Custom domain
Bring in your own domain or subdomain to create branded links that stand out from the rest!
A custom domain allows users to use their own branded links!
Use your own branded domain for creating and sharing short URLs, enhancing brand identity and recognition in their online interactions.
What is a custom domain?
A custom domain, refers to the ability for users to use their own domain name to create and share short URLs. Instead of using the domain provided by the short URL service (e.g., fyn.li
), users can configure the service to use their own branded domain (e.g., mybrand.com
) for creating short URLs.
By using a custom domain, organizations and individuals can reinforce their brand identity and maintain consistent branding across their online presence. This can be particularly valuable for marketing campaigns, social media sharing, and link tracking, as the custom domain helps establish trust and recognition with the audience.
Configuring a custom domain typically involves setting up DNS records to point the custom domain to our service's infrastructure. Once configured, users can create short URLs using their custom domain, and we will handle the redirection from the custom domain to the original destination URL.
Can I use a domain that I own?
Yes, absolutely! At the moment, we do not support purchasing domain within our web application. You will need to purchase a domain (if you do not own already) and change the DNS settings to use your custom domain!
