Custom Domains Guide
Everything you need to know about connecting your own domains to myllma.com.
Our Infrastructure
myllma.com uses Cloudflare for SaaS to provide high-performance, secure, and globally distributed link redirection. This infrastructure allows us to automatically manage SSL certificates and protect your links from DDoS attacks.
Apex Domain Limitation
Due to the technical limitations of DNS and our current infrastructure, we cannot support apex domains (e.g., example.com) unless that domain is also managed through the Cloudflare infrastructure.
Standard DNS providers do not allow CNAME records on the root (apex) of a domain, which is required for our automatic SSL and routing setup.
Recommended Setup: Subdomains
To ensure the most reliable and easiest setup, we strongly recommend using a subdomain for your shortened links. Common examples include:
- links.yourdomain.com
- go.yourdomain.com
- hub.yourdomain.com
Using Apex Domains on other DNS providers
Some third-party DNS providers (such as Namecheap, DNSMadeEasy, or GoDaddy) offer special record types like ANAME or ALIAS records. These records attempt to provide CNAME-like functionality at the apex level.
If you choose to attempt this, you should point your ANAME/ALIAS record to myllma.com. However, we still recommend a subdomain for the best compatibility and performance.
