Branded short links on your own domain

A branded short link uses your own domain instead of a generic shortener's. Instead of linkly.link/abc123, your links look like yourbrand.com/promo — or link.yourbrand.com/launch if you prefer a subdomain. Branded short links can increase click-through rates because they look like your link, not someone else's link. Linkly lets you connect any domain you own — apex or subdomain — in a few minutes. Free plan included.

How custom domains work

Setup takes 5–15 minutes:

1
yourbrand.com

Choose your domain

A domain you own, like yourbrand.com, or a dedicated short domain like yrb.nd.

2
CNAMElink
domains.linklyhq.com

Add a DNS record

Point your domain (or a subdomain) at Linkly via CNAME or A record. We give you the exact value.

3
SSL · auto-renewing

Verify

Linkly checks DNS propagation and provisions an SSL certificate automatically (Let's Encrypt & Cloudflare). Free, auto-renewing.

4
yourbrand.com/promo

Start shortening

Every link you create on that domain shows your brand.

yourbrand.comyrb.ndlink.yourbrand.com

Multiple domains

Connect multiple domains per workspace on Pro and above (Free and Starter include one) — useful for agencies, multi-brand companies, or per-campaign domains.

Three teams that brand every link

Marketers

Put branded links in every paid ad. Branded links can lift click-through rate versus generic short links — same campaign, same creative, more clicks.

SaaS companies

Share branded links in product emails so links survive corporate email filters that block bit.ly and tinyurl.com by default.

Publishers

Use a short branded domain (4–6 characters) for social and SMS, so URLs fit Twitter character counts and SMS previews without truncation.

Frequently asked questions about custom URL shorteners

Links continue to redirect as long as your DNS points to Linkly. If you cancel and remove the DNS record, existing links stop working — the same as any hosted shortener. We recommend exporting your link data before cancelling; you keep full ownership of your domain.

Not necessarily. You can use a subdomain of any domain you already own (e.g. link.yourbrand.com). For a shorter URL, many companies register a short ccTLD specifically for branding — Linkly works with both.

Usually 5–15 minutes. Add a DNS record at your registrar, wait for propagation, and Linkly auto-provisions an SSL certificate.

Yes. SSL certificates are provisioned automatically via Let's Encrypt and Cloudflare, and renew themselves. There's no manual certificate management.

Yes, on Pro and above. Pro connects up to three custom domains, Business ten, and Unlimited a hundred (Free and Starter include one) — useful for agencies with multiple clients, multi-brand companies, or per-campaign branded domains.
