For example, if you own www.mystudioname.com and want your gallery content found at clients.mystudioname.com, you can do so by creating a CNAME record with your domain registrar (such as GoDaddy, Google Domains, etc).
Note: You must be subscribed to a paid plan to enable this option.
Step 1: Go to Your DNS Records
Log into the website where you purchased your domain name (i.e. GoDaddy, Squarespace, Network Solutions, etc), and locate your DNS records.
Create a CNAME record that points to custom.lightfolio.com. It's very important for the "Points To" field to have the exact custom.lightfolio.com text as shown here.
For example, if you are using GoDaddy, you will enter "clients" as the Host and have it point to "custom.lightfolio.com".
Step 2: Go to Your Lightfolio Gallery Directory
Once you have created the CNAME record with the company that hosts your domain, open Lightfolio in another tab or window.
Click on Galleries in the left side menu, then click on the Directory tab.
In the Directory Details section, click on the Edit (Pencil) icon next to your Gallery Directory link.
Step 3: Type In Your Domain on the Gallery Directory
After clicking on the Edit icon, an Edit Gallery Directory Domain box will pop up.
In the Use My Own Domain section, enter in the domain you’re connecting to.
For example, because we chose "clients" as the host in our CNAME Record in Step 1, we'll enter our domain in as "clients.lightfolio.com".
Click on the Save Custom Domain button.
Your Gallery Directory Link will be updated to your custom domain link and visible on your Gallery Directory page (under the Directory Details).
Step 4: Add an A Record (For Domains Starting with www)
If you are planning to use “www” for your galleries (e.g., www.johnsmith.com), you will most likely need to add an A record.
Inside your DNS records, create an A record that points to 54.208.236.76.
The name/host column will contain "@".
You can leave the TTL and the Seconds sections as they are.
