Put Your Link-in-Bio on Your Own Domain (links.yourname.com)

Every link-in-bio service gives you a URL on their domain: linktr.ee/you, bio.link/you, me.bloodweb.net/you. That's fine for a profile link — but on a business card, a shopfront sticker, or an email signature, links.yourname.com says something different: this brand owns its presence.

What actually happens when you connect a domain

Three things need to line up, and understanding them de-mystifies every "connect your domain" screen you'll ever see:

1. DNS. You add a CNAME record at your domain registrar pointing your subdomain (links.yourname.com) at the service's host. It's one row in a settings table — the record type is CNAME, the name is your subdomain, the value is the host they give you.
2. Routing. The service sees requests arriving for your hostname and serves your page for it.
3. HTTPS. The service obtains a TLS certificate for your domain (usually from Let's Encrypt) so browsers show the padlock instead of a warning. This is the step budget solutions skip — an http:// bio link in 2026 looks broken.

Apex domains vs subdomains

Subdomains (links.you.com) can use CNAME records and are the easy path. Apex domains (you.com with nothing in front) can't CNAME at most registrars — they need an A record pointing at an IP address. If you're given the choice, use a subdomain: it keeps your root domain free for a future website.

How it works on WebLink

On the Team plan, open your page in the editor → Publish & Share → enter your domain. We show you the exact record to add, verify your DNS when you hit "Check", then issue the certificate and route your domain automatically — typically live with HTTPS within five minutes, renewals handled forever. No server, no config files, no certificate expiry emails.

Propagation note: DNS changes usually apply in minutes but can take up to an hour. If the check fails right after you add the record, give it ten minutes and try again.
