What are branded short domains?

A host you already own - used for short links - so recipients see your brand before they decide to click.

A branded short domain is a hostname people recognize - often a short domain or a subdomain like go.yourbrand.com - used as the front of your short links instead of a generic shortener host.

no-referer does not sell domain registration. On paid plans you bring a domain or subdomain you already own; Contact Sales walks DNS with you.

Recipients see your host before they decide to open the link.

Why teams use them

Generic short hosts can look spammy in SMS and email. A familiar host builds trust so recipients are more likely to open what you share.

How to start on no-referer

  • Own the domain or subdomain first.
  • Sign in on a paid plan and open Contact Sales.
  • Complete DNS as instructed.
  • Create links that resolve on that host with the same https rules and clean redirects.
