What Is a Custom Domain for Musicians?
A custom domain lets you host your bio page, smart links, and pre-save pages on your own URL (like yourname.com) instead of using a third-party platform's branding (like linktree.com/yourname).
Your domain is your brand on the internet. When fans see yourname.com, they know it's official. When they see linktree.com/yourname, they see Linktree's brand first and yours second.
Custom domains also build trust. Fans are more likely to click a link they recognize. In a world of scams and phishing, a clean custom domain signals legitimacy and professionalism.
Beyond branding, custom domains give you ownership. If you ever switch platforms, your URL stays the same. Fans who bookmarked your page, search engines that indexed your content — none of that is lost when you move.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy a domain separately?
