Frequently asked questions

How do I set up a custom domain with Meshalive?
Go to Settings → Domains in your Meshalive dashboard, click Add Domain, enter your domain name, then update your DNS CNAME record to point to Meshalive's servers. SSL is provisioned automatically within a few minutes.
Can I use a subdomain like go.mycompany.com?
Yes. You can use any subdomain or root domain. Most users use go.domain.com or links.domain.com. Root domain setup (domain.com) requires an ANAME/ALIAS record at the apex.
Is there a limit on how many custom domains I can add?
No. You can add unlimited custom domains to your Meshalive account, all free.
What happens if someone visits my custom domain directly (no slug)?
You can set a root redirect in your domain settings — any visit to go.yourbrand.com without a valid slug will redirect to your homepage or any URL you choose.
Can I create links with my custom domain via the API?
Yes. Pass your custom domain in the API request body when creating a link and the returned short URL will use your branded domain.
