Using your own domain in CutyURL gives your brand a professional touch and makes your short links more trustworthy.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up a Main Domain or a Subdomain for CutyURL, and how to enable SSL using Cloudflare.
Step 1: Choose Your Domain
Main Domain (e.g.,
mybrand.com): The entire shortener will run on this domain.Subdomain (e.g.,
go.mybrand.com): Your main website stays separate, and the shortener works on the subdomain.
Step 2: Set Up DNS Records
Setup A Record
Name / Host:
@Type: A
Value / Points to: CutyURL’s IP Address (get it from your CutyURL panel)
TTL: Auto / Default
💡 Note: Always use the A Record for your root domain (mybrand.com).
2. For Subdomain (CNAME Record)
If you want something like go.mybrand.com:
Name / Host:
goType: CNAME
Value / Points to:
cutyurl.comTTL: Auto / Default
Step 4: Add the Domain in CutyURL Dashboard
Log in to your CutyURL dashboard.
Go to Settings → Custom Domain.
Enter your Main Domain or Subdomain.
Save and wait for DNS propagation (usually 12 –24 Hours ).
✅ Your Custom Domain is now ready!
You can start sharing professional short links with your brand name.
🔒 Recommendation:
Add SSL with Cloudflare for Better Security
Whenever you connect a Custom Domain with CutyURL, make sure to enable SSL (HTTPS). Having SSL not only secures your links but also improves your website’s trust and Google ranking.
👉 The easiest way to get free SSL is by using Cloudflare
Steps to Add Your Domain in Cloudflare:
Sign Up / Log in to Cloudflare – Go to cloudflare.com.
Add a Site – Enter your domain name and choose the Free Plan.
Update Nameservers – Cloudflare will provide nameservers. Update these in your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, BigRock, etc.).
Enable SSL/TLS – In the Cloudflare dashboard, set SSL mode to Flexible.
Update DNS Records –
Add an A Record pointing your domain to the server IP address provided by CutyURL.
If using a subdomain, you can also add a CNAME record pointing cutyurl.com.
