The request for allowing our community to use custom domains has been at the top of our Suggestions page for quite some time! As the Lnk.Bio infrastructure is optimised to withstand tens of millions of visitors per month, it was technically complex to allow external custom domain into our infrastructure. But we are now ready to unveil the public beta for custom domains, open for all our existing users.
To connect your custom domain to Lnk.Bio, just head over to the main menu on the top-right corner, then select Custom Domain.
There are a few notes and information that you should read carefully before proceeding, in particular:
- You must already own your own domain and be able to change its DNS settings
- A subdomain (e.g. links.yourdomain.com) is preferred as not all DNS providers allow certain configuration for the root domain
- It takes 2-3 days for us to setup a new domain after receiving the payment
- The cost is $39.99/year on top of any subscription you currently have (if any)
The steps to activate the domain from your side are pretty straightforward:
- Add your custom domain (e.g. links.yourdomain.com)
- Pay the annual fee (either PayPal or Credit/Debit Card)
- Add the DNS configuration to your domain
If you have any feedback or questions, always feel free to reach out via the support chat and we'll be happy to help!
Happy domains to everyone!
