Why it matters

Your domain on every link you share

Every URL you share is a micro-brand impression. Make them count by reinforcing your identity instead of someone else's.

Builds immediate trust
Links from go.acme.com look intentional and official. Recipients know exactly where the link is from before they click — reducing hesitation and spam flags.
Higher click-through rates
Studies consistently show branded short links outperform generic ones on CTR. When your audience trusts the domain, they click more — it's that simple.
Brand consistency
Whether you're sending an email, posting on social, or running ads — every short link looks like it belongs to you, not a third-party tool.
Platform independence
If you ever switch link management tools, your branded links move with you. You own the domain — not the tool vendor.
Full analytics on custom URLs
Click tracking, geo data, device breakdown, referrers — all the same powerful analytics, on every link served from your domain.
Better email deliverability
Generic URL shortener domains can get flagged by spam filters. Your own domain has its own reputation — keep it clean and improve inbox placement.
Setup guide

Up and running in 4 steps

No server config needed. All you do is add a DNS record at your registrar and verify — we handle the rest.

1
Choose a subdomain
Decide which subdomain to use for your short links. Common choices are go., links., or l.
links.yourbrand.com
2
Add a CNAME record
In your DNS provider (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.), create a CNAME record pointing your subdomain to TinyZy.
CNAME → tinyzy.com
3
Register the domain
Go to your TinyZy dashboard → Domains, enter your subdomain, and click Add Domain. We'll store it for verification.
4
Verify & set as primary
Once DNS propagates (up to 48 hours), click Verify. Then set the domain as Primary and all new short links will use it.
DNS Record Reference
Record Type Host / Name Value / Points to TTL
CNAME links (or any subdomain) tinyzy.com 3600 (1 hour)
DNS changes can take 24–48 hours to fully propagate globally. In most cases it happens within an hour. Once your CNAME is live, the Verify button in your dashboard will confirm it.
FAQ

Common questions

Can I use a root/apex domain like yourbrand.com?
Root domains typically use A records, not CNAMEs. We recommend using a subdomain like go.yourbrand.com — it's simpler to configure and leaves your root domain intact.
Will my existing short links still work if I switch domains?
Yes. Links already created with the default domain continue to work. New links created after setting a custom primary domain will use your branded domain. Old links are not automatically migrated, but they remain fully functional.
How many custom domains can I add?
The number of custom domains you can add depends on your plan. Check the pricing page for current limits. All plans allow multiple domains to be registered and verified.
Does it affect link analytics?
Not at all. Analytics, click tracking, geo data, and device reporting all work identically regardless of which domain serves the link.
