What Are Custom Domains?
A custom domain in trimy lets you point your own domain (e.g., go.mycompany.com or links.brand.com) to trimy's infrastructure. When you create a short link, instead of it being trimy.io/abc123, it becomes go.mycompany.com/abc123 — keeping your brand visible every time someone sees or shares the link.
This is more than cosmetics. Research shows branded short URLs can get up to 34% higher click-through rates than generic ones. People trust links from recognizable domains. With custom domains, every link you share is an opportunity to reinforce brand recognition and increase engagement.
Why Use Custom Domains
Build Trust
People click links from brands they recognize. Branded short URLs appear more trustworthy, leading to higher click-through rates and better campaign performance.
Brand Reinforcement
Every shared link is a marketing touchpoint. Custom domains ensure your brand name appears in emails, social posts, and messages — constant brand exposure.
Higher Click Rates
Studies show branded short links can see up to 34% higher CTR vs. generic shorteners. Your own domain means more clicks, more engagement, more conversions.
Full Control
You own the domain, you control the links. Migrate away from trimy anytime — full portability guaranteed.
How to Set Up a Custom Domain
-
1
Choose a subdomain
Decide on a subdomain: go.yourcompany.com, links.yourcompany.com, or shortlinks.yourcompany.com. It should be memorable and clearly associated with your brand.
-
2
Point your domain to trimy
In your domain provider's settings, add a simple forwarding record that points your chosen subdomain to trimy. The trimy dashboard shows you the exact values to copy and paste — no guesswork.
-
3
Confirm domain ownership
trimy will show you a short verification record to add in your domain settings. This proves you own the domain and lets trimy set up HTTPS automatically. Copy, paste, done.
-
4
Verify and go live
trimy checks your settings (usually instant, sometimes up to 24 hours). Once confirmed, your custom domain is live — fully secured, HTTPS-ready, and ready to create branded links.
-
5
Start creating branded links
Create short links using your custom domain instead of trimy.io. All analytics, A/B tests, and features work exactly the same — just with your branding.
Real-World Use Cases
E-Commerce Product Launches
An online retailer sends product launch emails with custom domain links (e.g., shop.retailer.com/summer-sale). Customers see the branded domain, trust it immediately, and click through at 45% higher rates than generic shorteners.
SaaS Free Trial Campaigns
A SaaS company uses try.company.com for trial sign-up links in ads and emails. The branded domain increases trust for first-time users who might be skeptical of free trial offers, boosting trial conversions.
Content Marketing Distribution
A B2B content company uses links.company.com in their blog posts and social media. The branded domain increases click-through rates on content links, driving more traffic to their website and improving SEO signals.
Influencer Partnerships
A fashion brand works with influencers and provides go.fashion.com affiliate links. The branded domain makes the link look official, increasing influencer credibility and conversion rates for both parties.
