Point your reservation page to a subdomain instead of the default Rex URL.
When your reservation page is first set up, it will have a default Rex URL, such as venuename.reservewithrex.com.
You have the option of customizing this URL to a subdomain of your own site.
A subdomain is a prefix added to your root domain. For example, in the URL venuename.reservewithrex.com, “reservewithrex.com” is the root domain, and “venuename” is the subdomain.
Steps to Set Up a Subdomain for your Reservation Page
1. Decide on your Subdomain
To set up a subdomain for your reservation page, you should first decide what you would like it to be. If your website is www.venuename.com, consider using subdomains like:
reserve.venuename.com
parties.venuename.com
bowl.venuename.com
axe.venuename.com
play.venuename.com
2. Log in to your Domain Provider
Access your domain provider account and navigate to the DNS settings.
3. Add a CNAME Record
- In the DNS settings click on add a CNAME record
- Enter the text that you want to add as a prefix where it says host. For example, "reserve". Host = reserve
- To point the subdomain to your reservation page, paste launch.reservewithrex.com in the points to field.
