Your Own Domain as Your Link in Bio — yourname.com, Not a Generic URL

A generic link-in-bio URL signals "I use someone else's platform." Your own domain signals "I'm a real brand." With GlowApp Pro you point your domain in 5 minutes.

Use my own domain
  • Professional brand
    Your URL is yourname.com or yourbrand.co.uk — not a subdomain of another platform that dilutes your credibility.
  • Free SSL
    GlowApp automatically generates and renews the HTTPS certificate for your domain at no extra cost.
  • Any registrar
    Works with GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Google Domains, Ionos or any other DNS provider.
  • No lost followers
    When you switch from glowapp.uk/yourname to your own domain, GlowApp redirects old traffic automatically.
  1. 1
    Upgrade to Pro
    Custom domains are a Pro feature. If you are on the free plan, upgrading takes under 1 minute.
  2. 2
    Add your domain in GlowApp
    Enter your domain in the "Custom domain" section of your profile. GlowApp gives you the DNS record (CNAME or A) to add.
  3. 3
    Update your DNS and wait
    Paste the record into your GoDaddy, Namecheap or registrar panel. The SSL certificate is generated automatically — usually within minutes.
Do I need to know about DNS or coding to set this up?

No. GlowApp tells you exactly which DNS record to add (type, name and value). It is copy-paste into your registrar's control panel. Step-by-step guides for GoDaddy and Namecheap are available inside GlowApp.

How long does it take to work after I configure DNS?

DNS propagation typically takes between 5 minutes and 48 hours. In most cases it works within an hour. GlowApp shows the status in real time.

Does the custom domain include free SSL/HTTPS?

Yes. GlowApp automatically provisions a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for your domain. You do not need to do anything extra or pay for a certificate.

Can I use a subdomain instead of the root domain?

Yes. You can use links.yourname.com, bio.yourname.com or any subdomain you prefer — just configure the CNAME accordingly.

What happens to visits to glowapp.uk/yourname after I activate my custom domain?

GlowApp keeps the old URL active and automatically redirects traffic to your custom domain. You do not lose any followers or saved links.
