This guide will walk you through linking your own branded domain or subdomain with T2M URL Shortener, allowing you to create custom vanity short URLs that reflect your brand.
Note: You must own the domain. If your bare/root domain is already in use for a website, portal, or email (MX records), please use a subdomain (e.g., `links.example.com`).
Steps to link your domain with T2M:
- Login to your T2M dashboard.
- Navigate to the
Branded Domainspage and click the "+ Add New Domain" button. - Fill out the "Add New Domain" form:
- Custom domain name: Enter your branded short domain (e.g., "example.com") or subdomain (e.g., "link.example.com").
- 404 redirect URL: Enter a full URL or leave blank. Any broken or deleted short URL will redirect to this URL.
- Base/TLD redirect URL: Enter a full URL or leave blank. This will serve as the landing page for your branded domain.
- Click on "+ Add Domain" button.
- Once domain is added, click "[show details]" on the domain list page to view DNS values. Proceed to the next section for DNS setup.
DNS setup for your custom domain:
- Log in to your Domain Registrar account (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap).
- Navigate to the DNS settings for your domain.
