Custom Domain is a fully-managed service that enables you to configure a first-party subdomain over HTTPS. You can then track event requests through your own domain (for example, `cdp.mydomain.com`), instead of the default (`segment.com`). Tracking events through your own domain allows for more secure and complete first-party data collection by reclaiming first-party data lost to browser controls. With a more complete view of your customer behaviors, you can build more robust profiles for greater attribution and ROAS.

### How DNS subdomain delegation works
2020
DNS subdomain delegation is a process where the control of a specific subdomain is assigned to another DNS server, allowing that server to manage the DNS records for the subdomain. This delegation is useful for distributing the management of DNS records and enables specialized handling of subdomain traffic.
