Increase in subdomain limit for website exclusions

  • Article

We have increased the limit of subdomains allowed in a website exclusion from two to three, based on customer requests. This will allow customers who are placing exclusions for URLs based on two-part top-level domains (TLDs) such as “ .co.uk” more flexibility in determining the subdomain at which exclusion occurs. The number of allowed subdirectories remains unchanged at two.

 

For example, the following are valid URLs,

  • one.two.three.contoso.com/1/2
  • one.two.contoso.co.uk/1/2

 
The following are invalid URLs:

  • one.two.three.contoso.co.uk/1/2 (too many subdomains)
  • one.two.three.contoso.com/1/2/3 (too many subdirectories)
