Learn how to add a custom domain to your AffEasy workspace for free - no credit card required.
Whenever you’re creating a short link for marketing purposes, it is important to use a custom domain for better brand recognition and click-through rates.
At AffEasy, we have one of the most generous custom domain limits in the industry – you can add up to 3 custom domains to your workspace for free, and even more with our paid plans.
After adding your domain, you’ll be presented with a DNS record that you’ll need to add to your domain’s DNS settings.
Step 2a: Adding an Apex Domain
If you’re adding an apex domain (e.g. example.com), you’ll need to add an A record with the following values:
Name: @ (or leave it blank)
Value: 76.76.21.21
TTL: 86400 (or the highest value possible)
Step 2b: Adding a Subdomain
If you’re adding a subdomain (e.g. go.example.com), you’ll need to add a CNAME record with the following values:
Name: go (or whatever subdomain you want to use)
Value: cname.affeasy.link
TTL: 86400 (or the highest value possible)
Note that we do not support using www. as a subdomain, since the www. subdomain will always redirect to the apex domain instead.We recommend using the following variations for your subdomains:
go.example.com
try.example.com
links.example.com
l.example.com
If you’re using Cloudflare as your DNS provider, you might need to configure
some extra steps for it to work properly. Please refer to our guide on using
Cloudflare domains with AffEasy for more
information.
This step is only applicable if you are adding a domain that is currently being used on another platform that requires verification.
To verify that you own the domain, you’ll need to add a TXT record with the following
values:
Name: _vercel
Value: vc-domain-verify=go.yourdomain.com… (the exact value will be provided to you on the AffEasy dashboard)
If you are using this domain for another site, setting this TXT record may
affect that site. Please exercise caution when setting this record. For
example: Make sure that the domain shown in the TXT verification value (e.g.
go.yourdomain.com) is actually the domain you want to use as a custom domain
on AffEasy – and not your production site.
Domain configuration can take anywhere between 1 to 24 hours to complete. If your domain still doesn’t work after 24 hours, please send us an email and we’ll be happy to help you out.
