Adding a Custom Domain - ClickSpot Docs

Adding a Custom Domain

Use your own domain for branded short links. Custom domains build trust and reinforce your brand with every link.

Why Use a Custom Domain?

  • Brand recognition - links.yourcompany.com is more memorable than a generic shortener
  • Higher click rates - Recipients are more likely to click links they recognize
  • Professional appearance - Custom domains look more legitimate in emails and social media
  • Complete control - Your links, your domain, no dependencies on third parties

Domain Options

Subdomain (Recommended)

Use a subdomain like links.yourcompany.com or go.yourcompany.com. This keeps your main domain unchanged while adding link capabilities.

Dedicated Domain

Register a short domain specifically for links, like acme.link or yourco.io. Shorter domains make shorter links.

Adding Your Domain

  1. Go to Domains in your workspace sidebar
  2. Click Add Domain
  3. Enter your domain (e.g., links.yourcompany.com)
  4. Click Add

After adding, you'll see your domain with a "Pending" status. Next, you need to configure your DNS.

What Happens Next

  1. Configure DNS - Point your domain to our servers (see DNS Configuration)
  2. Verify - We'll automatically verify your domain is configured correctly
  3. SSL Certificate - We automatically provision a free SSL certificate
  4. Ready to use - Create links using your new domain

Requirements

  • You must own or control the domain
  • You need access to your domain's DNS settings
  • The domain cannot already be in use on ClickSpot by another account

Supported Domain Types

  • Subdomains - links.example.com, go.company.co
