Vercel

This guide walks you through finding the CNAME and TXT values you need from Vercel.

Prerequisites

Your portfolio is already deployed on Vercel
You have chosen a subdomain (e.g. .is-pinoy.dev)

Open your project's Domain settings

Go to vercel.com/dashboard and sign in
Click on your portfolio project
Click the Settings tab
In the left sidebar, click Domains

Add your is-pinoy.dev subdomain

In the domain input field, type your full subdomain:

.is-pinoy.dev

Click Add. Vercel will display a panel showing the DNS records you need to configure.

Copy your CNAME value

Vercel will show a CNAME record with a value that looks like:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.vercel-dns-017.com.

This value is unique to your project. Copy it exactly — you will paste it into your JSON file.

The value ends with a dot (.). Vercel shows it this way intentionally — keep the dot when you paste it into your JSON file.

Copy your TXT verification value (if shown)

Vercel sometimes also displays a TXT record for domain ownership verification:

vc-domain-verify=.is-pinoy.dev,abc123

If Vercel shows this record, copy the full value. If it does not appear, skip this step — it is not always required.

Create your subdomain JSON file

Now that you have your DNS values, go to Create Your JSON File to add them to your file.

For reference, here is what your JSON should look like depending on which records Vercel showed you:

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/is-pinoy-dev/domains/main/schemas/v1/subdomain.schema.json",
  "subdomain": "",
  "owner": {
    "github": "your-github-username"
  },
  "records": {
    "CNAME": {
      "value": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.vercel-dns-017.com."
    }
  }
}

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/is-pinoy-dev/domains/main/schemas/v1/subdomain.schema.json",
  "subdomain": "",
  "owner": {
    "github": "your-github-username"
  },
  "records": {
    "CNAME": {
      "value": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.vercel-dns-017.com."
    },
    "TXT": {
      "value": "vc-domain-verify=.is-pinoy.dev,abc123",
      "provider": "vercel"
    }
  }
}

Replace , your-github-username, and the record values with your actual information.

Important notes

Trailing dot — the CNAME value must end with . exactly as Vercel shows it
"provider": "vercel" — required whenever you include a TXT record from Vercel; validation will fail without it
"Invalid Configuration" on Vercel's dashboard — Vercel will show this warning until your PR is merged and DNS has propagated. This is expected. Vercel cannot verify the record until it's live.

Once your JSON file is ready, proceed to Validate.
