Custom Domains
Branded links (custom domains) allow you to use your own domain name (e.g., link.yourbrand.com) instead of the default wonzly.com. This is the ultimate way to build trust with your audience.
Trust factor: Studies show that branded links receive up to 34% more clicks than generic short URLs because users can instantly recognize the brand they belong to.
Connecting Your Domain
Connecting your domain takes just a few minutes. You will need access to your domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Route53, Cloudflare).
Free Plan Perk: Users on our Free plan are allowed to connect 1 custom domain completely free of charge!
Step 1: Add your domain in Wonzly
- Navigate to Settings in your Wonzly dashboard.
- Click on the Custom Domains tab.
- Click on the Add Custom Domain button.

- Click on Connect Domain.
Step 2: Configure your DNS records
Once you click connect, Wonzly will ask you to add specific DNS records at your domain provider to complete verification.
You will see a table similar to this:
- Type: CNAME
- Name:
blog.yourdomain.com - Value:
cname.wonzly.com - Status: Pending
Copy these values into your domain registrar's DNS settings.
Step 3: Verify Connection
- Once the records are added to your provider, return to Wonzly.
- Click on Verify DNS.
Once verified, your domain is connected and ready to use!
Propagation Time: DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours to propagate globally.
SSL Certificates
Wonzly automatically provisions and manages an SSL certificate for your custom domain free of charge. Once your DNS records propagate, your domain will instantly support secure HTTPS connections.
