Hello. What is the beast approach to build url shortener like this?

I would like to give users option to link their own domains for shortening (like http://link.domain.com/slug|link.domain.com/slug) instead of just using my own domain. I’m asking about domains part (verification, etc.). Other things are pretty easy (backend, db, etc.). Anyone has experience with this? I’m using JavaScript btw.

I don’t know, what exactly to search on google to find right solution

Is the service that you plan to provide going to be hosted by you? Then I guess as long as the customer sets their DNS then they should point to your IP and for verification you could requests some endpoint at their custom domain /myendpointverifyingdomain

As long as the customer managed to point to the right domain in this case then it’s as if they own it? So should be good enough for verification?
