We support connecting a custom domain to your Linkpane profile. Your Linkpane profile can be accessible via your own subdomain (Example: start.haqqman.com).

Anyone can purchase a custom domain. You can purchase a domain from our recommended domain name registrar, such as Whogohost (Nigeria & Africa) or Name (USA). When you visit our recommended or your preferred domain name registrar, you simply search for an available domain associated with your idea, product or services and pay the fees. You can't purchase just any domain, you can only purchase available domains not already owned by another person or brand and that bears a valid domain suffix. We encourage you to register a domain name that is catchy and short so that it's memorable.

In some cases you may already have an existing registered domain. Either case, read on to learn how to setup and authenticate a sub domain which will serve as a custom domain for your Linkpane profile.
