A digital business card is playing an increasingly important role in the digital business world. It makes it possible to share contact details quickly and easily. But what if you want to make your digital business card even more professional with your own domain or subdomain? With oneVcard you have exactly this option! Find out here what advantages your own domain offers and how you can 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 even interactive functions such as a QR code or NFC technology. Instead of passing on a physical card, you can easily share your digital business card via a link.

Differences to the classic business card

• Always up-to-date: Changes such as telephone number or e-mail address are updated immediately.
• Environmentally friendly: no paper consumption, no printing costs.
• Interactive: Direct links to social media, websites and more.
• Easy to share: Accessible at any time via QR code, NFC or URL.

Why have your own domain for your digital business card?

A custom domain gives your digital business card a professional touch. Instead of a standard URL such as "onevcard.app/v/[ID]", you can use a customized address that strengthens your branding and increases recognition value.

Advantages of your own domain

• Professional appearance: Your own domain looks more serious and trustworthy.
• Better recognizability: Your company name is directly visible in the URL.
• Customization: Choose a domain or subdomain to suit your company.
