By default your links live on TrackRev’s domain. Add a custom domain and they become go.yourbrand.com/spring instead — branded, trusted, and better for click-through. One custom domain powers both your branded short links and your affiliate signup page.
Use a subdomain you control, such as go.yourbrand.com or links.yourbrand.com. A subdomain is the recommended setup — pointing your root domain here would replace your existing website.

​
Add and verify a domain

1

Open Domains

Go to Configuration → Domains (/settings/domains). This page is titled “Domains — One custom domain powers everything — branded short links and your affiliate signup page.”
2

Add your domain

Under Add a domain, enter your subdomain (e.g. go.yourbrand.com) and click Add domain. TrackRev registers it and shows the DNS records you need to add.
3

Add the DNS record at your provider

In your DNS provider (Cloudflare, Namecheap, Route 53, etc.), add the record shown. For a subdomain that’s a single CNAME:For a root/apex domain, use an A record instead:
A CNAME can’t coexist with other records on the same name — delete any existing A or AAAA records on that name first. If TrackRev shows a specific TXT verification challenge, add that exactly as displayed.
4

Check status

Back on the Domains page, click Check status on the domain. DNS can take a few minutes to propagate. Once verified, TLS is provisioned automatically.

What a verified domain does

  • Your short links serve from https://go.yourbrand.com/slug.
  • Your affiliate signup page serves at https://go.yourbrand.com/join (and /join/<program-slug>). See Affiliate branding.

​
Managing domains

  • Check status re-verifies with the DNS provider and refreshes the badge.
  • Remove detaches the domain. You’ll get a two-step “Remove — links will break” confirm, because any link already shared on that domain stops resolving once it’s removed.
Removing or repointing a domain breaks links already in the wild. Only remove a domain you’re sure is no longer in use.

​
Troubleshooting

A domain can only be attached to one workspace at a time. Remove it from the other workspace first, or use a different subdomain.
Some hostnames are reserved by TrackRev (app and partner hosts). Pick a different subdomain like go. or links..
This appears if the platform’s domain provisioning isn’t configured. Contact maruf@trackrev.io.
