How to Forward Your Domain to the Revivo HotelX Booking Engine
If you own a domain and want to forward it to your Revivo HotelX booking engine URL, while keeping your domain name visible in the browser’s address bar this guide will walk you through the process step by step.
Step 1: Log in to Your GoDaddy Account
- Click on Sign In in the top-right corner of the page.
- Enter your username and password, then log in to your GoDaddy account.
Step 2: Access Your Domain Settings
- Once logged in, click on your account name (at the top-right) and choose My Products from the dropdown.
- Under the Domains section, locate the domain name you want to forward and click Manage next to it.
Step 3: Navigate to Forwarding Settings
- On the Domain Settings page, scroll down to the Additional Settings section.
- Find the Domain Forwarding option. If forwarding has not been set up, click on Add. If there’s an existing forward, click Manage to update it.
Step 4: Set Forwarding to Your Revivo HotelX Booking Engine URL
- In the forwarding setup, type your Revivo HotelX booking engine URL in the destination field. For example:
- Choose the Forward with Masking option, which ensures that your domain name (not the booking engine URL) will be displayed in the browser’s address bar.
- When using Forward with Masking, you need to provide some additional information:
- Title: This will appear in the browser tab. Example:
"HotelX Booking Engine"
. - Description: A short description of your booking page. Example:
"Book your stay with HotelX powered by Revivo Technologies"
. - Keywords: These are relevant keywords for search engines. Example:
"HotelX, online booking, Revivo, hotel management"
.
Step 6: Save Your Settings
- Once you’ve entered all the information, click Save to confirm your changes.
Step 7: Wait for DNS Propagation
- The changes you made may take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to propagate across the internet. After propagation, visitors who type your domain into their browser will be forwarded to the Revivo HotelX booking engine, while your domain name will still show in the browser’s address bar (thanks to masking).
Forwarding your domain to the Revivo HotelX booking engine is a great way to keep a custom domain for your hotel while making use of Revivo’s powerful booking management system. By using Forward with Masking, you ensure that users only see your domain name in the browser, maintaining brand consistency.
