Link in Bio With a Custom Domain (2026): Use Your Own URL
A custom domain puts your link in bio on your own URL instead of a shared subdomain. Here is which tools support it, what it costs, and how to connect one in 2026.
If you want your link in bio on your own URL instead of a shared subdomain, the short answer is that it is almost always a paid feature, and the real question is which tool gives you the most for the price. This guide covers why a custom domain matters, which tools support one and at what cost, and how to connect it in 2026.
The short answer
A link in bio with a custom domain lives at yourname.com rather than tool.com/yourname, which reads as more professional and keeps your brand off a third-party subdomain. ManyLinks supports custom domains on Pro at 10.82 EUR per month, which also adds branded short links on that domain. Linktree does not offer a custom domain on any plan. You can start free on ManyLinks and only need Pro when you want your own URL.
Being upfront: the domain is a Pro feature
The domain name itself is something you register with a registrar, and connecting it to your page is part of ManyLinks Pro, not the free plan. We say that plainly so the trade is clear: free gets you the full grid, all widgets, and 30-day analytics, and Pro at 10.82 EUR per month adds the custom domain alongside branding removal, branded short links, UTM tracking, tracking pixels, and unlimited analytics history.
Why a custom domain matters
- Trust. A client or brand partner reads
yourname.comas more established than a shared subdomain. - Brand consistency. Every link you share stays on your name, including branded short links like
yourname.com/promo. - Ownership. If you ever move tools, the domain is yours, so the URL you printed and shared keeps working.

How to connect your domain on ManyLinks
- Register a domain with any registrar, or use one you already own.
- Add the domain in your ManyLinks settings.
- Update one DNS record as shown in the setup instructions.
- Wait for it to verify, then your page is served from your own URL.
Once connected, you can also create branded short links on that domain.
Our take
A custom domain is one of the clearest upgrades from a hobby page to a professional one, and the smart move is to weigh what else a tool bundles at that price rather than the domain alone. ManyLinks Pro pairs the domain with branded short links, analytics, UTM, and pixels at 10.82 EUR per month, and Linktree does not offer a custom domain at all, so for a branded page it is not even an option there.
