Address and domains
Your free resytech.site address, connecting your own domain, and what each status means.
Every website needs an address before it can be published. Manage it in Template settings > Website address.
A free address
Choose a name and your website lives at yourname.resytech.site. Names use lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, at least three characters. Some names are reserved, and each name can only be used by one website. A free address works as soon as you publish; there is nothing to set up anywhere else.
Change address moves your website to a new name. Links to the old name stop working, so do this before you share your address widely.
Your own domain
You can use a domain you already own, such as www.yourbusiness.com.
-
In Website address, choose Your own domain and type the full address, including
www. -
At the company where you manage your domain (your registrar or DNS provider), add a CNAME record:
Type Name Value CNAME wwwconnect.resytech.site -
Back in Resytech, click Connect domain. If the record isn't visible yet, you'll see what Resytech found and can click Check again. New records usually appear within a few minutes, occasionally longer.
-
Once the record is found, Resytech sets up your domain and its secure certificate. This usually takes a few minutes; the editor keeps checking while it is open, or you can come back later and click Check again.
-
As soon as the domain is ready, your website moves to it and the status shows Live.
Your current address keeps working right up to step 5, so connecting a domain never takes your website offline.
Your own domain needs custom domains to be switched on for websites. If the editor says they aren't yet, contact support.
Root domains
A CNAME record can't be added to a root domain like yourbusiness.com (without www). Use www.yourbusiness.com for your website and ask your domain provider to forward yourbusiness.com to it; most providers have a simple forwarding setting.
Domains used elsewhere
A domain can only point to one place. If you already use a domain for your Resytech booking page, choose a different one for your website (for example www.yourbusiness.com for the website and book.yourbusiness.com for booking).
Statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Live | Your website is served on this domain. |
| Setting up | The certificate is being issued or renewed. No action needed. |
| Waiting for DNS | Resytech can't see the CNAME record, or it points somewhere else. Check the record at your domain provider. |
| Needs attention | Setting up the domain failed. Contact support. |
Removing an address
Remove takes the address off your website. A published website goes offline and returns to draft until you choose a new address and publish again. A free name you remove can be claimed by anyone.
