As an ArtStation Premium member, you can use your own domain name for your website, making it fully yours with no ArtStation branding on it.
Instructions
Add the domain name to your ArtStation Domain admin under "Use a domain I own" and then click "Continue"
On your domain name DNS, please add the following records:
Record Type | Subdomain | Target |
CNAME | www | @ |
A | @ | 3.94.141.51 |
A | @ | 34.193.143.10 |
Ensure there are no other 'A' or "AAAA" records on the same root domain with another IP address (remove them). That's it.
Please note: It may take up to 48 hours for the DNS to propagate. Check the domain later.
Most common problems
Here are some very common issues we've helped people with:
Redirect is enabled
Some registrars like GoDaddy and Namecheap offer a redirect. i.e. you can redirect your website mydomain.com to username.artstation.com. You can see how this works. Just type mydomain.com into your browser, and it will actually change the URL to username.artstation.com.
If you are going to use a custom domain name on ArtStation, you need to remove this redirection. Then your domain mydomain.com will always stay as mydomain.com when browsing your website.
