Questions about the domains and simple answers to them

What is a domain?

A domain is the address of your website or galleries on the internet. You can connect a free .wfolio.pro domain to your site or register a custom domain through Wfolio or any domain registrar.

New domain registration

I already have a domain. Can I connect it?

Yes! You just need to configure the domain in your registrar's control panel.

How to connect a domain purchased elsewhere

Does Wfolio offer free domains?

Yes! When you sign up, you automatically receive a free domain in the format: yourmail.wfolio.pro. You can change this to another free .wfolio.pro domain at any time.

What is a subdomain? Can I connect two websites to one domain?

A subdomain is a separate section of your main domain—a subsite that works independently. For example: if your main domain is site.com, your subdomains could be gallery.site.com or works.site.com.

A subdomain is useful if you need a second website or an additional cloud drive for galleries.

How do I add DNS records?

• If your domain is registered through Wfolio or connected via Wfolio DNS, contact our support team, and we'll add the records for you.

• If your domain is connected via A records, you'll need to add DNS records manually in your domain registrar's settings.

Can I connect two domains to one website?

One Wfolio site or drive can have only one domain (or subdomain).

However, you can set up a redirect from one domain to another. Visitors who access the first domain will be redirected to the second domain.

• The redirect will remain active until the first domain expires.

• If both domains use .wfolio.pro, redirects are not possible.

To set up a domain redirect, contact Wfolio support.

How do I get an SSL certificate?

SSL certificates are issued automatically and for free for all Wfolio sites.

• For .wfolio.pro domains, SSL is active immediately.

• For custom domains, SSL activates within 24 hours of connection.

My domain registrar offers an SSL certificate. Should I accept It?

No! You don't need to purchase an SSL certificate from your domain registrar. Many registrars offer temporary free SSL services but later charge a fee.

Wfolio provides SSL for free—no extra payment is needed!

Do I need to pay for hosting separately?

No! Hosting is included for free with your Wfolio plan and domain purchase.

Why isn't my website appearing in search engines?
