How to point your custom root domain to Linko
To connect your main domain (e.g., yourdomain.com) to Linko:
-
Go to your DNS Zone in your domain registrar.
-
Create a CNAME record.
-
Set the Host to “@” or (root domain).
-
Set the Value to
www.linko.me.
How to point your custom subdomain to Linko
To connect a subdomain (e.g., go.yourdomain.com) to Linko:
-
Go to your DNS Zone in your domain registrar.
-
Create a CNAME record.
-
Set the Host to your desired subdomain (e.g., “go”, “link”, “out”).

Troubleshooting: Domain not routing correctly
To verify if your domain is correctly configured:
See the DNS Check infront of your domain.
-
If you see a
Check Mark, your domain is correctly pointed and will work. -
If you see a
Cross Mark, your domain is misconfigured and won’t work.
Important Notes
A domain can point to only one IP/domain at a time.
If your domain is already pointing to another server, you must:
Replace the existing IP with Linko’s domain, or
Use a subdomain instead.
