How do I deploy my first-party tracking in A-Record ?

Step 1

CHOICE OF SUB-DOMAIN :

  • This first step involves defining the name of the sub-domain that will be delegated.

  • The process is quite simple: on the Administration / Domain management interface, click on 'Add a sub-domain' to add a domain name to be delegated.

DON'T KNOW WHICH SUB-DOMAIN NAME TO CHOOSE?

  • We recommend that you choose a neutral sub-domain name.

  • The idea here is to avoid using an explicit sub-domain name such as tracking.%domain%.com, which could be detected by adblockers.

Step 2

SELECT RECORD A AND CHOOSE HOW TO SUPPLY THE CERTIFICATE :

  • Use the Let's Encrypt certificate:

    • With this method, the certificate will be automatically generated.

    • Follow the steps in the interface, no action is required on your part.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO USE YOUR OWN CERTIFICATE?

  • This method requires the following elements to be supplied:

    • The SSL certificate(s) linked to the sub-domain(s) entered above

    • The certificate key

    • The certificate chain

Step 4
