Data4 Now Supports Custom Domains for Brand-Secure Tracking
In today’s digital marketing landscape, short links serve as critical bridges connecting users to content, with growing importance in traffic redirection and data tracking.
While Data4’s existing short link statistics offered efficient link creation and monitoring, it was limited to our default domain.
Today, we proudly launch Custom Domains! Transform short links into brand ambassadors and supercharge your marketing.
Custom Domains: Elevate Brand Value & Trust
Simply put, this feature lets you generate short links using your brand’s domain instead of the default. Unlock two core advantages:
-
Boost Brand Recognition: Links carry your brand identity, reinforcing user awareness.
-
Build User Trust: Eliminate "phishing site" suspicions from third-party domains, increasing click-through rates.
Key Features: Your Domain, Your Brand
1. Dual-Mode Flexibility
-
Default Domain: Continue using "jumps4.com".

Custom Domain: Brand all short links (e.g., links.yourbrand.com).
2. 3-Step Setup
