Summary

AI-generated

This video guides short-term rental hosts through the process of setting up their custom domain name for an OwnerRez hosted website. It covers linking your domain (DNS) to OwnerRez servers, specifically detailing the steps for GoDaddy users to configure A and CNAME records.

Key insights

  • Linking your custom domain name to your OwnerRez hosted website ensures that typing your domain into a browser directs guests to your site, making it appear as if it 'lives' at your domain.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Failing to correctly configure A and CNAME records in your domain registrar (like GoDaddy) will prevent your custom domain from pointing to your OwnerRez hosted website, and HTTPS will remain disabled.
