Use your own domain

Point your own web address (yourshop.com) at your Linebook site — step by step. Part of the Website Builder add-on.

By default your site lives at yourshop.linebook.ink. With the Website Builder add-on you can also point your own domain — yourshop.com — at it, so your whole online presence sits on one address you own. Here's the full setup.

Custom domains are part of the Website Builder — an optional $19/mo add-on. Your booking site is always included free.

Before you start

You'll need a domain you already own, and the ability to sign in wherever you manage its DNS — your registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Squarespace, FastMail…) or wherever you bought it.
Decide which address to use: your bare domain (yourshop.com) or a subdomain (www.yourshop.com or book.yourshop.com). Both work — only the record type differs.

Add your domain

1In your console, open Website → Domains, type your domain and tap Add domain. (Domains are owner-only.)
2We show you exactly one DNS record to add. A bare domain (yourshop.com) gets an A record pointing at 76.76.21.21; a subdomain (www.…) gets a CNAME. The screen labels which value goes in your registrar's Type, Host / Name and Value fields.
3Sign in to your registrar and add that record exactly as shown, then save it.
4Back in Linebook, tap Check again. Once DNS is right we issue an HTTPS security certificate automatically — the status moves Verifying → Securing HTTPS → Live.
5When it's Live, tap Make primary to make it your main address. Your linebook.ink subdomain keeps working; the custom domain becomes the one visitors see.

Remove any conflicting records — important

A domain can only point to one place at a time. If the host already has an A record (or CNAME) — from an old website, a parked/"coming soon" page, or your registrar's defaults — you must DELETE it, leaving only the record we gave you. A leftover conflicting record is the single most common reason a domain won't connect.

Bare domain (yourshop.com): remove any existing A records on the root (host "@" or blank) and any domain forwarding/parking, keeping only the A record → 76.76.21.21 we show you.
Subdomain (www): remove any existing record on that exact host, then add only our CNAME.
NoteLeave your MX records alone — those route your email and don't affect your website. Only the A / CNAME for the web address matters here.

Give it time — and HTTPS

DNS changes usually take effect within minutes, but can take up to a few hours to spread worldwide.
Right after DNS verifies, we issue your HTTPS certificate. For a minute or two the site may show a browser "not secure" warning — that clears on its own the moment the certificate is ready. If you see it, wait a moment and refresh.
NoteUsing Cloudflare? Set the record to "DNS only" (grey cloud, proxy off) so we can verify the domain and issue its certificate.

Removing a domain

Remove a domain any time from Website → Domains. Your linebook.ink address keeps working, and you can add the domain back later.
