Assigning Custom Domains

Use custom domains to create branded tracking links that build trust with your audience.

Prerequisites

Before assigning a custom domain to a link:

1. Add and verify the custom domain in the Custom Domains section

2. Complete DNS configuration

3. Wait for SSL certificate provisioning

4. Ensure domain status shows as "Active"

Assigning a Domain

To assign a custom domain to a tracking link:

1. Open the link creation or edit form

2. Find the "Custom Domain" dropdown

3. Select your configured domain from the list

4. Save the link

Your tracking URL will now use the selected custom domain:

• Before: https://[username].clickervolt.com/summer-sale

• After: https://yourdomain.com/summer-sale

Using Multiple Domains

You can configure multiple custom domains and assign different domains to different links. This is useful for:

• Separating client campaigns

• Running different brands or offers

• A/B testing domain credibility

• Organizing campaigns by traffic source

Understanding Domain Selection

The custom domain dropdown in the link form is for convenience when copying your tracking URL. However, your links will work with ANY of your configured custom domains or your default domain.

This means you can:

• Copy a link URL and manually change the domain to any of your custom domains

• Use your default domain ([username].clickervolt.com) even if you selected a custom domain

• Share the same link with different domains - they all work

The domain you select in the form simply determines which URL is displayed when you copy the link.

Default Domain

If you don't select a custom domain, links will use your default ClickerVolt domain ([username].clickervolt.com). This works immediately without any setup.

Advanced Topics

Domain Cost

Custom domains cost $1 per month per domain. You can add as many domains as needed, and billing is automatically calculated based on active domains.

SSL Certificates

All custom domains automatically get free SSL certificates. This ensures your tracking links use HTTPS for security and trust.

Removing a Domain

If you remove a custom domain:

• The domain stops redirecting immediately

• Links in the database are updated (custom_domain_id set to null)

• Your links will still work using your default domain ([username].clickervolt.com)

• Update your campaigns to use your default domain or a different custom domain before removing

Domain Reputation

Keep your custom domains in good standing by only using them for legitimate marketing. Spam or abuse can result in domain blacklisting by ad platforms.
