Branded domains

Early access

Short links on your own domain.

Share links like go.yourbrand.com/launch, with your name where zou.sh would be. Branded domains come with accounts, now in early access: 1 on Pro, 5 on Team.

Early access. Until then, zou.sh links are free and never expire.

How it will work

How branded domains will work

  1. 1

    Pick a domain you own

    Choose a short hostname you control and don’t use for anything else, such as go.yourbrand.com.

  2. 2

    Point a DNS record

    Add a DNS record at your registrar or DNS provider that points the domain at Blinkhop. Exact steps will be documented when accounts open.

  3. 3

    Share links on it

    Create short links on your domain with endings you choose, like go.yourbrand.com/launch, and share them anywhere.

Why it helps

Why use a branded domain for short links

Your name in the link tells people who sent it, before they decide to click. Branded domains come with accounts, in early access.

  • Early access

    Your name in every link

    go.yourbrand.com/launch shows who is behind the link in a post, a text message or on a printed flyer, before anyone opens it.

  • Early access

    Endings that match your site

    Pair your domain with readable endings like /spring-sale or /q3-report, so each address reads like part of your website.

  • Early access

    One domain on Pro

    Pro includes 1 branded domain, enough for a personal brand or a single product. It costs $9 a month billed yearly, or $12 month-to-month.

  • Early access

    Five domains on Team

    Team includes 5 branded domains, plus shared workspaces with roles and permissions. It costs $29 a month billed yearly, with 5 seats included.

Setup

What you’ll need to connect a domain

You’ll need access to your domain’s DNS settings, because a DNS record will point the domain at Blinkhop. The domain stays with your current registrar, and the exact record will be documented when accounts open.

  • A domain or subdomain you control
  • A short hostname, for short links
  • A hostname your website doesn’t already use
  • A Pro account (1 domain) or a Team account (5)

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can I use my own domain for short links?

Yes. Branded domains are part of accounts, which are in early access, so they aren’t available yet. Sign up on the pricing page to be told when they are.

Do I need a paid plan for a branded domain?

Yes. Pro includes 1 branded domain at $9 a month billed yearly ($12 month-to-month), and Team includes 5 at $29 a month billed yearly ($36 month-to-month). Both are in early access, and nothing is billed today.

How do I connect my domain?

Through DNS: wherever you manage the domain, you’ll add a record that points it at Blinkhop. Step-by-step instructions will be published when accounts open.

Should I use a subdomain like go.yourbrand.com?

It’s a common choice: a short subdomain keeps links compact and leaves your main website alone. Pick a hostname you don’t use for anything else.

Can I keep using zou.sh links?

Yes. zou.sh links work today without an account and never expire, so the links you share now keep working after accounts open.
