A custom domain helps people recognize your links and associate them with your product or company. When they see your brand, they trust your links. That results in higher click-through rates. We offer a complimentary domain with some paid plans. It's also easy to buy your own and add it to your Bitly account.
To buy your own custom domain:
- Choose a domain hosting service, like GoDaddy. We have a list of common domain name providers that can be used to buy a domain.
- Search for a domain. Remember that any domain you purchase must have 32 characters or less, including the dot.
- Buy your domain. Follow the domain hosting service's steps to make your purchase.
Once you've purchased a domain, add it to Bitly and start creating custom links! Visit the Bitly Help Center guide to custom domains for an overview of the entire process.
Keep these things in mind as you choose and set up a custom domain:
- The domain for your short links must be different than your website domain.
- It can't be more than 32 characters long, including the dot.
- If you don't have one yet, Bitly offers a complimentary domain on some paid plans.
