Listing Domains & URLs

 
     

This Presentation Settings section of the Listings Manager lets you control how your listing can be referenced in your marketing material. To assign a custom URL or domain name to a listing:

  1. Open any existing listing for editing - or create a new one - and click the Presentation Settings tab.
  2. Complete the information in either the Listing URL or Listing Domain sections, or use both. See below for specific information.
  3. Click Save and Close.
     
 

Listing URL

  
     

Enter a Listing URL in the field provided. This allows you to use a simple web site address on all of your marketing materials for that property. For example, you might enter their address (without spaces) in this field.

Now, to direct visitors to this specific listing, give them the URL:

http://www.baytownproperties.biz/1564Elm

     
 

Listing Domain

 
     

In addition to the simple listing URL, you have the option of assigning a specific domain name to your listing. This can be an domain you've already created in with your XSite, or one you've purchased from a third party domain registrar like eNom or GoDaddy, and had re-assigned to your XSite. (For more information on creating domains or transferring exsiting domains, consult the Domain Management section of this manual.) Or, you can create a new domain name for this property on the fly.

To create a new domain name for this listing:

  1. Click the Register a new domain option.
  2. Type the desired domain name in the text box. For example, you might use the property address, without any spaces.
  3. Click Check Availability.
  4. If that name is not available, click the Try Another button and enter a different name. If it is available, simply click Register This Domain.
  5. Unless you have pre-purchased additional domain names, you'll be promted to enter your credit card information to pay for the new domain name. Enter the required numbers and click OK.

The name is registered and assigned to your listing. It is also added to your Domain Pool, and can be reassigned to other listings in the future.

To assign a domain from your pool:

  1. Click the Select a domain name from my domain pool option.
  2. Select the desired domain from the drop-down menu.
