Adding a custom domain to Ziplink allows you to create branded, professional, and trustworthy short links.

​
Prerequisites

Before adding a custom domain, ensure that:
  • You own a domain. If you don’t have one yet, you can register a domain through providers like Namecheap or GoDaddy.
  • You’ve decided whether to use the root domain (yourdomain.com) or a subdomain (links.yourdomain.com).

​
Configure Your DNS

To link your domain with Ziplink, you need to update your DNS settings with your domain provider.

​
Using a Subdomain

If you want to use a subdomain like links.yourdomain.com, create the following DNS record:
NameTypeValueTTL
subdomain.yourdomain.com.CNAMEzipl.ink.300
This ensures your subdomain correctly points to Ziplink.

​
Using a Root Domain

If you prefer using yourdomain.com directly, you need to set up an A record. In that case, create the following DNS record:
NameTypeValueTTL
@A3.72.197.1993600
This ensures your root domain correctly points to Ziplink. Once your DNS configuration is complete, add your domain to Ziplink by following these steps:
1

Open workspace settings

Click your profile at the bottom of the sidebar, then, in the dropdown menu, select Workspace settings.
2

Go to the domains section

Navigate to the domain settings section.
3

Add a new domain

Click the Add domain button above the domain list.
4

Enter domain details

Enter your domain (e.g., links.yourdomain.com) and optionally set an alias to make it easier to recognize within your workspace.
5

Submit the domain

Click Submit to register your domain with Ziplink. The system will verify and activate it in the background within a few seconds.

​
Customize Your Domain Details

When creating or editing domain, you can customize it using the following options:
​
Alias
The alias is a custom name for your domain. It helps you identify your domain within your workspace. The alias is not visible to your visitors.
​
Domain
The domain name to use for your links. It is part of the generated short URL. For example, if your domain is links.yourdomain.com, the generated short URL will be https://links.yourdomain.com/abc123.
​
Fallback Domain
The fallback domain is used when when someone tries to access your short link domain with no path specified. For example, if you have a short URL https://links.yourdomain.com/abc123 and a fallback domain fallback.com, the user will be redirected to https://fallback.com.
​
Custom Not Found URL
The custom not found URL is used when someone tries to access a non-existent path on your short link domain. For example, if you have a short URL https://links.yourdomain.com/abc123 and a custom not found URL https://yourdomain.com/not-found, the user will be redirected to https://yourdomain.com/not-found?url=https://links.yourdomain.com/abc123.
