Pointing an existing domain to a MyVR website

If you have already purchased your domain name or you prefer to purchase one outside of MyVR you can set it up to point to your MyVR Website. Your website's domain name will show up without the ".myvr.com" (eg http://www.vacationrentalsite.com)

Steps

  1. Publish your Website: Make sure the website is published
  2. Change DNS at your Registrar: Make changes in the account in which you purchased the domain to point it to MyVR
  3. Add Domain to MyVR: Add the domain name to MyVR so we map the domain to your website 
  4. Verify the Domain in MyVR: Let MyVR know you have made the configuration changes

 

Step 1: Publish your website

If you haven't already, publish your website in your MyVR account.  Go to Websites > Websites > [click Manage next to website] > Summary.  Click on Publish Website:

Step 2: Change the DNS settings with your domain registrar (account in which you purchased the domain i.e. GoDaddy, 1&1)

Make two changes at your registrar: 

    1. Change your A record

       - Make sure the Host "@" points to 107.23.2.13

    2. Edit your CNAME record

       - Edit the CNAME record with the Host "www" so it points to domains.myvr.com

Instructions for specific registrars (your registrar may not be included):

  • GoDaddy
  • 1&1

 Step 3: Return to MyVR and Add Domain

In the same summary section as in Step #1, click on Add Domain:

screenshot-account.myvr.com-2018.11.02-10-39-15.jpg

Select Connect a Domain:

screenshot-account.myvr.com-2018.11.02-10-40-11.jpg

Enter your domain name and click Link Domain (Note: Do NOT include 'www.' at the beginning of the domain name):

screenshot-account.myvr.com-2018.11.02-10-43-51.jpg

Your domain will then appear in the domain list as Not Set-Up:

 Step 4: Verify your domain

Return to the summary page for the website, at Go to Websites > Websites > [click Manage next to website] > Summary.  Click the More Actions drop-down and Verify Domain:

If the domain was configured correctly, the domain will be verified.

Note: it can take 24-48 hours for the changes domain updates to take effect.

Optional: To make the domain you just verified the primary domain, click the More Actions dropdown next to the domain and select Make Primary:
