Custom Branded Short Domains with Automatic SSL

Replace generic shortener links with your client's own domain name. Increase brand recognition, protect link deliverability, and maintain complete control over your DNS routing.

Domain Management

Enterprise-grade domain routing infrastructure

LinkForge manages edge SSL certificates, CNAME verification, and domain fallbacks so your short links stay fast and reliable.

Automatic Edge SSL

Every custom domain receives an automatic TLS/SSL certificate provisioned at the edge for secure HTTPS redirection.

Root Fallback Redirects

Direct visitors who navigate to the root domain (e.g. `brand.link/`) to your main website or custom landing page.

DNS CNAME Health Checks

Real-time DNS status monitoring ensures your domains stay verified and active without unexpected downtime.

Maintain Total Domain Ownership & Trust

Shared shortener domains can get flagged by spam filters if other users abuse them. By bringing your own custom domain to LinkForge, your links remain 100% tied to your brand's reputation.

  • Subdomain support (e.g. `go.yourbrand.com` or `link.agency.com`)
  • CNAME record validation with step-by-step DNS instructions
  • Works seamlessly with LinkForge Smart Routing & Dynamic QR codes

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about custom short domain integration.

How long does custom domain DNS verification take?

Once you add your CNAME record pointing to LinkForge's edge infrastructure, verification typically completes within a few minutes. SSL certificates are provisioned automatically.

Can I connect multiple custom domains to one workspace?

Yes. Depending on your LinkForge plan, you can connect and manage multiple client or brand domains within dedicated workspace folders.

What happens if someone visits the root domain without a path?

LinkForge allows you to configure a custom fallback URL for root domain visits, directing traffic straight to your primary company website or campaign landing page.
