Use your own domain
Custom domains are available on Pro and Max. You must already own the domain or subdomain you want to connect.1
Open domain settings
Go to Settings → Domain and select Manage domain.
2
Enter your hostname
Use a hostname such as
links.yourdomain.com. Do not include https:// or a path.3
Copy the DNS record
Bento shows the CNAME target your DNS provider needs.
4
Update DNS
Add or replace the CNAME record at your domain provider.
5
Check DNS
Return to Bento and select Check DNS. Bento verifies the hostname and requests its SSL
certificate.
6
Wait for activation
DNS and certificate issuance can take time. The domain only serves your page after both are
active.
Common DNS mistakes
- Entering a full URL instead of only the hostname
- Adding the CNAME to the wrong DNS zone
- Leaving another A, AAAA, or CNAME record on the same hostname
- Using a proxy or redirect service that prevents validation
