Set up a branded custom domain

Serve short links on your own domain, with automatic HTTPS.

1. Add the domain

On Domains, click Add Domain and enter a domain or subdomain you own (e.g. go.yourbrand.com).

2. Verify ownership

Open Set up DNS and publish the TXT record shown (_yaklink-verify.<domain> → your token), then click Verify. This proves the domain is yours before anyone can brand links on it.

3. Point traffic & go live

Add the CNAME (subdomain) or A/ALIAS (apex) record shown. The first time your domain reaches us, a TLS certificate is issued automatically — then pick the domain when creating links.
