A custom domain
for your OnlyFans link.
By the peekin team. Updated . 4 minute read.
A custom domain is an address you own, such as yourname.link, that points at your link page. It gives your bio link a record of its own instead of a shared one, and lets you change provider without changing the link. It does not, on its own, hide your paid link or protect your account.
What a custom domain is
Normally a link page lives on the provider's address, with your name after it. A custom domain replaces that with an address you own. Fans see yourname.link instead of a service name. Behind the scenes it still shows the same link page.
You can point an OnlyFans address straight at your own domain, but most creators do not. They point the domain at a link page, and the link page holds the OnlyFans link along with everything else.
Why creators bother
- Reputation. A shared domain carries the record of everyone on it. Your own domain carries only yours. See shared link domains explained.
- Portability. If you change link page provider, you point the domain at the new one. Every link you have ever posted keeps working.
- Trust. A personal address looks more like you and less like a service. Fans are more willing to tap it.
- Control. If one provider closes your page, you still own the address and can put a page back up elsewhere.
What it does not do
A domain changes the address. It does not change the page. If your link page writes the OnlyFans address into its HTML, it does that on your own domain too. A crawler will still read it.
It also does nothing about your photos, captions or posting habits. Use a domain together with a page that keeps the destination out of its code. One without the other fixes half the problem.
Choosing a name
- Use your stage name, or a short version of it. Fans should be able to type it from memory.
- Avoid words that describe adult content. The domain shows on your profile as text.
- Avoid the platform's name. Using a brand like OnlyFans in your domain can also break that platform's trademark rules.
- Keep it short. Fewer letters means fewer typos.
- Avoid hyphens and numbers unless your name already has them.
Choosing an extension
The extension is the part after the dot. It affects price, how the address reads, and how filters see it.
- .link reads as exactly what it is, and is cheap to renew.
- .com is what people expect, if your name is free.
- .page and .me read as personal.
- .bio reads well for a bio link but costs far more to renew than most.
Avoid extensions that announce adult content, such as .xxx, .sex, .cam or .fans. They tell every filter what the page is before it is even fetched. We do not sell .cam or .fans for that reason.
Always check the renewal price, not just the first year. Some extensions are cheap to buy and expensive to keep. Our guide on buying a domain for your link page covers this.
Connecting it
If you already own a domain, connecting it usually means adding one or two DNS records at your registrar. Your link page provider tells you exactly what to add and checks that it worked.
On peekin, connecting a domain you own is free on every plan. Buying one here costs from £7 a year on Creator and above, at what the registrar charges us, and from £14 on Starter. We point it, issue the certificate and put your page on it. A name bought here is held for you and moved into your own name, free, when you ask, once the registry's 60 day lock has passed.
Starter is £3.99 a month, Creator £9.99, Pro £19.99, and Agency £39 a month for 3 creators, then £12 each.
Common mistakes
- Buying the domain in your legal name with privacy turned off, which connects your stage name to your real one.
- Letting it expire. An expired domain stops working and can be bought by somebody else.
- Picking an extension that is cheap for one year and expensive after.
- Pointing the domain straight at the paid platform, which puts the association back in one hop.
- Using one domain for several creators, so one problem affects all of them.
Each of these is easy to avoid at the start and annoying to fix later.
Asked most often.
Do I need a custom domain for OnlyFans?
You do not need one, but it removes the shared-address signal and makes your link portable. Most creators who rely on the link for income find it worth the yearly cost.
Can I use my own domain with any link page?
Many link page services support custom domains, often on a paid plan. Check that the page itself keeps your paid address out of its code, or the domain only fixes half the problem.
What is the best extension for a bio link?
One that is short, renews at a fair price and does not describe adult content. .link and .com are safe defaults.
Check your own page first
The scanner reads any link page the way Meta's crawler does and runs nine checks. It is free and needs no account. If you want a page built this way, the plans start at the price on the pricing page.
