BIT.LY
Everyone hates long URLS specially the ones with a lot
of cryptic url parameters. It’s long, nondescriptive, and
difficult to remember. You’ll also have a hard time
posting these long urls on social sites with “character
limits” as it will surely eat all of your character
bandwidth before you can even post your actual
content.
.
Upon signing up and purchasing your custom domain from
name cheap, you are now able to view all of your purchased
domain names on your dashboard. Click on the manage
button to setup your custom domain. This is where we will
assign the necessary DNS servers so that bit.ly can start
using it.
On the manage page, find the
NAMESERVERS settings uption and change
it from Namecheap BasicDNS to Custom DNS.
Input the DNS servers listed on your bit.ly branded
domains settings page. It will then propagate to bit.ly
servers and sometimes it takes 2448 hours to be fully
setup. To verify if your custom domain is now usable, head
over to your bit.ly dashboard and under SETTINGS >
ADVANCED SETTINGS > BRANDED DOMAINS, enter
your own custom domain on the field provided and click
VERIFY DOMAIN.
Once verified, you will see something similar
above. Congratulations! You can now start using
your branded bit.ly links!
