Adding a custom domain

Custom Domains page showing a verified domain and a pending domain with DNS instructions

Custom domains are available on the Marketer plan (1 domain) and Agency plan (unlimited domains).

Step 1 — Add the domain in Lynkd

  1. Go to Custom Domains in the sidebar.
  2. Click Add Domain.
  3. Enter your domain (e.g. go.yourbrand.com).
  4. Click Add.

Step 2 — Configure your DNS

Lynkd will show you a CNAME record to add to your domain's DNS settings. The record looks like:

TypeNameValue
CNAMEgocname.lynkd.ink

Add this record in your domain registrar's DNS panel (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.). DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours, but usually completes within a few minutes.

Step 3 — Verify

Once DNS has propagated, return to Custom Domains and click Verify. Lynkd will automatically provision an SSL certificate for your domain.

Using your custom domain

When creating a new link, select your custom domain from the Domain dropdown. The short URL will use your domain instead of lynkd.ink.

Note: Existing links created with lynkd.ink will continue to work even after you add a custom domain.
