How to assign a domain name to the Exely Hotel Website builder
Register your domain name
The domain name or URL is what people type into the browser address bar to visit your website. We recommend using a second-level domain for the Exely Hotel Website builder. It consists of 2 words separated by the dot. For example, yourtravel.com
Many companies specialize in registering domain names, like Network Information Center. Learn more How to register and buy a domain name.
Read the tips on how to choose a domain name. If you already have it, you may use it for the Exely Hotel Website builder.
Please note that it is not required to buy the hosting in addition to the domain name. We will take care of the website hosting and its security. We can also install SSL certificate issued by “Sectigo SSL” certification authority to enable encrypted connection for the users accessing your website.
How to connect a domain to the hosting
Once the domain is registered, you should host it.
Hosting can be compared with the house foundation.
Website content with its walls.
Domain with the house roof.
If the domain is not connected to the hosting, the house will fall apart — so the guests will not find your website.
There are 2 ways of connecting the domain name to the hosting
1. Changing DNS-servers (recommended one)
DNS (Domain name system) is a server that is specifically used for matching website hostnames (like example.com) to their corresponding Internet Protocol or IP addresses.
Find the DNS zone editor of the domain name in the registrar account. It can be called “DNS- servers” or “NS-servers”. Add the following DNS-servers:
ns1.supercp.com
ns2.supercp.com
ns3.supercp.com
ns4.supercp.com
2. A-record changing
This way is preferred, if the domain name is used for your email, or you are going to use a subdomain on your website.
IP-address is a unique address that identifies a device on the internet or a local network. For example, a server address where the website is hosted.
If you choose this way, you should change A-record (IP-address) to 68.66.226.108. It will be changed during 24 hours.
Once the domain name is connected to the website, and the website is launched, click on the switch to activate an SSL Certificate.
