Use your custom domain for white label link shortening in Vista Social

You can set up a white-label option if you'd prefer to use your own custom domain instead of our Vist.ly domain or a Bitly shortener for your profile group. 

CNAME or A Record changes for your domain

To start, you should modify your domain DNS to set up either an A Record or CNAME.

For a root domain (mydomain.com), you'll want to use an A Record pointed to 

http://204.236.244.139/

For a subdomain (short.mydomain.com), you'll want to use a CNAME pointed to 

vist.ly

If you're not sure how to modify your DNS, most domain registrars can help guide you. Here are a few guides from more common domain name providers:

• Godaddy: Setting up an A Record | Setting up a CNAME
• Namecheap: Setting up an A Record | Setting up a CNAME

Adding the domain to profile group settings

After you've set up your DNS, you can head to your profile group's settings to add your domain.

1. Go to Settings → Profile Groups.

   

2. Click on your profile group's action icon and click Edit

   

3. In the link shortening section, choose White label shortener and type in your domain or subdomain

   

4. Once you've completed this step, get in touch with our support team so we can install an SSL certificate for you to start posting links.

That's it! Your link posts will automatically be published with your white-label shortener domain.
