To connect a domain registered with another registrar to your Wfolio website or drive, follow these steps:
Go to the Site Address or Disk Web Address settings section.
Click on the I already have a domain link.
In the window that opens, enter your domain and click Connect.
Configure the domain at your registrar.
Change domain button. If you've registered a domain through Wfolio, you will see a Change Domain button. Click on it and connect any free .wfolio.pro domain first.
Disable domain button. If you previously connected a domain from another registrar, click Disable Domain to disconnect it.
After this is done, click on the I already have a domain link and connect your domain.
Then configure the domain at your registrar.
This can be done in two ways.
This method is best if you don't need to add custom domain records (e.g., A, AAAA, MX, TXT) for connecting a subdomain or a mail service.
Update the DNS settings for your domain to point to Wfolio's DNS servers.
Ensure that only two DNS servers remain in your settings.
NS server | Value |
NS1 | dns1.wfolio.com |
NS2 | dns2.wfolio.com |
After updating the DNS servers, it may take up to 48 hours for changes to propagate. Your site will be accessible with the new domain once the DNS update is complete.
This method is useful if:
Your registrar doesn't allow changing DNS servers.
You have email services connected or plan to connect an email service.
You want to create subdomains or add additional records (e.g., A, AAAA, MX, TXT).
Add or edit two records:
In the field Name or Host pass the @ symbol. Some registrars require you to specify your domain name instead of the @ symbol, e.g., example.com. If neither option works, leave this field blank.
In the field Name or Host enter www and specify value and TTL listed below.
Make sure that the domain has only two A records with the names @ and www. If there are additional records for these hosts, it may cause an IP address conflict and lead to connection errors.
If the domain has AAAA records for @ or www, they must be deleted.
| Type | Name (Host) | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
А | @ | 159.69.249.27 | 3600 |
А | www | 159.69.249.27 | 3600 |
To make your website function on servers in Kazakhstan, add the following domain records.
| Type | Name (Host) | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
A | @ | 185.242.85.228 | 3600 |
A | www | 185.242.85.228 | 3600 |
If your domain is hosted on Wix, follow these steps to configure it:
Go to the DNS record settings.
In the A (Host) block, change the Address field to the value 159.69.249.27 instead of the existing IP address.
In the CNAME (Aliases) block, enter your domain name without www (e.g., mydomain.com) in the Address field.
Delete any other aliases listed in the CNAME block.
| Host Name | Points to | TTL |
|---|---|---|
| 159.69.249.27 | 1 Hour |
CNAME (Aliases) | Points to | TTL |
|
| Hour |
