Set up a custom domain

This section shows you how to set up a custom domain for your bookings in Reservation.Studio. There are two main methods: adding a CNAME record or using our DNS nameservers directly.

Option 1: Add a CNAME record​

Adding a CNAME record in your DNS configuration is a quick and easy way to connect your domain to Reservation.Studio.

Steps to add a CNAME record:​

  1. Log in to your DNS hosting provider: Most domain registrars (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) provide DNS management via their interface.

  2. Open the DNS records management section: Usually found under “DNS Management” or a similar menu.

  3. Add a new CNAME record: Enter the CNAME details as follows:

    • Name: Enter the subdomain you want to use (e.g., booking.yourdomain.com).
    • Type: CNAME
    • Value: cname.private-application.reservation.studio

  4. Save the changes: After entering the details, save the changes and wait for DNS propagation, which typically takes a few hours.

Example CNAME record:​

NameTypeValue
bookingCNAMEcname.private-application.reservation.studio
tip

Using this method lets you continue using other DNS records on your server without issues. This approach is preferred because it’s easy to set up and doesn’t require changing your domain’s primary nameservers. Your existing DNS records and services will continue to work.

Option 2: Use our DNS nameservers directly​

Using our DNS nameservers is another way to connect your domain to Reservation.Studio. This method is suitable if you want to use our nameservers as the primary DNS hosting for your domain.

Important

After applying these settings, your domain will work both on the root (e.g., yourdomain.com) and the www subdomain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com). Please note that once you apply these settings, you won’t be able to use other DNS records for this domain name.

Steps to configure DNS NS records:​

  1. Log in to your DNS hosting provider: As with the first method, log in to your domain registrar’s interface.

  2. Find the nameservers management section: Usually found under “Nameservers” or “DNS Settings”.

  3. Replace the current NS records with the following:

    • ns1.private-application.reservation.studio
    • ns2.private-application.reservation.studio

  4. Save the changes: After entering the NS records, save the changes and wait for propagation. This may also take a few hours.

Example NS records:​

TypeValue
NSns1.private-application.reservation.studio
NSns2.private-application.reservation.studio
