Page on the dashboard: dashboard.biolovers.site/dashboard/edit/profile/url
biolovers.site/yourname still works. This is an extra link, not a replacement.
What you need
- Premium
- A domain you already own (we do not sell domains)
- A few minutes
links.yourdomain.com. Using the main name yourdomain.com also works.
Steps
1
Type the domain in the dashboard
Sign in and open Domain & URL. Under Your own domain, type
yourdomain.com (or links.yourdomain.com) and click Use this domain.2
Add a CNAME where you bought the domain
Open DNS for that domain (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.). Add a CNAME. Copy Name and Target from the dashboard. Paste them as-is.yourdomain.com
links.yourdomain.com
Leave TTL on Auto. Do not type quotes. Do not type
https://. Do not leave a space in front of the target.Cloudflare: click the orange cloud so it turns grey (DNS only). If you leave it orange, Cloudflare shows error 1014 and the page will not load.Cloudflare

Check DNS
Back on the dashboard, click Check DNS. If it is not ready, wait a minute and click again. Usually under five minutes.

Wait for the lock icon
After DNS is found, the secure padlock in the browser can take a few more minutes. The panel says Live when it is ready. Leave the tab open — it refreshes by itself.
If Check DNS still fails
- Target must be exactly
cname.biolovers.site— no quotes, nohttps://, no extra space. - On Cloudflare the cloud must be grey, not orange. Orange = error 1014.
- If you already have an A record on the same name (
@orlinks), delete that A record first. You cannot have both. - The dashboard also shows a TXT name and value. Add that only if the CNAME still does not go through.
After it is live
- Share
https://yourdomain.com/— that is the whole link. - Opening
https://yourdomain.com/yournamesends people to/. - Comments still need you signed in on biolovers.site. Reading comments on yourdomain.com still works.
- Change or remove the domain any time in the same panel.
