The Website data source setup consists of two main parts:

Part 1: Subdomain and DNS Mapping setup ( Prerequisite for Web data source)

Part 2: Website data source setup

Sub Domain and DNS Setup (Pre-requisite for Web data source)

Before setting up your first Web data Source Connector in Datahash, you need to complete a prerequisite step – setting up a subdomain. If you have already set up a subdomain in your project, you can skip this step.

Note that you can only set up one subdomain per project. To add a new subdomain, you will need to create a new project.

To start the subdomain setup, click on the central Datahash engine icon. There are two main steps to complete:

1. Providing Sub Domain and Domain Name: Provide a domain and sub-domain name
   

2. Set up the NS records in the Domain Manager – Datahash currently supports Cloud Flare, GoDaddy, and AWS partners for setting up the Domain Manager. The documentation is available in the platform itself on how to set up sub-domains on these 3 different partners.
   
   

• Setting up a subdomain is essential for enabling server-to-server first-party tracking across various sources and destinations.
• Once you have successfully set up your subdomain, proceed to set up your Website Source Connector
  
  Click finish to complete the setup.
