Custom Domains: Shorten Links on Your Own Brand
Replace lix.li with your company's own domain — go.yourbrand.com. Set it up in the dashboard in a couple of minutes, and the HTTPS certificate is issued automatically. No servers, no nginx, no manual configuration.
Automatic HTTPS · no servers or nginx · one-click DNS verification
Why You Need Your Own Domain
A link on your own brand looks more official and earns more trust than a faceless short domain
Brand Trust
A link on go.yourbrand.com is recognizable and inspires more trust than someone else's domain — especially in email campaigns and on social media.
Automatic HTTPS
A Let's Encrypt certificate is issued and renewed automatically on the first request — with zero manual server configuration.
Set Up in Minutes
Add the domain in the dashboard, point one DNS record at it, and click Verify — no nginx edits, no server restarts.
Every Lix.li Feature Included
Deep Links, Smart Links, A/B testing, QR codes, password protection, and analytics all work on your domain exactly as they do on lix.li.
Who Needs Their Own Domain
Three common cases where a branded short link makes a real difference
Brands and SaaS Products
go.yourbrand.com in email campaigns, social posts, and ads reads as part of your product, not a third-party service.
Agencies and Freelancers
Give every client their own link domain — reports and links come across as fully branded for that client.
Creators and Personal Brands
link.yourname.com in a profile header or social bio looks more credible and is easier for followers to remember.
What Custom Domains Can Do
Flexible setup, automatic HTTPS, and full compatibility with every other Lix.li feature
Subdomain or Apex Domain
A subdomain (go.brand.com) connects with a single CNAME record — the simplest option. An apex domain (brand.com) connects via an A record instead.
Automatic HTTPS Certificate
A Let's Encrypt certificate is issued automatically on the first request to your domain and renews itself — no action needed from you.
One-Click DNS Verification
The Verify button checks where your domain points and flips the status to Active the moment DNS is set up correctly.
Several Domains per Account
One domain on the PRO plan, up to three on Premium. You can use different domains for different projects.
Pick the Domain When You Create a Link
Just choose the connected domain you want from the dropdown in the link-creation form — everything else works as usual.
Aliases Don't Collide Across Domains
The same alias can exist independently on lix.li and on each of your custom domains.
Automatic Re-Verification
Lix.li periodically rechecks your DNS on its own: the domain flips back to Active as soon as you fix the record.
Works With Every Link Feature
Deep Links, Smart Links, A/B testing, passwords, QR codes, and detailed click analytics — all available on your domain too.
How to Connect Your Domain
Five steps — from adding an address in the dashboard to your first branded link
Add the domain in your dashboard
Sign up for Lix.li, open the Domains section, and enter your domain — for example, go.yourbrand.com.
Set up the DNS record
For a subdomain, add a CNAME record pointing to the value shown in your dashboard — that's the simplest option. For an apex domain, use an A record instead.
Click Verify
Lix.li automatically checks where your domain points. DNS changes can take up to a few hours to propagate — you can retry verification anytime.
The domain becomes Active
Once DNS is set up correctly, the status switches to Active, and the HTTPS certificate is issued automatically on the first request.
Create links on your domain
Pick your domain from the dropdown in the link-creation form — done, your link now lives on your brand.
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Domains
Links on Your Domain — Without a Single Line of Config
Connect a domain in a couple of minutes and start shortening links under your own brand.
Custom domains on Lix.li let you shorten links on your own domain instead of lix.li: go.yourbrand.com instead of a third-party address. You shorten a link exactly the way you normally would, except it reads as part of your product or brand — which builds trust and recognition, especially in email campaigns, ads, and social media.
Setup takes a couple of minutes: add the domain in the dashboard, add one DNS record (a CNAME for a subdomain or an A record for an apex domain), and click Verify. From there, Lix.li handles everything — the HTTPS certificate from Let's Encrypt is issued and renewed automatically on the first request to your domain, with zero manual server, nginx, or service-restart work on your side.
Every Lix.li link feature is available on a custom domain: in-app opening, smart links, A/B testing, passwords, QR codes, and detailed click analytics. The domain is chosen right in the link-creation form. Custom domains are available on the PRO (1 domain) and Premium (up to 3 domains) plans.
