Link in bio on the creator's own domain
A creator buys their name and wants the page on it. Connect the root or a subdomain inside your tool.
For founders and onboarding product managers at link-in-bio tools such as Beacons, Taplink and Hopp by Wix.
| Type | Host | Value | State |
|---|---|---|---|
| ALIAS | acme.com | edge.customdomain.ai | live |
| CNAME | www.acme.com | edge.customdomain.ai | pending |
What breaks today
| What breaks | What your customer sees |
|---|---|
| Cloudflare proxy left on | The orange cloud stays on, so the certificate cannot issue. |
| A root the panel cannot hold | The record is refused, and the name in the bio goes nowhere. |
| Old AAAA record at the root | Visitors on IPv6 still reach the previous host. |
| A wildcard already in place | A * record at the provider can shadow the new one. |
How CustomDomain™ handles it
| Step | What CustomDomain™ does |
|---|---|
| Asks before it connects | Your customer picks root and www, root only, or a subdomain. |
| Uses the provider's root record | Its own ALIAS-style type where it has one, A records where it does not. |
| Avoids dead ends | Offers www or a subdomain when the root cannot work at that provider. |
| Catches the usual mistakes | Proxied rows, old AAAA records and wildcards are caught by the live check, with the fix. |
| Serves HTTPS and the redirect | Growth and up The edge issues the certificate and sends the root to www with a 301. |
| Limit | On Starter and Startup, your own servers serve TLS and the www redirect. |

Common questions
Can a link-in-bio page use a custom domain?
Yes. Your customer types their domain in your tool, picks root and www, root only or a subdomain, and the widget writes or shows the records for their DNS provider.
What if the creator's provider cannot hold a root record?
The widget says so before anything is created and offers www or a subdomain instead. A www record works at every DNS provider.
Does the creator have to set up HTTPS?
No. On Growth and up, the edge issues the certificate on the first HTTPS request and renews it with no DNS access. Cloudflare rows stay DNS only.
