# Custom Domains

> Serve your Grovs links from your own branded subdomain, with SSL included.

Source: https://docs.grovs.io/docs/links/custom-domains

A custom domain replaces the default `*.sqd.link` host with a subdomain you own, such as `links.acme.com`. It requires an active paid subscription; see [Plans and billing](#plans-and-billing).

## Where to find it

Go to **Links → Link Settings → Domain**. It offers two options:

| Action                            | What it does                                                                                        | Guide                                                                                            |

| **Use your own subdomain**        | Serve new links from a branded subdomain you control.                                               | [Use your own subdomain](https://docs.grovs.io/docs/links/custom-domains/use-your-own-subdomain) |
| **Migrate from another platform** | Move a Branch or AppsFlyer subdomain to Grovs so old links keep working. Also requires a paid plan. | [Migration guides](https://docs.grovs.io/docs/migration-guides)                                  |

## How it works

The subdomain attaches to your project through Cloudflare for SaaS.

- **SSL is included.** Grovs issues the certificate through DNS (TXT) validation, before any traffic moves.
- **No downtime.** Links keep resolving on their current host until DNS points the new hostname at Grovs.
- **Automatic fallback.** New links resolve on your host. If you remove it, links fall back to your `*.sqd.link` subdomain.

## Plans and billing

Without an eligible plan, the dashboard shows "Using your own subdomain requires a paid plan." Click **View plans** or open **Settings → Usage & Billing** to subscribe, then return to **Links → Link Settings → Domain**. **Contact us** in the same dialog answers plan questions.

> **Warning:** If your subscription lapses, you have a 7-day grace period. After it, Grovs removes the domain and links fall back to your `*.sqd.link` subdomain.
