Domains

Use your own domain for short links. Add a domain, configure DNS records, verify, and get automatic SSL.

Pro Feature

PRO

Custom domains are available on Pro, Plus, Premium, and Lifetime plans. Free users will see an upgrade prompt when navigating to the domains page. Once upgraded, you can add multiple custom domains and use them across all your short links.

Setting Up a Custom Domain

1

Navigate to Domains

Go to Dashboard → Link Shortener → Domains, or click the globe icon in the shortener header.

2

Add your domain

Click "Add Domain" and enter your domain (e.g. go.yourbrand.com). A subdomain is recommended.

3

Configure DNS records

Add the TXT record (for verification) and CNAME record (for routing) in your DNS provider.

4

Verify domain

Click "Verify" next to your domain. Lnkk.it checks the DNS records and confirms ownership.

5

Wait for SSL

An SSL certificate is automatically provisioned. This usually takes a few minutes.

6

Start using it

Your domain shows as "Active". When creating or editing links, select your custom domain from the dropdown.

DNS Records Required

2 DNS records you need to add at your domain registrar

TXT RecordProves you own the domain
Host:_lnkk-verify.yourdomain.com
Value:Your unique verification token
CNAME RecordRoutes traffic to Lnkk.it servers
Host:yourdomain.com
Value:links.lnkk.it

Tip: The exact DNS record values are shown in the modal after you add your domain. Copy them directly using the copy buttons provided.

Domain Statuses

4 possible domain states

Pending

Domain added but DNS records not yet verified. Configure your DNS and click "Verify".

Verified

DNS records confirmed. SSL certificate is being provisioned.

Active

Fully active — domain is verified and SSL is working. Ready to use for short links.

Blocked

Domain has been blocked. Contact support for more information.

SSL Certificates

Automatic HTTPS for your custom domain

Pending— SSL certificate is being generated — usually takes a few minutes
Active— SSL certificate is active — your links work over HTTPS
Failed— SSL provisioning failed — check your DNS CNAME record

Domain Card Info

Each domain card in your dashboard shows:

Domain NameYour custom domain (e.g. go.yourbrand.com)
Status BadgePending, Verified, Active, or Blocked
SSL StatusPending, Active, or Failed indicator
Link CountNumber of short links using this domain
Added DateWhen the domain was first registered
ActionsDNS setup instructions, verify, and delete buttons

Tips

Use a subdomain like go.yourbrand.com or link.yourbrand.com — this avoids conflicts with your main site

DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, but usually work within minutes

Click "Verify" again if the first check fails — your DNS may not have propagated yet

Only verified/active domains appear in the domain dropdown when creating links

You can add multiple custom domains and use different ones for different campaigns

Custom domain links get the same QR codes and analytics as regular lnkk.it links
