Connect your own domain

Last updated October 2026

On Pro, your page can live at your own domain, like yourname.com, instead of plnk.bio/yourname. Your plnk.bio link keeps working too. It takes about five minutes of clicking, then a short wait.

How it works

  1. In plnk, open Settings, type your domain under Custom domain and click Connect.
  2. plnk shows one to three DNS records. Add them where you bought the domain (the steps for each company are below).
  3. plnk checks for you. When it works, the status turns Live and we email you. The secure connection (the lock in the address bar) is set up automatically.

Main domain or subdomain?

yourname.com (a main domain) is the usual choice if the domain is just for your page. plnk asks for A records, plus a CNAME for www (recommended) so www.yourname.com works too.

links.yourname.com (a subdomain) is the way to go if yourname.com already runs a website or shop. plnk asks for one CNAME record and your main site stays as it is.

Either way, your email keeps working: these records don't touch your email (MX) records.

Where did you buy your domain?

plnk tells you in Settings which company manages your domain. Jump to its steps:

Cloudflare

  1. Sign in to Cloudflare and open your domain.
  2. Go to DNS, then Records, and click Add record.
  3. Add each record plnk shows. Cloudflare calls the name field Name (use @ for the main domain itself), and the value field IPv4 address for A records, Target for CNAME records and Content for TXT.
  4. On every A and CNAME record, set Proxy status to DNS only (grey cloud).
  • Cloudflare turns the proxy on by default (orange cloud). Click it so it turns grey and says DNS only, or your domain can't connect.

GoDaddy

  1. Sign in to GoDaddy and open your Domain Portfolio.
  2. Choose your domain, open DNS, and click Add New Record.
  3. Add each record plnk shows. GoDaddy calls the name field Name (use @ for the main domain itself), and the value field Value.
  • GoDaddy adds a “Parked” A record for @ to every new domain. Delete it, or change its value to the one plnk shows.
  • If there's already a CNAME for www, edit it instead of adding a second one.

Namecheap

  1. Sign in to Namecheap, go to Domain List and click Manage next to your domain.
  2. Open Advanced DNS and click Add New Record.
  3. Add each record plnk shows. Namecheap calls the name field Host (use @ for the main domain itself), and the value field Value for A records, Target for CNAME records and Value for TXT.
  • Delete the records Namecheap adds by default: the CNAME for www pointing to parkingpage.namecheap.com and the URL Redirect Record for @.

Squarespace Domains

  1. Sign in to Squarespace Domains (domains bought at Google Domains live here now) and choose your domain.
  2. Open DNS, then DNS Settings, and click Add record under Custom records.
  3. Add each record plnk shows. Squarespace Domains calls the name field Host (use @ for the main domain itself), and the value field Data.
  • Connecting the main domain? Delete the Squarespace Defaults records first, or they'll get in the way.

Porkbun

  1. Sign in to Porkbun and open Domain Management.
  2. Click DNS next to your domain to open its records.
  3. Add each record plnk shows. Porkbun calls the name field Host (leave it empty for the main domain itself), and the value field Answer.
  • Delete the default records pointing to pixie.porkbun.com (the parking page) on the same host.

Hostinger

  1. Sign in to hPanel and open Domains, then Manage next to your domain.
  2. Open DNS / Nameservers to see the records.
  3. Add each record plnk shows. Hostinger calls the name field Name (use @ for the main domain itself), and the value field Points to.
  • Delete the A record for @ and the CNAME for www that Hostinger adds by default.

IONOS

  1. Sign in to IONOS and open Domains & SSL.
  2. Click the gear next to your domain, choose DNS, then Add record.
  3. Add each record plnk shows. IONOS calls the name field Host name (use @ for the main domain itself), and the value field Points to.
  • If IONOS warns that the record conflicts with an existing one, let it replace the old record.

Wix

  1. Sign in to Wix and open Domains.
  2. Click the three dots next to your domain and choose Manage DNS Records.
  3. Add each record plnk shows. Wix calls the name field Host Name (leave it empty for the main domain itself), and the value field Value.
  • Edit the existing A record (it points to your Wix site) instead of adding a second one.

NameSilo

  1. Sign in to NameSilo and open Domain Manager.
  2. Click the blue globe (Manage DNS) next to your domain.
  3. Add each record plnk shows. NameSilo calls the name field Hostname (leave it empty for the main domain itself), and the value field Value.
  • Delete the parking records NameSilo adds for new domains first.

Name.com

  1. Sign in to Name.com and open My Domains.
  2. Choose your domain, then Manage DNS Records.
  3. Add each record plnk shows. Name.com calls the name field Host (leave it empty for the main domain itself), and the value field Answer.

Amazon Route 53

  1. Open Route 53 in the AWS console, then Hosted zones.
  2. Choose your domain and click Create record.
  3. Add each record plnk shows. Amazon Route 53 calls the name field Record name (leave it empty for the main domain itself), and the value field Value.

DigitalOcean

  1. Open Networking, then Domains, in DigitalOcean.
  2. Choose your domain to add records.
  3. Add each record plnk shows. DigitalOcean calls the name field Hostname (use @ for the main domain itself), and the value field Will direct to for A records, Is an alias of for CNAME records and Value for TXT.

Any other provider

  1. Sign in where you bought the domain and look for DNS, DNS settings, DNS records or Zone editor.
  2. Add each record plnk shows, with the same type, name and value. The name field may be called Name, Host or Hostname, and the value field Value, Points to, Target or Answer.
  3. “@” means the main domain itself. If your provider won't accept @, leave the name empty.
  4. Type the name exactly as shown (like links). Providers add .yourname.com by themselves.

If it doesn't work

  • It's been a few minutes. New records usually work within minutes, but some providers take a few hours, and in rare cases up to two days. You can close the page; we keep checking and email you.
  • plnk says there's an old record. New domains often come with a “parked” record pointing to the provider's placeholder page. Delete it: two records for the same name fight each other.
  • plnk mentions an IPv6 (AAAA) record. Some providers add one for their parking page. Delete it: plnk only needs the A records, and the old one sends some visitors to the wrong place.
  • plnk mentions a CAA record. It limits which companies may issue your domain's security certificate. Delete it, or add one more CAA record: name @, tag issue, value letsencrypt.org.
  • You use Cloudflare. Set each record's proxy status to DNS only (grey cloud).
  • The browser says “not secure”. The secure connection is set up in the first few minutes after the domain goes live. Wait a little and reload.
  • plnk asks for a TXT record. The domain was used on another website before. The TXT record proves it's yours; add it like the others.
  • Still stuck? Send us a message with your domain and we'll look at it.

Removing a domain

In Settings, click Remove domain. Your page keeps working at plnk.bio/yourname. You can delete the records at your provider afterwards. If you go back to Free, your domain forwards visitors to your plnk.biolink until you're on Pro again, with nothing to change in your DNS.
