7lnk.com/abc123
How it works:
Absolutely! 7lnk offers several customization options:
- Custom Alias: Instead of
7lnk.com/x8k2m, use7lnk.com/my-promo - Custom Domain (Enterprise): Use your own domain like
links.yourbrand.com/sale
Alias rules:
- 3-50 characters long
- Letters, numbers, and hyphens only
- Must be unique (not already taken)
- Case-insensitive (MyLink = mylink)
