Add and Verify a Custom Domain

Updated 2026-06-14
The short answer
Go to Dashboard, Settings, Custom Domains. Type your domain and select Add. VLVTN shows a CNAME record and a TXT verification record. Create both at your DNS provider, then select Verify. The status changes from Pending verification to Verified. This requires a Pro plan.

Add and verify your domain

Note
Custom domains require a Pro plan. On a non-Pro plan the Custom Domains controls are gated behind a Pro badge.
  1. Open Custom Domains
    Go to Dashboard, Settings. Find the Custom Domains section.
  2. Add your domain
    Type your domain in the field, placeholder yourdomain.com, and select Add.
  3. Create the CNAME record
    VLVTN shows a CNAME record. Create it at your DNS provider with the host set to your domain and the value cname.vercel-dns.com.
  4. Create the TXT verification record
    VLVTN also shows a TXT verification record. Create it with the host _vlvtn-verify.yourdomain and the value being the verification token shown.
  5. Verify
    Select Verify. The button reads Checking while it runs. The status badge reads Pending verification until the TXT record is found, then Verified.
Tip
DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate. If Verify does not succeed right away, wait and run it again.

After verification

A custom domain is an account-level setting, so there is no per-link domain picker in the editor. Once verified, your VLVTN links are reachable on your domain automatically.

Frequently asked

What DNS records do I create?

Two. A CNAME with host set to your domain and value cname.vercel-dns.com, and a TXT verification record with host _vlvtn-verify.yourdomain and the value being the verification token VLVTN shows you.

What does the Verify button check?

It checks the TXT verification record. The button reads Checking while it runs. Until the record is found the status badge reads Pending verification in yellow, and once found it reads Verified in green.

How long before it verifies?

DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate. If Verify does not succeed right away, wait and try again.

How do I remove a domain?
