Custom domains

A custom domain lets a portfolio use a domain you control instead of its Folio address.

Example: galleries.yourstudio.com.

Setup

1. Open Settings › Portfolio › Domains
2. Under Custom domain, enter your domain and click Add domain
3. Add the DNS record shown in Folio at your DNS provider
4. Click the domain in the list to verify it
5. Wait for verification

After verification, the portfolio homepage and gallery links can use the custom domain.

DNS record

Folio shows the DNS record to add. Use the value shown there when updating the DNS settings at your provider.

Domain changes can take time to update depending on the provider.

Notes

• A custom domain applies to a portfolio
• Use a subdomain that is not already used by another website
• DNS records must match the values shown in Folio

Troubleshooting

"DNS verification pending. Please configure your DNS records."

The DNS record has not been found yet. Check that it has been added, then allow time for the change to reach everyone.

"DNS is misconfigured. Please check your settings."

Check that the DNS record matches the value shown in Settings › Portfolio › Domains.

The domain still shows another website

Remove conflicting DNS records or use a different subdomain.
