A good short link is half the product. Here is how naming works on site.link.

## What you can claim

Names are 3 to 63 characters with letters, numbers, and hyphens. They are first come, first served. Official looking names like www, api, admin, login, help, and shop are reserved. Brand names and phishing style words are blocked too.

## Ideas that stick

* Your project name: mycafe.site.link
* Your handle, if it is free: jordan.site.link
* A clear use case: portfolio.site.link only works if nobody else took it first

Avoid random letter soup. People should be able to say the link out loud.

## Free days and paid years

Every name starts free for 30 days with no card required. After that, most names are $9 a year. Common words and very short names cost more. See pricing for the current tiers.
