Custom Domains

MaxConv will assign an unique domain to you as default domain to let you get started quickly.

However, default domain is used by all MaxConv users, you will share the risk of being flagged when using default domain, We highly recommend adding a custom domain to generate tracking links.

There are two custom domain types in MaxConv:

• Tracking Link domain is used in rotator links, campaign links and any other links that appear in browser address bar, it's usually used in redirection link.

• Tracking Script domain is used to host universal track script, this type of domain is embedded in web page and won't appear in browser address bar.

Global Anycast IP address

MaxConv tracking system use single one global anycast IP address as traffic entrypoint, one IP address does not mean that our servers only locate on single one region, when a user visits a global IP address, it is automatically resolved to the nearest data center in over 80 distinct locations worldwide, this is achieved via anycast technology, which allows a single IP address to have multiple routing paths.

This technology brings following benifits:

• Faster speed, visitors always goes to nearest datacenter relative to that user, A record resolving is also faster than CNAME record.

• Less "fingerprint", CNAME record basically saying "hey, I'm using their service", while A record doesn't say much.

FAQ

1.Can I use Cloudflare to proxy MaxConv service?

In short, yes.

MaxConv is compatible with Cloudflare, our service will restore original visitor's IP.

However, if you turn on the proxy status in Cloudflare, that means visitors will access like visitors > Cloudflare proxy node > MaxConv global servers, as you can see, there is an extra layer between visitors and MaxConv global servers, which may slow down the speed a little bit.

Turning on the proxy status does have an advantage - your domain's IP will become Cloudflare's IP.

So it all depends on your needs.

2. Can I use same custom domain name to host universal tracking script on all landing pages?

Yes you can, the universal tracking script domain name can be different from landing page domain, rotator domain or s2s postback domain.
