Professional Staging Links
That Expire Automatically
Ditch the unprofessional IP addresses. Get branded DNS pointers with instant SSL for your staging sites. Set it, share it, and let it burn.
Stop Sending Clients Insecure IP Addresses
Raw IPs look unprofessional, trigger Chrome and Safari security warnings, and confuse non-technical stakeholders.
- ✕ Sending raw IP addresses (e.g., http://192.168.1.55:3000)
- ✕"Your connection is not private" browser warnings
- ✕Spending 30 minutes setting up Let's Encrypt for a 2-day preview
- ✕ Forgetting to delete the DNS record, leaving a zombie subdomain
- Branded, clean URLs (e.g., https://acme-staging.burnerlink.com)
- Instant SSL lock icon out of the box
- Takes literally 5 seconds to generate
- DNS record auto-destructs when the client review is over

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our temporary DNS service.
What is a temporary staging link?
A temporary staging link is an auto-expiring, fully branded URL that points to your development or staging server (like your local machine's IP address or a cloud instance). It masks unprofessional IP addresses and provides a secure, client-ready presentation.
Do I need to configure SSL certificates manually?
No. BurnerLink automatically provisions Wildcard SSL via Cloudflare Proxy the moment your link is created. You never have to generate a Let's Encrypt certificate or configure your server for HTTPS. Your clients will see a secure lock icon without browser warnings.
How long do the domains last?
Depending on the pass you choose, your staging domain will stay active for 24 hours (Free tier), 7 days, or up to 30 days. Once the time is up, the DNS records self-destruct, ensuring no abandoned subdomains are left pointing to your servers.
Can I use my own custom domain slugs?
Yes, our paid passes and Pro Subscription allow you to pick custom slugs on premium domains (e.g., your-project.burnerlink.com) instead of a randomly generated string.
