Core Features

Custom Domains

Custom domains let your linkembed links use your own brand in the URL. Instead of yourworkspace.linkembed.io, you can use something like links.yourcompany.com. Custom domains are available on plans that support them; you add and verify domains from the Custom Domains section of your workspace.

What you need

You need a domain (or subdomain) that you control. linkembed supports subdomains (e.g. links.yourdomain.com or music.yourdomain.com), not the apex/root domain (e.g. yourdomain.com by itself). So you’ll use something like links, music, or embeds as the subdomain.

How to connect your domain

  1. In your workspace, go to Custom Domains and add the subdomain you want (e.g. links.yourdomain.com).
  2. In your DNS provider (where you manage your domain), add a CNAME record that points that subdomain to the target linkembed gives you (e.g. cname.linkembed.io). The exact target is shown in the dashboard when you add the domain.
  3. Wait for DNS to update (can take a few minutes to a few hours), then in linkembed click to verify the domain. Once verification succeeds, linkembed can serve your links on that domain and an SSL certificate is provisioned so the URL uses https.

Using the domain on links

After a domain is verified, you can set it as the workspace default (in Settings) so new links use it, or pick it per link or per folder. Links and folders can override which domain they use, so you can mix linkembed.io URLs and custom domain URLs in the same workspace.

If verification fails

Verification checks that the CNAME record for your subdomain points to the correct target. If it fails, double-check the CNAME in your DNS: the host should be your subdomain (or the full name you entered), and the value should match exactly what linkembed shows. Some DNS providers use “alias” or “CNAME flattening” for the root domain—those don’t apply here; use a real subdomain and a CNAME.

Limitations

linkembed does not bypass third-party security (CSP, X-Frame-Options) or proxy/modify external content. Embed and redirect behavior for your links depends on the destination and browser limits.
