Custom Domains

Connect your own domain to short links and bio profiles.

Premium plans can serve short links and bio profiles from your own domain.

What you get

  • Pro and Team include 1 custom domain.
  • Extra domains cost $1/month each.
  • After DNS is verified, yourdomain.com/slug opens your short links, and the root can open a bio profile.
  • Your bio profiles also open at yourdomain.com/profile-slug.
  • HTTPS is set up for the domain automatically.

Only links and profiles you created are served on your domain. A slug that belongs to someone else's link doesn't open on it.

Add a domain

  1. Upgrade to Pro or Team. On the Free plan the Add domain button is disabled.
  2. Open Settings → Domains.
  3. Click Add domain and enter a hostname such as go.example.com or example.com. A leading www. is removed, so www.example.com is added as example.com.
  4. Optionally pick a Root bio profile (see below).
  5. If this is your first domain, it is included. Additional domains send you to checkout for $1/month; after paying, you come back to Settings → Domains.
  6. Create the DNS records shown for the domain at your DNS provider. Each value has a copy button:
    • CNAME your-domain → cname.linked.is
    • TXT _linkedis-challenge.your-domain → the verification token (it starts with linkedis-verify=)
  7. Click Verify DNS. Propagation can take a few minutes. When both records are found, the domain's status changes to active.
Subdomains like go.example.com work with any DNS provider. A root domain (example.com) can't have a normal CNAME record, so it needs a provider that supports CNAME flattening or ALIAS records, such as Cloudflare.

If verification fails, the error message tells you which record is missing. The TXT record is checked first, then the CNAME.

A domain you added but never verified can be claimed by another account after 72 hours.

Root bio profile

Assign a bio profile to the domain root if you want https://your-domain/ to open that page. You can pick it when adding the domain or change it later from the Root bio profile menu on the domain card. Choose None (links only) to use the domain only for short links.

Only bio profiles from your Personal workspace can be set as the root profile. Short links keep working at https://your-domain/slug either way.

Dashboard pages such as /dashboard or /settings on your domain redirect to linked.is.

Billing status

Each domain card shows a billing badge:

  • Included - The domain that comes with your plan.
  • Payment required - An extra domain that hasn't been paid yet. Click Pay $1/month to finish checkout. You can't verify DNS until it's paid.
  • $1/month - A paid extra domain.
  • Past due - The subscription payment failed. The domain can't be verified until billing is active again.

Remove a domain

Click the trash icon on the domain card. The domain is disconnected right away. For a paid extra domain, the $1/month subscription is cancelled at the end of the current billing period.
