We're excited to share that we have partnered with Nova Registry to offer a 1-year free .link domain to Dub users.
This is a great way to get started with custom domains and create short links that match your brand, which gives you better brand recognition and improves click-through rates.
How to get a free .link domain
To get a free .link domain, you need to have a paid plan on Dub (Pro plan or above). Once you have a paid plan, you can claim your free .link domain by following these steps:
Go to your workspace domain settings. Here you'll see a banner prompting you to claim your free .link domain.
Alternatively, if you've dismissed the banner before, you can click on Add Domain and then click on the Claim your free .link domain button.
You can also claim your free .link domain directly in the onboarding flow:
Next, search for the .link domain that you want to claim. If the domain is unavailable, you'll see a list of alternate domains that you can choose from:
If the domain is available, you'll see a Claim domain button. Click on the button to claim your free .link domain.
Once your domain is claimed, it'll show up on your domain dashboard with a Provisioned by Dub banner – as well as an amber Provisioning badge while your domain is being registered behind the scenes.
Once the domain is provisioned, you'll see a green Active badge next to your domain. This means that your domain is ready to use.
The provisioning process can anywhere between a few minutes to an hour. If your domain is not active after 1 hour, please reach out to our support team.
Terms and conditions
The free .link domain offer is subject to the following terms and conditions:
- This offer is only available to users who have a paid plan on Dub.
- Premium
.linkdomains (also known as "registry premium" domains) are not eligible for this offer. - You can only claim one free
.linkdomain per workspace. - The free
.linkdomain offer lasts for exactly 1 year from the date of claim. A month before the end of the 1-year period, we'll send you an email prompting you to renew your domain – during which you can choose to pay the renewal fee to keep your domain, or let it expire. - After the free first year period, the renewal fee will be $12/year ($1/month billed yearly).
- If you cancel your plan, your existing
.linkdomain and links will still work, but you will no longer be able to create new links with it. In this case, we also reserve the right to reassign your.linkdomain to another paying Dub user. - You cannot transfer your free
.linkdomain to another workspace. - You can only transfer your free
.linkdomain to another registrar after a 1-year minimum commitment to Dub's paid plans.
