Yes, it's possible.

However, before you begin, please make sure you have followed the instructions on How to setup a subdomain for short links.

To add www to your subdomain

  1. Go to your domain registrar and add a CNAME record as follows:

    • Host: www . <your-subdomain-name>

    • Type: CNAME

    • Value: cname.short.io

    For example:

Important note:

  • If the domain is Inactive in Short.io then wait for a few hours and click on Refresh to check if the status has changed

  • In order to reissue your SSL certificate (to include the www version as well), please contact the Short.io support team

Hereafter, the links you shorten using this subdomain can be accessed in one of two ways: either with or without "www" at the beginning.
