Custom Domain

Countdown Timers on Your Own Domain

With the Business plan, your timers are served from your own domain — e.g. img.yourbrand.com — with automatic SSL for every connected domain. Better inbox deliverability, stronger brand trust, and no third-party URLs in your campaigns.

What Is a Custom Domain for Timers?

By default, your countdown images are served from our domain. With a custom domain, they are served from a subdomain you own — so the timer in your email or on your website loads from img.yourbrand.com instead.

Connecting one takes a single CNAME record at your DNS provider. Once verified, every embed code uses your branded URL, and SSL is issued and renewed for you automatically.

  • Branded URLs. Timer image and click URLs match the domain your emails are sent from.
  • Automatic SSL. Certificates for connected domains are provisioned and auto-renewed — nothing to buy or install.
  • Deliverability. Consistent domains read as trustworthy to inbox providers, helping campaigns land in the inbox.

Custom domains are included with the Business plan — alongside everything in the Combo Pack.

Why it works

On-Brand by Design

Branded Timer URLs

Timers serve from img.yourbrand.com — your domain in every image URL, nothing that looks like a third-party tracker.

Automatic SSL

SSL certificates are provisioned and renewed for every connected domain automatically. No certs to buy or install.

Better Deliverability

Images on a domain that matches your sender domain read as consistent and trustworthy to inbox providers.

Zero Maintenance

One CNAME record connects your domain. We handle serving, scaling, and certificate renewals from there.
