The domain is the address of your website or business card. You can connect a free domain .wfolio.pro or a paid one. The domain can be registered through our platform or independently from any domain registrar. To register through us, go to the Settings → Site Address section and click "Connect a domain".
You can buy a new one from us or connect a free one according to the instruction 📖 New domain registration.
New domain registrationYes, we provide free domains in the form of mydomain.wfolio.pro. After your registration, there is already a free domain automatically connected to your site or drive.
You can change the address to another free domain from Wfolio. In order to do that, you need to go to the Settings → Site Address section and click on the "Connect a domain" button. After entering the preferred domain address, press "Select" and then "Connect" next to a free domain .wfolio.pro.
After you change your address from one .wfolio.pro domain to another .wfolio.pro domain, the old address of your website or drive does not stay connected to your account. It means that all links with the old domain address will stop working, and you will need to send the new ones to your clients.
If you want the old links to work, you need to register a domain through us, following these instructions 📖 New domain registration, or to connect an already registered domain 📖 Connecting an existing domain. In this case, the old .wfolio.pro address stays linked to your account, and there is a redirection from the old links to the new ones.
