Free .link domain offer on Dub

Learn how to get a 1-year free .link domain on Dub to create short links that match your brand and improve click-through rates.

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:

1. Go to your workspace domain settings

   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:

   
2. Search for your .link domain

   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.

   
3. Claim your domain and wait for it to be provisioned

   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 take 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:

1. This offer is only available to users who have a paid plan on Dub.
2. Premium .link domains (also known as “registry premium” domains) are not eligible for this offer.
3. You can only claim one free .link domain per workspace.
4. The free .link domain 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.
5. After the free first year period, the renewal fee will be $12/year ($1/month billed yearly).
6. If you cancel your plan, your existing .link domain 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 .link domain to another paying Dub user.
7. We do not currently support transferring your free .link domain to another registrar at the moment, but we’re planning to add the ability to do so after your first free year.
