But what if you could make your digital business card even more professional with your own domain or subdomain? With oneVcard, you totally can! Find out here what advantages your own domain offers and how to set it up.

What is a digital business card?

A digital business card is the modern, smart alternative to the classic paper business card. It contains all the important contact information, social media links, and even interactive features like a QR code or NFC technology. Instead of handing out a physical card, you can easily share your digital business card via a link.

Differences from the classic business card

• Always up-to-date: Changes like phone numbers or email addresses are updated instantly.
• Eco-friendly: No paper waste, no printing costs.
• Interactive: Direct links to social media, websites, and more.
• Easy to share: Accessible anytime via QR code, NFC, or URL.

Why get your own domain for your digital business card?

Having your own domain gives your digital business card a professional touch. Instead of a standard URL like “onevcard.app/v/[ID]”, you can use a custom address that strengthens your branding and boosts recognition.

• Professional appearance: Your own domain looks more serious and trustworthy.
• Better recognition: Your company name is directly visible in the URL.
