Instagram and TikTok give you one link. One. If you have a YouTube channel, a shop, a newsletter, and a podcast — you need all four in one place. That's where bio link tools come in.
Linktree is the most popular option, but its free plan is limited. No custom domain. No custom fonts. A "Made with Linktree" label on every page. And you don't own the data.
Here's a better approach: build a bio link page that's actually yours.

GitHub Pages (Best for developers)
Create a free GitHub repository, upload your HTML file, enable Pages in settings, and your page is live at yourusername.github.io in minutes. Add a custom domain for free.
Netlify Drop
Go to netlify.com, drag your HTML file onto the page, and it's live in 30 seconds. Netlify provides a free *.netlify.app URL instantly.
Cloudflare Pages
Connect a GitHub repo and Cloudflare deploys automatically on every push. Free tier is very generous and includes a custom domain option.
Why You Should Own Your Link Page
When you use Linktree or similar services, you're building on rented land. If the service changes its pricing, goes down, or closes — your link-in-bio disappears with it. Your followers' attention was directed to someone else's platform, not yours.
A self-hosted HTML page loads faster, has no third-party trackers, and is something you control completely. Your link doesn't break if a company pivots.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my own domain with the downloaded page?
Yes — host the file anywhere that supports static HTML and point your domain there. GitHub Pages and Netlify both support custom domains for free.
Do I need coding knowledge?
No. The builder generates all the HTML for you. If you want to customize further, basic HTML is very learnable — but it's not required.
Is there a limit to how many links I can add?
No. Add as many links as you want. Unlike Linktree's free tier, there's no cap.
