Feature — custom domains

Your bio. Your
domain.

Serve your page from links.yourname.com instead of a platform URL. One CNAME record, automatic SSL, and no company's name riding shotgun on every link you share.

/mo — Creator plan

The URL is the brand.

Every link you share is an ad for whoever owns the domain. On a platform URL, that's the platform. On your domain, it's you.

Recognized URLs get clicked

A prospect who just met you will click links.yourstudio.com without thinking — it's obviously yours. A generic platform slug makes them pause: is this the real account? For anyone whose bio link leads to a booking form or a payment page, that half-second of doubt is the whole conversion.

links.yourstudio.com

someplatform.xyz/user8241

Print it once, never reprint it

Business cards, conference slides, van decals, podcast outros — anywhere your URL lives in atoms instead of pixels, it needs to survive tool changes. A domain you own always points wherever you say. A platform URL is only good for as long as you use that platform and it keeps your handle.

The link equity accrues to you

When people share, bookmark, and link to your bio page, that reputation attaches to the domain in the address bar. On your own domain, years of shares build an asset you keep. On a shared platform domain, you're renting — leave, and the history stays with the landlord.

Everything still works underneath

A custom domain changes the address, not the product. AI persona chat answers as you at your URL. Full analytics — per-link clicks, referrers, device and browser splits, plus country and city breakdowns on Creator — keep flowing. Your QR code keeps scanning, and every scan is still tracked.

Setup is one DNS record.

No nameserver changes. No domain transfer. No code. If you can log into your registrar, you can do this before your coffee cools.

01

Pick your address

A subdomain like links.yoursite.com keeps your root domain free for your main site — most people choose this. Or point a bare domain like yourname.com if the bio page is your whole web presence.

02

Add one CNAME at your registrar

In your DNS panel (Namecheap, Cloudflare, GoDaddy — any of them), create a CNAME record with the host you picked pointing at the target shown in your hasl.ink settings. Save.

03

Verify — SSL handles itself

Hit verify in your dashboard. Once DNS propagates — usually minutes — we issue an SSL certificate for your domain and renew it automatically. Your page is live at your URL, padlock and all.

Your registrar — DNS records
TypeHostValue
A@203.0.113.7 (your site)
CNAMElinkscustom.hasl.ink
MX@mail.yourhost.com

That's the whole change — the highlighted row. Your website, email, and everything else on the domain are untouched.

Who actually needs this.

Honest answer: not everyone. A free hasl.ink/you URL is fine for a personal page. Your own domain starts paying for itself when the link does commercial work.

Freelancers & consultants

Your bio link goes in cold-outreach emails and proposals. links.yourname.com reads like a professional with infrastructure; a platform slug reads like a hobby.

Small businesses

The URL on the storefront window, the receipt, and the Google Business profile should be the business's name — and keep working even if you change tools in two years.

Agencies & managers

Setting up pages for clients? Each client's page on their own domain means your tooling choice is invisible — the client sees their brand, not your vendor.

Anyone printing QR codes

Merch, flyers, packaging, event badges. Ink is permanent; platforms aren't. Print a QR that resolves through your domain and the destination stays yours to control.

Custom domain, three ways.

You can get your own domain on a bio page elsewhere. Here's what it costs and what comes with it.

Custom domain FAQ.

DNS questions, answered like a human.

Do I need to already own a domain?+
Yes — hasl.ink doesn't sell domains, we just serve your page from one you own. Buy one at any registrar (Namecheap, Cloudflare, Porkbun — a .com runs $10-12/year) or reuse a domain you already have. Most people don't buy anything new: if you own yourname.com for your portfolio, point links.yourname.com at hasl.ink and your main site stays untouched.
Should I use a subdomain like links.mysite.com or my bare domain?+
Subdomain, in almost every case. links.yoursite.com or bio.yoursite.com works with a single CNAME record and leaves your root domain free for your actual website or a future one. Pointing a bare domain (yourname.com) at hasl.ink works too, but then hasl.ink is your whole web presence — fine if that's the plan, limiting if it isn't.
How does the DNS setup actually work?+
One CNAME record. In your registrar's DNS panel, add a record with the host you chose (e.g. links) pointing at the target we show you in settings. Save, then verify in your hasl.ink dashboard. Propagation is usually minutes, occasionally up to an hour. No nameserver changes, no transferring your domain, no code.
What about HTTPS — do I have to buy an SSL certificate?+
No. Once your CNAME verifies, we provision an SSL certificate for your domain automatically and renew it forever. Your page serves over HTTPS from day one with the padlock browsers expect. You never touch a certificate, and there's nothing extra to pay.
Does my hasl.ink/username URL keep working after I connect a domain?+
Yes. hasl.ink/you stays live and redirects to your custom domain, so every old bio link, printed QR code, and shared post keeps resolving. Your QR code and analytics carry over too — clicks and page views from both URLs land in the same dashboard, and scans of the existing QR are still tracked.
Which plan includes custom domains, and how does that compare to Linktree?+
Custom domains are on the Creator plan at $15/mo, which also includes 5,000 AI chat messages a month and geographic (country and city) analytics. Linktree's custom domain support sits in its $24/mo Premium tier — $9/mo more, with no AI chat at any price. If you don't need your own domain yet, hasl.ink's Free and Pro ($6/mo) plans cover everything else.

Start free. Add your domain when it matters.

Claim hasl.ink/you today, build the page, then point links.yourname.com at it on the Creator plan — one CNAME, nothing rebuilt.
