Accessing your booking site
To access your booking site:
Open the “Settings” page and navigate to “Websites”
Click on the name of your desired booking site
You will find the URL under the "Custom Domain" field
Custom Domain (Optional)
Custom Subdomain
To set up a custom subdomain for your booking site, follow these steps:
Access DNS Settings for Your Main Domain: Log in to your domain registrar’s control panel where you manage your main domain.
Create a Subdomain:
In the DNS settings, create a new CNAME record.
For the name, enter the desired subdomain (e.g., `bookings`).
For the value or target, enter cname.vercel-dns.com
Update Boom with Your Subdomain:
In Boom, go to the settings page, and navigate to the Websites section
Select the relevant booking site and enter the full subdomain you created in the Custom Domain field
Save the settings and wait for DNS propagation, which may take several hours.
Verify Configuration: After propagation, visit your subdomain to check if it correctly points to your booking site.
Custom Domain (Root)
To connect your domain to our booking site hosted on a web hosting platform, you need to add two DNS records: one for the root domain (avisarresorts.com) and another for the www subdomain (www.companyname.com).
Follow these simple steps:
Set Up the Root Domain (companyname.com)
Add an A record to your DNS provider:Type: A
Name: @ (represents your root domain)
Value: 76.76.21.21
Set Up the www Subdomain
Add a CNAME record to your DNS provider:Type: CNAME
Name: www
Value: cname.vercel-dns.com.
Note: Ensure there's no conflicting A or CNAME record for www or the root domain.
Wait for DNS Propagation
After updating the DNS records, changes might take a few minutes to several hours to propagate fully across the internet. You can verify the configuration on your hosting dashboard (e.g., Vercel) or use DNS check tools like DNS Checker.
Troubleshooting Tips:
If the domain status still shows "Invalid Configuration," double-check for:
Typos in DNS record values.
Conflicting DNS records (e.g., old records still present).
Verify that your DNS provider supports root domain A records and CNAME records.
