A short, easy link is easier to put on a tarpaulin and say out loud. BoardHub gives you a few ways to have one.
Pro: Your website link and custom domain are part of Pro.
Step by step
- Open My Website, then Website Builder, then Theme.
- Find Custom URL Handle and type the name you want under Your public URL, like santos-boarding-house.
- Wait for the check. If it says the name is available, tap Apply.
- You'll see "Saved. This is your link now."
- Make sure Published is switched on so people can open it.

Your short web address
Once your link is saved and working, a box called Your own web address appears with a short address like santos-boarding-house.boardhubph.com. It's the one to use on flyers and Facebook posts. If you don't see it yet, use the regular link shown in the share box.
Using a domain you own
Below the link is Use your own domain.
- Type the domain you bought, without "https" or slashes, for example myboardinghouse.com, and tap Save.
- Add the records BoardHub shows under Add these at your domain provider at the company you bought the domain from.
- Tap Check my domain. Changes usually take a few hours to spread.
- When it says the domain is connected, tap Open my site.
No domain yet? Tap Book a meeting about this and the BoardHub team can help you get one.
