pinrConnect a custom domain
Serve links on your own branded subdomain, like links.yourbrand.com, instead of pinr.to.
Add your subdomain
- Go to Settings -> Domains.
- Enter a subdomain (e.g.
links.yourbrand.com) and click Add domain. Root domains aren't supported - use a subdomain.
Point DNS at us
The domain shows as Pending DNS with a record to add. At your DNS provider, create:
| Type | Name | Target |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | links.yourbrand.com | cname.pinr.to |
A CNAME keeps our server IP out of your DNS and is why we only support subdomains (a CNAME can't sit at a root domain).
Verify
Back in pinr, click Verify. Once the CNAME is live, the domain flips to Connected and we automatically issue an SSL certificate. DNS can take a few minutes to propagate.
Use it
When creating a link, pick your domain from the domain dropdown next to the slug. Your links now resolve at links.yourbrand.com/slug.
Good to know
Custom domains are redirect-only - they serve your short links and nothing else. Visiting the domain root or any non-link path shows a clean "link not found" page, never the pinr site.
