Domains & Branding
Connect your own domain so your links carry your brand, not a generic shortener.
Connect a domain you own and use it for your links, Bio Links page, and Smart Pick pages instead of the shared golo.to domain. Something not working? See Troubleshooting for domain problems, rather than digging through this section.
Custom domains
What are custom domains? - Your own domain instead of the shared golo.to.
Adding a custom domain - Type it into Settings - then complete DNS setup and verification.
Connecting a custom domain - Add your domain and verify it with DNS records.
DNS setup - One TXT record to prove ownership, one A or CNAME record to route traffic.
Verifying a domain - GoloLink checks your DNS automatically - you don't need to keep the page open.
How long DNS changes take - Usually minutes, but can take up to 48 hours - then click Verify.
Setting a default domain - Where your short links are shown and copied - set automatically when your first domain goes live.
Removing a domain - What happens to your links when you remove a domain.
Branded links
Creating a branded link - Pick your verified domain when creating the link.
Choosing a custom slug - One slug, one link - across golo.to and your own domains.
Using a branded domain on your links - Your links work on your own domain automatically - you only pick a domain for special cases.
Removing a domain - What happens to your links when you remove a domain.
