Buy, Connect, or Use a Domain Path: Picking the Right Domain Option

Three Ways to Use a Domain

LinkHaven gives you three ways to put a landing page on a domain — like yourname.com instead of its starter LinkHaven URL. Pick the one that matches what you have today.

Buy a New Domain

You pick a name in your dashboard, pay for it, and we register it for you. Setup is fully automatic — no DNS records to configure, no other accounts to manage.

Choose this if: you don't already own the domain you want, and you'd rather not manage it elsewhere.

See: How to Buy a Domain.

Connect a Domain You Already Own

You keep the domain at your current registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Squarespace, or wherever you bought it). LinkHaven walks you through it: for most registrars you change your nameservers to the two LinkHaven gives you, and LinkHaven sets up the rest — no CNAME or other DNS records to add. Domains registered with Cloudflare can't change nameservers, so they get a short list of DNS records to add instead.

Choose this if: you already own a domain you want to use, and you want to keep paying your registrar directly.

See: How to Connect a Domain You Already Own.

Use a Domain Path (Agency Pro)

If a domain is already in LinkHaven and you want another landing page on it (for example yourdomain.com/vip), use Use a domain path instead of connecting it again. It's an Agency Pro feature.

Choose this if: you want several landing pages on one domain and accept the trade-off. Landing pages on one domain share one reputation — a flag on one can affect them all — so we recommend a separate domain for each landing page, and never a domain path for ads. See Domain Paths: Several Landing Pages on One Domain.

What Happens Next

After you choose an option, the dashboard walks you through it step by step. The status indicator on your domain card turns green when your domain is live and ready for visitors.
