Question 2

How to shorten URLs using your domain

Accepted Answer

Available through paid subscription plans, you can shorten URLs using a domain or subdomain that you already own. Please ensure that such is unused and not associated with a website, blog, or any published content. All traffic will be sent from your domain to TinyURL servers.

Domain is secured with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt.

Add your domain or subdomain

Log-in to your TinyURL account.
Go to Settings and then Branded Domains.

If you want to connect your existing domain, go to BYO Domain and click Setup Domain.
Enter your existing domain name or details for the subdomain you want to connect to TinyURL.
