Key features

Your domain, your brand

🔖

Human-readable slugs

Choose descriptive slugs: /summer-sale, /careers, /demo-call. Branded + readable links build trust and are easier to remember and say out loud.

Frequently asked questions

What is a branded URL shortener?
A branded URL shortener uses your own domain (go.yourbrand.com) instead of a generic domain (bit.ly, tinyurl.com). Branded links look more professional, increase click-through rates, and reinforce your brand every time someone sees the link.
How do I set up a branded URL shortener with Meshalive?
Create a free Meshalive account, go to Settings → Domains, add your domain (e.g. go.yourbrand.com), and update your DNS CNAME record to point to Meshalive. SSL is provisioned automatically. All new links you create can use your branded domain.
Can I have multiple branded domains on one account?
Yes. Meshalive supports unlimited custom domains on a single account, all free. This is particularly useful for agencies managing multiple client brands or companies with multiple product lines.
Do branded links perform better than generic short links?
Yes. Studies show branded short links have 34% higher click-through rates than generic short links (bit.ly, tinyurl.com) because recipients recognize the brand and trust the link before clicking.
Can I use Meshalive for white-label URL shortening?
Yes. By connecting your own domain, all links appear to come from your brand. There is no Meshalive branding visible to the end user who clicks the link. The redirect is seamless and instant.
