Brand recall in the bio
A memorable domain beats a random path on every social profile.
Custom domain SSL
Brand URLs with custom domain & SSL
Move biolinks and AI sites off generic paths. Appifio custom domain + SSL keeps campaigns looking trustworthy in ads and bios.
Why domain matters commercially
Trust and recall - DNS steps stay in docs.
SSL by default expectation
Browsers and ad platforms expect HTTPS - ship it with the domain.
Works across products
Point domains at biolink hubs or Creator sites as you grow.
Cleaner ad destinations
Paid traffic lands on URLs that look like your brand.
Ready for SEO later
Own the hostname before you invest in content clusters.
Team handoff friendly
Docs cover DNS/SSL so marketing and IT can finish together.
Custom domains & SSL
A custom domain lets Biolink, Website AI/apps, and short links appear on your brand domain instead of appifio.com. Point DNS to Appifio and enable HTTPS (Cloudflare recommended).
Domains capabilities
From the custom domain management guide.
Add a domain
Domains → Pending until an admin approves.
DNS
A @ → 51.79.248.39; optional CNAME www → apex; typically 24–48 hours.
Cloudflare SSL

Keep the apex and unknown paths on the brand domain.

Plan limits
FREE 1 · GOLD 2 · DIAMOND 10 custom domains.
A good fit when
- Brands need a professional address bar.
- Sites/microsites where SEO and trust matter.
- Agencies managing many client domains (higher plans).
- Before deleting a domain: move links back to default — deletion can break attached Biolink/Website/App and short links.
Workflow
Buy domain → DNS → SSL → attach URLs.
Add & await approval
Add in Appifio Domains.
DNS + SSL
A/CNAME and Cloudflare Full/Strict.
Index/404 & attach links
Map URLs, then attach the domain on each biolink/site.
Edit in Creator

Frequently asked questions
“Preview unavailable” means the site is down?
Usually not: the live domain still works; the editor iframe is blocked cross-origin. Temporarily switch domain to edit.
HTTPS warnings?
Wrong SSL mode, expired cert, missing subdomain, or mixed content — prefer Cloudflare Full/Strict.
Delete a custom domain?
It can break attached pages — move links back to appifio.com first.
