Domains

Adding domains, the domain list, block checks, subdomains and deletion.

A domain is the address your links work on, for example example.com/promo. You buy domains from a registrar or get ready-made ones from sellers — see Where to get domains.

Connect a domain

Point the domain to the server

In your registrar's panel or in Cloudflare, open the domain's DNS records and add an A record with your server's IP:

TypeNameValue
A@203.0.113.10 — the server IP from Servers
Awwwthe same IP, if you need addresses with www.
A*the same IP, if you need subdomains

Registrar guides: REG.RU, RU-CENTER, Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare. A DNS update usually takes from a few minutes to a couple of hours.

Add the domain to the dashboard

Open Domains → Add Domains and paste the domains one per line — up to 500 at a time. The dashboard removes https://, www. and a trailing slash by itself.

Check the result

The dashboard checks each domain and adds the ones that respond through your server and are not blocked on the selected platforms. If a domain was not added, the Result column shows the reason; click the row to see details. What to do about it is in troubleshooting. After you fix DNS, click Back — retry with same list.

Domain list

  • A lock next to the name means HTTPS works on the domain.
  • Bans shows the results of checks in VK, Google and Yandex: a green icon means the domain is clean, a gray one means it has not been checked.
  • The SSL Active, Clean and Blocked segments quickly filter domains by state.
  • In a domain's row: the shield checks the domain, the chain creates a link on it.
  • Top right: check history, export of the domain list to a text file, and the trash.

Block checks

The dashboard checks whether a domain is blocked in VK, Google Safe Browsing and Yandex Safe Browsing. For this, enter the platforms' API tokens in Settings → API & Tokens → External API Tokens. Where to get them:

  • VK — open vkhost.github.io, click Allow, sign in to VK and copy the token from the address bar — it starts with vk1.a.;
  • Yandex Safe Browsing — get a key in the Yandex developer dashboard;
  • Google Safe Browsing — in Google Cloud Console, create a project, enable Safe Browsing API and create an API key under Credentials.

Domains are checked when you add them, if you select the platforms in the Add Domains window, and manually with the Check button in the list. If Telegram is connected in the dashboard and Block Check Notifications is on in Settings → Notifications, new domains (up to 20 days old) are checked in VK every hour, and you get a Telegram message about a block.

Domains that are blocked or unavailable on a repeat check are moved to the trash. Their links keep working, but clicks from the platform that blocked the domain are lost — move the links to a new domain.

Domain template

When adding domains, you can select a template: each domain immediately gets a link without a slug after /, so the domain opens at its bare address. If the domain already has such a link, it switches to the selected template; other links do not change. Only templates with a destination address are listed.

Domains from sellers

A domain bought from a seller is added with an activation code in the same Add Domains window: paste the code on its own line or after the domain, separated by a space. How these domains differ from your own is covered in Where to get domains.

Subdomains

You can add a subdomain as a separate domain, for example shop.example.com — it needs its own A record pointing to your server.

To make any subdomain work without adding each one, create an A record named * with the server IP in DNS. Then promo.example.com/sale opens the sale link of the example.com domain.

Changing the server

Change the A record to the new server's IP. Nothing needs to change in the dashboard: the domain keeps working with all its links as soon as DNS updates.

Deletion

Deleted domains go to the trash in the header of Domains, and their links go to the link trash. You can restore a domain from the trash within 10 days. While a domain is in the trash, it cannot be added to another account.
