How does Custom Domain verification work?

Understanding Custom Domains

By default, your link-in-bio page is hosted on a subdomain of our platform (e.g., lynkbio.in/your-name). A custom domain allows you to use your own branded URL (e.g., links.yourbrand.com or yourbrand.in).

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Purchase or login to your registrar: Log in to where your domain is hosted (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare).
2. Navigate to DNS Management: Look for the DNS settings or DNS Zone Editor for your domain.
3. Add a CNAME Record:
   • Type: CNAME
   • Host/Name: The subdomain you want to use (e.g., links or www). If you want to use your apex domain (e.g., yourbrand.in), use @ as the host (note: some DNS providers require an ALIAS or ANAME record instead of CNAME for apex domains).
   • Value/Points to: pages.lynkbio.in
   • TTL: Leave as default (e.g., 3600 or Auto).

How Verification Works

Once you configure the CNAME record, our server regularly checks public DNS records to verify that your domain points to pages.lynkbio.in.

• Propagation Time: DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours to propagate worldwide.
• SSL Provisioning: Once verified, our platform automatically provisions a secure SSL/HTTPS certificate for your domain so visitors see a lock icon in their browser.
