Use a full domain as the bridge (e.g. link.com or miakim.com). Visitors open the root URL and land on this profile β no subdomain required.
Connect an apex domain (recommended)
Apex domains like link.com work best when DNS is onCloudflare (free). That enables CNAME at the root + free HTTPS.
- Save this profile so Bridg maps the domain β this handle.
- Cloudflare β Websites β Add site β enter
link.com β Free plan. At Namecheap (or your registrar), set Custom nameservers to the two Cloudflare gives you. - In that Cloudflare zone β DNS, add:
TypeCNAME
Name@ (root)
Targetbridg-a16.pages.dev
ProxyProxied (orange cloud)
TypeCNAME
Namewww
Targetbridg-a16.pages.dev
- Workers & Pages β bridg βCustom domains β add
link.com(and www.link.com if you use www). - Wait for Active / SSL, then open
https://link.com.
Keep the domain registered at Namecheap β only nameservers / DNS change. Email and other records can stay; re-create them in Cloudflare DNS if needed.
