Why You Need a Custom Domain for Your Links

The Shared Domain Problem

Most link-in-bio tools use a shared domain — and that is a risk most creators do not think about.

What Happens with Shared Domains

When you use Linktree, Beacons, or most other link-in-bio tools, your link shares a domain with millions of other users. If that domain gets a bad reputation, your link gets caught in the crossfire.

Real Examples

Linktree links have been mass-restricted on Instagram, and other shared-domain tools have seen domain-level blocking. Creators who followed every rule were punished because of others on the same domain.

The Custom Domain Solution

With your own domain, your reputation is entirely your own. No other users can affect your link's standing. Social platforms evaluate your domain independently.

Additional Benefits

Professional appearance, better memorability, brand consistency, and SEO authority that builds over time.
