A Custom Domain for Your Digital Business Card: More Professionalism for Your Business

In today’s digital business world, a digital business card plays an increasingly important role. It lets you share contact details quickly and effortlessly. But what if you want to make your digital business card even more professional with a custom domain or subdomain? With oneVcard, you have exactly that option. Here you will learn what benefits a custom 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 relevant contact information, social media links and interactive features such as a QR code or NFC technology. Instead of handing over a physical card, you share your digital business card conveniently via a link.

How it differs from the classic business card

• Always up to date: Changes such as a phone number or email address are applied instantly.
• Environmentally friendly: No paper consumption, no printing costs.
• Interactive: Direct links to social media, websites and more.
• Easy to share: Available at any time via QR code, NFC or URL.

Why use a custom domain for your digital business card?

A custom domain gives your digital business card a professional touch. Instead of a standard URL, you use an individual address that strengthens your branding and boosts recognition.

Benefits of a custom domain

• Professional presence: A custom domain looks more reputable and trustworthy.
• Better recognition: Your company name is visible directly in the URL.
• Individual design: Choose a domain or subdomain that fits your company.
• Easy to share: A short, memorable URL stays in people’s minds.

Examples of custom domains with oneVcard:

• cards.my-company.com/v/[ID]
• digital-company.com/v/[ID]
• your-domain.com/v/[ID]

Who can use a custom domain with oneVcard?

The option to use a custom domain or subdomain for the digital business card is available to Teams and Enterprise customers. For Teams customers, the feature can be booked for an additional fee. Individual users currently do not have the option to use a custom domain.

Benefits for companies, the self-employed and freelancers

Companies benefit especially from a custom domain. It enables consistent, professional brand communication and full control over the URLs. For example, a company with the domain “mycompany.com” provides its employees with digital business cards at “cards.mycompany.com/v/[ID]”.

A custom domain also makes sense for sole proprietors and freelancers who want to stand out from the competition. Customers trust professional domains more than generic URLs, for instance “max-mueller-consulting.com/v/[ID]”.

Alternatives: subdomains and redirects

If you do not want to use your own primary domain, there are alternatives:

• Subdomains: Create a subdomain under your existing website, for example “network.mycompany.com/v/[ID]”.
• URL redirects: Set up a redirect from your domain to the oneVcard business card, for instance “contact.mycompany.com”.

What happens if I change my domain? The new domain has to be linked with oneVcard again. Our support team will help you with the transition.
