Here we also provided a clear-cut guide for the add domain and if you want guidance related to add domain do click on How it works.
Implementing a personalized domain name to your website can take 24 to 48 hours, depending on the DNS propagation time. DNS propagation is the length it takes for DNS changes to propagate between all human-readable DNS servers. Name servers store information about domain hosts in their cache, which is why the procedure isn't instantaneous. Before adding a new domain, make sure your A record is pointing to our server using the following details: [Type: A], [Name: empty or @ or subdomain], and [Value: xx.xxx.xxx.xx]
The Domain will execute with your desired name format such as we have “http://domaindemo.com”. To quote an instance “http://demodemo.com/QreTds” or “http://demodemo.com/JKyutD”.
Custom 404:
When your shortened URL may get deleted or updated then it is possible that it will redirect you to a 404 error by default.
You can also configure a custom 404 and it will directly open your desired link which you mentioned here.
Custom Redirect URL:
If you want the user to redirect to your desired destination rather than URLS.ie’s default page then you should make sure to enter a custom redirect URL. Suppose your URL is demo.URL.com and you add https://demourl.co.in then every user who visits the site will be redirected here.
When you successfully add your domain in URLS.ie. It will show you the "unverified" tag in your domain. Don't worry when you point your domain or subdomain to our IP address it will take 24 hours to 72 hours for the complete redirect.
If your domains are Unverified then these are the possible reasons:
1. Your domain's DNS A record is not pointing to our server IP Address.
2. Your domain's DNS A record is pointing to multiple IP Addresses. It must point to only one IP Address.
You can verify the ‘A’ record configuration from this reference site click here.
The system will automatically check that is your IP address is pointing towards the given address or not, and if your domain is successfully redirected to the URLS IP address, then it will display the tag as ‘Verified’ beside your domain. When your domain is "verified" then you can use your custom domain or subdomain to generate shortened links.
Note: Domain point to our server will take up to 24 to 72 hours to be set to active mode.
Still, your Domains show the status of unverified after 72 hours?
Point your domain's CNAME Record to URLS.ie and remove the ‘A’ record pointing to our IP address. Wait up to 24 hours. Your domain should be verified.
After all, when you get the Verified status for your domain, then you are applicable to make it a primary domain which will be useful when you are shortening your URL. This cross mark (❌) under the primary column shows that your domain is not yet primary.
Here you can clearly see the shortened URL with the provided primary domain by URLS.ie "https://URLS.ie.me/HwOFuM"
You are just a click away to convert your domain to a Primary domain. Begin your process by clicking on the cross mark (❌).
Now, this dialog box displays Cancel and Change It! when you click on the cross mark (❌) on the pop-up screen.
https://Demo1.com is now the primary domain with the status of (✔️) tick.
Afterward, when you use your primary Domain. Click on the Links in the left-most column and paste the URL then click on Shorten.
The result is in front of your eyes for shortened URL with the primary domain "https://Demo.com/typkWO". All the short URLs will be generated using "https://Demo.com" by default.
