Links on a hostname you own

A custom domain puts your links on a hostname such as go.yourapp.com. Every plan includes at least one. It is the single most useful thing you can do for the long life of your links: a hostname you own can be pointed anywhere, so links and printed QR codes can move with you.

How it works

  1. 01

    Add the hostname

    A subdomain, or a whole domain you keep only for links.

  2. 02

    Create the DNS record the page shows

    Once DNS points at us, a certificate is issued automatically and the domain turns verified.

  3. 03

    Add it to your app

    To the associated domains on iOS and the intent filters on Android, then release an app update.

What is included

  • Links are written with your domain by default once it is verified.
  • Your dl2.app addresses keep working alongside it. The same slug works on every host of the project.
  • Certificates renew by themselves, including while a team is read-only.
  • If you leave, repoint the DNS record at your own server running the self-host bundle from your export.

Where it stops

  • Don’t use the bare domain your website is on: once it points here, every address on it is a link.
  • Until users have the app update that adds the new host, it opens the store or web page instead of the app.
  • A link on yourapp.dl2.app is on our hostname and cannot move with you.

The detail

Start with one link

The free plan has no time limit and needs no card. Create a project, add your app, and send yourself the link.
