Custom Domain Setup

10 minIntermediate

What you'll learn: Configure your custom domain to use with your MyFolioHub portfolio.

1

Register a Domain

2 min

Register your domain with any registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.). Examples: yourname.com, yourname.io. Keep your registrar dashboard open for DNS settings.

2

Access Domain Settings in MyFolioHub

1 min

Go to Settings → Domains in your MyFolioHub dashboard. Click "Add Custom Domain" and enter your domain name (e.g., yourname.com).

3

Get DNS Records

1 min

MyFolioHub will provide you with DNS records (CNAME or A records). Copy these values carefully—you'll need them to configure your registrar.

4

Update Registrar DNS

3 min

Log into your domain registrar. Navigate to DNS/Name Servers settings. Add the CNAME/A records provided by MyFolioHub. Save changes—DNS can take 24-48 hours to propagate.

5

Verify Domain Connection

2 min

Return to MyFolioHub and click "Verify". MyFolioHub will check DNS records. Once verified, your custom domain is active. Your portfolio is now accessible at yourname.com.

6

Set Up SSL Certificate

1 min

MyFolioHub automatically provisions an SSL certificate. Your domain will have HTTPS enabled within minutes.

💡 Pro Tips

  • DNS Propagation: DNS changes can take up to 48 hours. If verification fails, wait and try again later.
  • Subdomain: You can use subdomains too (portfolio.yourname.com). Configure similarly in your registrar.
  • Email forwarding: Some registrars offer email forwarding to yourname.com addresses. Configure separately in your registrar settings.
