Claim your website.

Turn it on

Your address is held for you from the moment you pick a handle. Nobody else can take it. It does nothing until you tell it where to go.

1. 01

   Step 1: Open the Website page

   The page is titled with your address, like yourhandle.filli.me, and says Not claimed until you turn it on.

   Step 2: Enter where it should go

   In Forward to, paste your site's address, like https://your-personal-site.com. We check that it's a public http(s) address before saving.

3. 03

   Step 3: Leave Forward traffic on

   This is what makes the address live. Turn it off later to pause it without giving it up.

4. 04

   Step 4: Choose what search engines show

   Your site is reachable at both addresses, so pick the one Google should list:

   • Show yourhandle.filli.me if your site lives on a free host like vercel.app or github.io. Your FILLI.ME address is the one that shows up.
   • Show your own site if you have a domain of your own. Links to your FILLI.ME address then help your domain rank instead.

   Step 5: Choose Claim it, free

   The status turns to Live ↗. Your profile now shows the Website verified badge, and your site can be picked for Best personal websites on Discover.

Add a thumbnail

The thumbnail is the picture on your card in Best personal websites. The page shows a preview of the card as you go.

1. 01

   Step 1: Choose Upload a thumbnail

   A PNG or JPG of your site, under 3 MB.

2. 02

   Step 2: Crop it

   Drag and zoom to choose the 16:12 area the card shows, then choose Use thumbnail. Use Replace to change it later.

Pause or release it

• Pause. Turn off Forward traffic and save. The status reads Paused and the address stays yours.
• Release. Choose Release… at the bottom of the page and confirm. It frees the address. Your profile link, filli.me/builders/yourhandle, stays the same.
