You can use your own domain with Rally.so’s link-shortening service by updating your DNS settings. This allows you to create branded short links while still using Rally’s powerful tracking and analytics.
Method 1: Using a CNAME Record (Recommended for Subdomains)
If you want to use a subdomain (e.g., links.yourwebsite.com), follow these steps:
Choose Your Subdomain – Pick a subdomain like
links.yourwebsite.comto use for your short links.Update Your DNS Settings – In your domain provider’s settings, add a CNAME record:
Host/Name: The subdomain you want to use (e.g.,
links).Type: CNAME
Value/Target:
rally.so
Save and Wait – DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours to update.
Verify on Rally.so – Go to your Rally.so dashboard, enter your custom domain, and save your settings.
Once set up, your custom links will now use your subdomain instead of Rally.so’s default links. 🚀
Method 2: Using an A Record (For Root Domains)
If you want to use your entire domain (e.g., yourwebsite.com) for short links, follow these steps:
Update Your DNS Settings – In your domain provider’s settings, add an A record:
Host/Name:
@(or leave blank, depending on your DNS provider).Type: A
Value/Target: (Check your Rally.so dashboard for the correct IP address.)
Save and Wait – A record changes may take longer to update, typically up to 24 hours.
Verify on Rally.so – Go to your Rally.so dashboard, enter your domain, and save your settings.
This method allows you to use your entire domain for link shortening, but it’s only recommended if you don’t need the domain for a website or other services.
Which Method Should You Use?
Use Method 1 (CNAME) if you want to keep your main website and just use a subdomain for short links.
Use Method 2 (A Record) if you want the entire domain to be dedicated to short links and don’t need it for a website.
Once set up, your custom links will be branded with your domain, making them more professional and recognizable. 🚀
