used by the majority of them. Consequently, due to the variety of advertising campaigns that RT users are running, it may be blocked by antivirus software and ad-blocking plugins.
* Does not work with Google and Facebook.
Custom tracking domain
* Looks attractive and secure for users, advertising networks, antiviruses, and ad block plugins.
* Google, Facebook, and Bing-friendly.
* You need to buy the domain first before customizing it.
* Adding a custom domain can be a bit hard in terms of settings.
