Deploy your redirect links to our managed infrastructure at links.linkcontroller.com without managing your own hosting.
The hosted service is the absolute fastest way to get started with Link Controller. No installation, no FTP, no technical setup. Just click deploy and your links work instantly.
The Hosted Link Service is a managed redirect infrastructure that eliminates the need to install scripts on your own domain.
Your links are deployed to links.linkcontroller.com/{your-path}/go/{link-key}
using a custom path you choose, and work immediately without any installation.
No FTP, no cPanel, no technical setup required. Just create your links and they're ready to use immediately after deployment.
The hosted service deploys both redirect links and landing pages to the same infrastructure. Perfect if you want to start using Link Controller immediately without installation or technical setup.
Before deploying, you'll set a custom path for your hosted service (e.g., "ryan" → links.linkcontroller.com/ryan/go/link).
Choose carefully! If you change your path later, all existing URLs you've shared will stop working.
Your custom path becomes part of all your hosted URLs. Choose something memorable and professional:
yourname (personal brand)yourcompany (business)mybiz-deals (descriptive)Path Requirements: 3-50 characters, lowercase letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores only. Must be unique across all users.
Hosted service updates:
Links work immediately after deployment, updates within 5 minutes.
Navigate to Link Management and create all the redirect links you want to use. You can create as many as you need before deploying.
Click on "Hosted Service" in the sidebar menu. You'll see your deployment dashboard.
Enter your custom path when prompted (e.g., "yourname"). This will be part of all your hosted URLs. Choose carefully - changing it later will break existing links!
Click the "Deploy to Hosted Service" button. The system will automatically sync all your links to our managed infrastructure.
After deployment, you'll have unique hosted URLs using your custom path:
links.linkcontroller.com/{your-path}/go/{link-key}
Your links are ready to use! Share them anywhere: emails, social media, websites, ads, or anywhere you need redirect links.
Example Hosted URLs (with custom path "mybiz"):
https://links.linkcontroller.com/mybiz/go/affiliate1
https://links.linkcontroller.com/mybiz/go/hosting
https://links.linkcontroller.com/mybiz/go/webinar
Your custom path: "mybiz" (you choose this during deployment)
Your link keys: "affiliate1", "hosting", "webinar" (from Link Management)Yes, but it will break all existing URLs you've shared. Only change your path if you haven't distributed any links yet, or if you're willing to update all your existing links across emails, websites, ads, etc.
Get instant access to managed hosting for your redirect links. No installation, no maintenance, just create and deploy!

When you modify links:
Force a manual sync if needed:
Turn your Featured Offers into standalone landing pages hosted on your hosted service URL. Landing pages are full HTML pages that can be linked from anywhere - perfect for emails, social media, or direct sharing.
In the Featured Offers section, create an offer with your product details, image, and template design.
Toggle "Landing Page" on for that offer. This generates a standalone HTML page for the offer.
Visit the Landing Pages page under Featured Offers and click "Deploy Landing Pages" to sync them to your hosted service.
Your landing page is now live and can be shared anywhere!
Landing pages are hosted alongside your redirect links:
https://links.linkcontroller.com/your-path/offer/your-offer-slug
Example:
https://links.linkcontroller.com/mybiz/offer/hosting-special
Base URL + Your Custom Path + Offer SlugLanding Pages are standalone pages you link to. Embed Codes display offers within your existing pages. Both work with the same Featured Offers - choose the method that fits your needs!
For complete details on creating offers, choosing templates, and managing landing pages:
When you create, edit, or enable landing pages for offers, you need to redeploy from the Landing Pages page to sync the changes to your hosted service. This ensures your landing pages always show the latest content.
If a link doesn't work, verify the link key matches exactly (case-sensitive). Check your Link Management page to confirm the link exists and is active.
