How do I link my portfolio and a domain that I already own?

Follow these steps to link your domain you already own to your portfolio:

Step one: Log in to your Domain Provider’s Page and modify your domains A records:

  1. Point the default A record for the root of your domain name (yoururl.com) to this IP address: 159.89.215.151

  2. Point the A record for your "www" subdomain (www.yoururl.com) to this IP address: 159.89.215.151

This is what a correct DNS record setup looks like (will vary depending on what DNS provider you choose):

Type

Name

Value

TTL

A

@

159.89.215.151

1 Hour

A

www

159.89.215.151

1 Hour



Step two: Enter your Own Domain in the UXfolio Portfolio settings.

  1. Navigate to the Portfolio Manager.

  2. Hover over a portfolio’s thumbnail.

  3. Click on Options in the top-right corner of the thumbnail.

  4. Click on Set Domain.

  5. At the bottom of the popup, click Use your own domain.

  6. Enter your Own Domain without the ‘www’.

  7. Hit Connect.

These changes can take anywhere between 24 and 72 hours to start working properly.
