What is a custom domain?
A custom domain is a unique, branded domain that allows an individual or organization to create shorter, more personalized short links.
In addition to a personal custom domain, Linko offers three premium domains available on all paid plans. You have the option to choose any of these domains for shortening your links.
Only one domain is available on the free plan. In order to get access to all three domains, you need to subscribe to a paid plan.
