Choose one memorable address for every career touchpoint.

Google Drive, Notion, Canva, and Behance links can be long and hard to read in a PDF CV or LinkedIn bio. budi.is-a.cv is shorter to type and gives your work one entry point. It is not a shortcut to getting hired, but it removes friction when a recruiter wants to open your portfolio.

Why is .is-a.cv useful for job seekers?

is-a.cv immediately signals that the address is for a CV or professional portfolio. You do not need to rent an annual domain just to make a shorter link. At AICLUB, one account receives one free subdomain slot; if you need another slot for a project, install the AICLUB Badge from the builder page under the platform instructions.

Choose a clear name such as rani-uiux.is-a.cv or andi-pratama.is-a.cv. Avoid random numbers and spelling that is hard to copy from a printed CV. Students who also share technical work can use name.std.ai.id as a separate address for a demo or documentation.

Two ways to use namamu.is-a.cv

Option 1: no-code URL Redirect

URL Redirect sends a visitor from namamu.is-a.cv to a page you already have. It is practical when a portfolio still lives on a public Notion page, Canva Website, Behance, or a PDF CV. The AICLUB address is the link you place on your CV; once opened, the browser continues to the destination platform.

For a Google Drive PDF CV, set file sharing to Anyone with the link and Viewer. A redirect does not change the file permission; if the file remains Restricted, a recruiter will still see an access request. [2]

Option 2: code and CNAME

Choose CNAME when you already own a portfolio website, such as static HTML, Astro, or Next.js. Add namamu.is-a.cv in the hosting domain panel first, then place the CNAME target shown by the platform in the AICLUB dashboard. Do not guess the target: Vercel, Netlify, and Cloudflare Pages each show the value needed after a domain is added. [3] [4] [5]

How to claim namamu.is-a.cv at AICLUB

1. Pick a professional name

Open AICLUB.AI.ID and check whether the name you want is available. Use your full name, job focus, or both. Popular first names can be taken quickly, so prepare one or two readable alternatives.

2. Choose is-a.cv and a destination method

Choose the is-a.cv extension. For a finished public page, use URL Redirect and paste the complete destination URL. For a site you deploy yourself, choose CNAME and use the hostname supplied by the host.

3. Save and test in an incognito window

Save the request, then test the address in an incognito window to separate the browser session. DNS resolver caches may still take time to update. With CNAME, wait for DNS and the hosting verification status. If the target does not open, check the spelling and target supplied by the host before changing the configuration.

Add the address to the header of a PDF CV, immediately below your name and email. Make it a hyperlink, while still writing the full address for people reading a printed copy. On LinkedIn, you can separately customize your public profile URL; LinkedIn provides public-profile URL settings in the profile page. [1]

Frequently asked questions

Is namamu.is-a.cv really free?

Each account receives one free subdomain slot. You can earn one additional slot by installing the AICLUB Badge through the builder page under the platform rules.

When should I use URL Redirect instead of CNAME?

Use URL Redirect for a finished public page such as Google Drive, Notion, Canva Website, or Behance. Use CNAME when you own a portfolio site hosted on Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare Pages.

Why does my Google Drive CV still request access?

A redirect only forwards the address. Set the file sharing option to Anyone with the link and Viewer so readers do not need to request access.

Does namamu.is-a.cv guarantee that I will get hired?

No. A clean address improves link readability and consistency, but selection depends on your qualifications, experience, and portfolio quality.

Conclusion: secure an address that is easy to share

namamu.is-a.cv does not guarantee a job, but it makes a CV, portfolio, and LinkedIn bio shorter to open and share. Choose a redirect when your work already lives on another platform; choose CNAME when you build the site yourself.
