Q: Privacy for webmasters
Hi!
If I retire a site and wish to swap out the domain used in a project, can I reset the project id? As in, the unique identifier in the script tag?
Basically to avoid domains being linked together due to the unique identifier id footprint. Like ‘johns-hooters-enthusiasts-club.example’ and ‘janes-competitive-bird-watching-club.example’ - if owned or managed (e.g. agency) by a single entity, then webmasters may not obviously realise the relationship they are disclosing publicly - permanently also if the page gets archived.
Also the case of having multiple domains inside one project, the project id from what I’ve read seems to be what is used in the tag, rather than e.g. a unique tag per domain. So all additional domains will have a footprint linking them together, I think?
Thanks!

Jan 21, 2025A: Litlyx is evolving, and in the near future, we’ll be adding features that address your concerns. Let me break them down for you, as they might be helpful for other users as well:
Current Setup:
For projects as they stand, we recommend linking just one domain per project as the best practice. Currently, we don’t have a domain filter, but we’re wotking on this feature right now.
If you want to reset the project_id now, you can remove unwanted domains from your project via the dashboard:
Go to Settings > Data.
Select the DNS you want to remove and delete it.
Remove the script tag from your website.
After this, you can add the script tag to another website or create an entirely new project with a new project_id.
Managing Multiple DNS:
For multiple DNS entries using the same script with the same project_id, they currently share the same dashboard. However, we’re introducing new functionality that will allow you to filter and distinguish domains within the same project. This will transform "projects" into something more similar to an "organization" or "workspace".
We hope these updates will improve your experience and address your needs and concerns about Litlyx.
Feel free to reach us on Discord. We are always there to help.
Best regards,
Antonio
Misty60110Thank you very much for your detailed quick response :)
Just to clarify, in the context of this LTD currently. Say I have one LTD workspace, I’d be able to reset the project id after removing all domains by creating a new project (within the same LTD plan)?
Or that would require a new plan? Leaving the previous plan/project with a stuck with the same id?
That would require a new plan, as creating a project with a unique ID makes resetting it problematic due to the extensive data tied to that ID in the database. Hope this helps!
