1. Enter domain details:

- You can **exclude up to 100 domains**.
- Only enter domain names like "example.com" or subdomains like "sub.example.com".
- To exclude all subdomains of a particular domain, use a wildcard, e.g., "*.example.com".

#### Example

To exclude "domain.com" and all its subdomains:

**Correct** entry: "*.domain.com" **Incorrect** entry: "http://www.domain.com"
