Custom domains

#Why

A shared host is a shared reputation. With no domain of your own, your page goes live straight away on a shared address, like yourname on one of our link domains. One address shared by everyone is the risk, so we spread creators across many small ones, cap each one, check them daily, and move you in a tap if one is ever flagged.

Your own domain removes the neighbours entirely: a report against somebody else's page cannot touch yours, and it looks like yours because it is. It is the safest place for your link, on every plan including Starter, and one tap from the Domains screen. When a page moves to its own domain, its old shared address says the page has moved and does not forward.

#Buying one

Search on the Domains page of the dashboard. The confirm screen shows the yearly price, the renewal date and the terms, and asks the registrar before any card is taken. Once paid we register it, point it and put your page on it, usually within the hour.

A domain is not included in any plan; the shared address is. A domain is a yearly charge on top of your plan, the same price every year: at what the registrar charges us on Creator and above, and at the published price on Starter. The Domains screen shows the date it was registered, the date it renews and the price, with a switch to turn renewal off.

A name bought here is held for you by FBM Management LTD. Ask and we move it into your own name, free, once the registry's 60 day lock after registration has passed.

#Bringing your own

Add the name on the Domains page of the dashboard. It shows the exact record to add at your registrar and checks for it. Once it resolves, the page serves on the new name. A page that used to live on peekin.click, or on a shared address, does not forward from its old address: it says the page has moved, so a flag on the shared address cannot follow you. Change the link in your bio to the new domain.
