Host a portfolio website for free

A portfolio on a custom domain signals that you ship. You can build and host one for free, then put it on a clean yourname.certed.one address — no hosting bill, no domain fee.

What you'll need

• A free portfolio site (static HTML, React, Next.js — anything).
• A free host: GitHub Pages, Vercel or Netlify.
• A free certed.one domain — claim one in the quick start.

Step 1 — Claim your name

Register something memorable like jane.certed.one or janedev.certed.one from your dashboard. Short, readable names work best on a resume.

Step 2 — Deploy your site

Push your portfolio to your host of choice. Each host gives you a default URL and a place to add a custom domain.

Step 3 — Connect the domain

Add the DNS record your host asks for — usually a CNAME to their hostname, or an A record to their IP — under Manage domain for your subdomain. Step-by-step:

• Connect to GitHub Pages
• Connect to Vercel or Netlify
• DNS records reference

Step 4 — Share it

Once DNS propagates (usually minutes), your portfolio is live at yourname.certed.one. Add it to your resume, GitHub profile and LinkedIn. For more ideas, see free domains for students.
