How do I create a branded short link with my .ME domain?

Branded short links make your URLs look professional and trustworthy by using a custom domain instead of generic shorteners. This is great for personal branding because your audience immediately recognizes the source of the link.

Here’s how you can set up a branded short domain with Owly, Bitly and Rebrandly:

1. Choose and Register Your Domain Name – To create branded short links, you first need a custom domain (e.g., yourdomain.me). With Owly, Bitly and Rebrandly, instead of appearing like this: bit.ly/awesome-post, your links will appear as: yourdomain.me/awesome-post.
2. Set Up Your Branded Short Domain in Bitly – Sign up or log into your Owly, Bitly or Rebrandly account, go to Settings > Custom Domains, and follow the steps to add your domain. Owly, Bitly and Rebrandly will provide specific DNS settings that you’ll need to configure with your domain registrar.
3. Verify Your Domain – DNS updates can take up to 48 hours to fully propagate. Once completed, you will be ready to create branded links with your own custom domain!
