Custom Domains

8 min readCustomization

Custom domains let you use your own URL (like links.yourbrand.com) instead of pautly.com/@username. This feature is available on Pro plans.

Why Use a Custom Domain?

Benefits of a custom domain:

  • Professional branding
  • Easier to remember and share
  • Full ownership of your URL
  • Better trust with your audience

Setting Up Your Domain

Follow these steps to connect your domain:

  1. 1Go to Settings > Custom Domain
  2. 2Enter your domain (e.g., links.yourbrand.com)
  3. 3Copy the provided DNS records
  4. 4Add the records to your domain provider
  5. 5Click Verify to confirm the setup

DNS Configuration

You'll need to add a CNAME record pointing to our servers. The exact steps depend on your domain provider (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.).

Warning: DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, though it's usually much faster.

SSL Certificates

Pautly automatically provisions and renews SSL certificates for your custom domain. Your page will always be served securely via HTTPS.

Troubleshooting

If verification fails, check that:

  • DNS records are correctly entered
  • No conflicting records exist
  • Enough time has passed for propagation
  • The domain is not behind a proxy (disable Cloudflare proxy if applicable)
