A custom domain lets short links use a domain your audience recognizes. Goose.re currently allows one custom domain on Free teams and up to 25 on Enterprise teams.
1. Add the domain
Open Custom Domains, choose Add domain, and enter a domain or subdomain you control. A dedicated subdomain such as go.example.com is usually easier to manage than a domain already serving a website.
2. Copy the DNS target shown in Goose.re
Create the CNAME record requested by the Custom Domains screen. Use the exact target displayed there because it can differ between environments. If the domain must use address records instead, it needs to resolve to the same server addresses as the configured Goose.re domain.
3. Wait for DNS and verify
DNS changes are cached and do not appear everywhere at the same time. Return to Goose.re and run verification after your provider shows the record. A failed verification means the expected CNAME or matching server address was not visible yet.
4. Provision HTTPS
After DNS verification, Goose.re asks the server to configure the domain and obtain its TLS certificate. The domain becomes active when that step succeeds. If certificate provisioning fails, the domain screen exposes the status and a retry action.
5. Create a branded link
Select the verified domain while creating a link. Test the final HTTPS URL before printing or distributing it, and keep the DNS record in place for as long as the links must work.
