How to activate a free short.gy subdomain

View as Markdown

If you create a free short.gy subdomain and you have not previously added a phone number in your profile settings, the subdomain will not be activated immediately.

Note

An inactive subdomain will still allow you to create short links; however, these links will not be accessible.

To activate the short.gy subdomain​

  1. Sign in to your Short.io account.

  2. From the Branded links menu select the short.gy subdomain to be activated:

    Dashboard with short.gy subdomain selected and activation banner

  3. After the message appears To activate the domain we need to verify your phone number , click Activate:

    Warning banner to verify phone number with Activate button

  4. You are redirected to the General tab of the Organization settings page.

    Please follow the steps described in this article to verify your phone number.

Once the phone number has been verified and set, you can now navigate to Branded links->your short.gy subdomain to shorten links and enjoy Short.io.
