Domains

A custom domain
for your OnlyFans link.

By the peekin team. Updated . 4 minute read.

The short answer

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

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

Choosing an extension

The extension is the part after the dot. It affects price, how the address reads, and how filters see it.

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

Each of these is easy to avoid at the start and annoying to fix later.

Questions

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.
