Shorten URLs and share files using your own domain

Long links look messy, and generic short links often feel untrustworthy. Create branded short links with your own domain to improve trust, increase click-through rates, and stay in full control of your URLs.

Why own your short links?

Own Your Links

If you use a third-party domain for your short URLs, you use it along with many other people and companies. Do you want your messaging to be associated with theirs? Not likely.

Besides, if your short URLs belong to a third party, you can’t do much if they expire, get blacklisted or stop working for some other reason. Sometimes you can’t even edit them. With custom domain URLs you have full control over your links and where they take your users.

Control your URLs

Build Brand Recognition

Using a custom domain instead of a third-party one makes your links look more reliable to customers, which results in higher CTRs. And it increases brand recognition too!

Owning your branded short URLs also means you will not have to worry about sending broken links again. If you find out something is not working, you can fix it on the fly.

Branding

Analyze Link Data

Your links should tell you what is working. Yohn gives you clear analytics for branded short links and QR redirects, so you can understand engagement and improve campaigns.

Learn who clicks your links and when, where and how they do it, without sending customers through generic third-party shortener domains.

Need a single short QR redirect for printed materials, presentations, or virtual backgrounds? See our dynamic QR codes with yo.hn links.

Analytics

Use Short URLs in Social Media

People don’t like long texts on social networks. In some cases there’s also a character limit making things even more complicated.

Short URLs take up less space in your marketing message so you can focus on saying the things that really matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Yohn is fully hosted and ready to use. You can connect your own domain in just a few steps.

If you have a website published to your domain, it may be challenging to use it in Yohn. We strongly recommend that you get a separate domain for your short links.

Any domain name will do. The shorter it is though, the smaller and more elegant are your QR codes and links. We also offer our users a 30-day free access to a third-level domain on yo.hn (such as ab.yo.hn, for example). It is generally intended for testing but if you want to keep it after the trial period, it’s alright too. Simply get in touch with us and let us know!
