How to connect your own domain

On a paid plan, go to Website, then Domain, type your domain (e.g. www.yourname.com) and click Connect, add the CNAME record shown at your registrar, then click Re-check DNS; SSL is set up for you.

Plan
Basic, MLS or Builder plan
Updated
In your admin
my.realtyterminus.net/domain (opens in a new tab)

Every website has a free address like yourname.realtyterminus.net. On a paid plan you can use a domain you own instead, bought from any registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Squarespace, Cloudflare…). Only your website moves: your email stays with your current provider.

Steps

  1. Open Domain

    Open Website in the menu and click Domain.

    The Custom domain page showing the free address and the Connect a domain you own form.

  2. Enter your domain

    Under Connect a domain you own type your domain into Domain. We recommend the www version, e.g. www.janesmithhomes.ca, or a sub-domain such as homes.janesmith.ca. Click Connect.

  3. Add the DNS record

    DNS setup shows the exact record to add, with Copy buttons and step-by-step instructions. Sign in where you manage your domain’s DNS and add it. See Which DNS records do I add for my domain?

    The DNS record table: Type CNAME, Host www, Value sites.realtyterminus.net, TTL 3600 or Auto, with copy buttons.

  4. Forward the root domain

    If you connected a www address, also forward the root domain (e.g. janesmithhomes.ca) to https://www.janesmithhomes.ca at your registrar: look for “Forwarding” or “URL redirect” and choose Permanent (301).

  5. Click Re-check DNS

    Come back and click Re-check DNS. When the record is found, your website goes live on your domain and the SSL certificate (https) is issued automatically. We keep checking for you too.
