Custom domains

Custom domains: your brand on every short link.

A custom short domain serves your links from a domain or subdomain you own, such as go.yourbrand.com, instead of a shared shortener domain. You add one CNAME record, and SwiftURL verifies it and issues and renews SSL automatically. Custom domains start on Pro, with 3 included.

Why use a branded short domain?

A link that shows your name is easier to trust than one on a generic shortener, and it keeps your brand front and center in every message. SwiftURL serves your links from a domain or subdomain you control, backed by Cloudflare SSL.

Bring a domain or subdomain

Serve links from a domain or subdomain you control, like go.yourbrand.com, then pick it when you create any short link.

Frequently asked questions

What is a custom short domain?

A domain or subdomain you own, such as go.yourbrand.com, that serves your short links instead of a shared shortener domain. People see your brand in the link before they tap it.

Can I use my own domain on the Free plan?

No. Free links use the shared sftl.in domain. Custom domains start on Pro, which includes 3, then Business includes 25 and Enterprise is unlimited, all with SSL.

How do I connect my domain?

Add the domain in SwiftURL, create the one CNAME record it shows you at your DNS provider, and SwiftURL verifies the record and issues an SSL certificate. The branded short domain guide covers each step.

Do you handle SSL certificates?

Yes. SSL is provisioned automatically once your DNS record verifies, and renewed for you, backed by Cloudflare. There is nothing to upload or renew by hand.

Should I use a subdomain or a separate short domain?

Either works. A subdomain like go.yourbrand.com reuses the name people already know and needs no new purchase; a separate short domain keeps links shorter, which helps in SMS. You can connect both.

Does deep linking work on my custom domain?

Yes. SwiftURL serves the iOS and Android association files on each of your domains, so links on your own domain can open your app. See deep linking.
