Put your Wall of Love on your own domain

Updated

Short answer

VideoTestimonials serves your Wall of Love from your own domain on the Business plan ($79/month). In your space's Domains tab, open Custom Domain, enter a subdomain such as love.yourbrand.com, add the DNS records shown (a CNAME or A record, plus a TXT record if asked) and click Check Propagation. The domain's root then shows your Wall of Love and /collect opens your form.

Your Wall of Love can live on a domain you own, such as love.yourbrand.com, so the page carries your brand in the address bar. This needs the Business plan. On Starter and Pro you get a branded yourbrand.videotestimonials.video subdomain instead.

Options by plan

Connect your domain (Business)

  1. Open your space and click the Domains tab (direct link).
  2. Switch to Custom Domain and enter the domain you want to use. Use a subdomain such as love.yourbrand.com rather than your main domain.
  3. Click Connect. The tab then lists the DNS records to add at your domain registrar or DNS provider:
    • A Target Record: a CNAME for a subdomain (usually pointing to cname.vercel-dns.com) or an A record for a root domain. Use the exact values the tab shows.
    • A Verification Record (TXT), when one is required to prove you own the domain.
  4. Add the records at your DNS provider and save them there.
  5. Back in the Domains tab, click Check Propagation. The domain is verified once both the ownership record and the target record are correct.

DNS changes take anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours to spread.

What the domain shows

AddressShows
love.yourbrand.comYour space's Wall of Love
love.yourbrand.com/wallYour space's Wall of Love
love.yourbrand.com/collectYour collection form

After verification, your old videotestimonials.video subdomain redirects to the custom domain, so links you've shared keep working.

Without a custom domain

On any plan, open the wall in Studio โ†’ Walls of Love, copy its iframe embed code, and paste it into a page on your own website. The wall then appears at whatever address that page has.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my own domain on the Starter or Pro plan?

Not your own domain; that needs Business. Starter and Pro include a branded subdomain on videotestimonials.video, such as yourbrand.videotestimonials.video, set in the same Domains tab. On any plan you can also embed the Wall of Love in a page on your own site with its iframe code.

Should I point my main domain at the Wall of Love?

No. Use a subdomain such as love.yourbrand.com or reviews.yourbrand.com. Pointing your main domain at VideoTestimonials would replace your website with the Wall of Love.

How long does it take to go live?

DNS changes take from a few minutes to 24 hours, as the Domains tab notes. Click Check Propagation until the domain shows as verified; it needs both the ownership record and the target record to be correct.

What happens to my old videotestimonials.video link?

Once your custom domain is verified, visits to your space's videotestimonials.video subdomain redirect to the custom domain, so links you've already shared keep working.
