This feature is available with some paid plans
When you subscribe or upgrade to some paid plans, you'll have the option to claim a complimentary domain instead of adding one that you purchased elsewhere.
If you don't choose one at that time, you can return to your settings and choose one later (as long as you haven't already added your own domain).
Visit the Bitly Help Center guide to custom domains to learn more about custom domains.
To choose a complimentary domain:
- Log in to your Bitly account.
- Click Custom domains in the left sidebar.
- Click Get a complimentary domain through Bitly.
- Click Next.
- Enter a short description of your business. By sharing more about your business and brand, Bitly's AI custom domain generator will recommend some options. Be descriptive and include what makes your brand unique. Click Generate. To manually search for a custom domain, select Search for a domain. (Check out our list of top-level domains available with a complimentary domain.)
Pursuant to the Bitly Domain User Agreement, you are not permitted to select a domain that infringes the trademarks or other intellectual property rights of a third party.
- Once you've found the custom domain you'd like to use, click Select.
- Click Confirm.
Your custom domain may take up to 24-48 hours to verify. If it hasn't verified after 48 hours, contact us and our support team will help.
Once verified, you're all set to start creating links with your new custom domain!
