Custom domains
Every Tourtify website gets a free address, yourname.tourtify.site, with HTTPS from day one. Connect your own domain (like www.yourbusiness.com) so travellers see your brand. HTTPS is set up and renewed automatically.
Where to find it
Console › Settings › Business › Domain
Your free address
Your free {slug}.tourtify.site address always works. Once you connect your own domain and make it the main address, the free address redirects to it with a permanent (301) redirect, so old links keep working.
Connect a domain
You'll need access to where you bought the domain (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare…).
- Go to Settings › Domain.
- Under Connect a domain, enter your domain, for example
www.yourbusiness.com, and choose Add domain. - Tourtify shows the DNS records to add. Copy each one to your DNS provider (see below).
- Back in Tourtify, choose Check now.
The domain shows Waiting for DNS until both records are found, then Live. Tourtify also re-checks pending domains every 10 minutes, so you can close the page.
Use the www version
www.yourbusiness.com works with every DNS provider. Root domains (without www) are trickier, see below.
DNS records
| Type | Name / host | Value / points to | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXT | _tourtify.<your domain> | tourtify-verify=… (copy from the console) | Proves you own the domain |
| CNAME | <your domain> (e.g. www) | sites.tourtify.site | Sends visitors to your website |
For a root domain (yourbusiness.com without www), a CNAME isn't allowed by most providers. Either:
- add the A records Tourtify shows for the root (Name
@), when they are listed, or - use a provider that supports CNAME flattening, such as Cloudflare.
DNS takes time
DNS changes usually show up within an hour, rarely up to 48 hours. If the check says "We can't see the TXT record yet", wait and choose Check again. If it says "Ownership confirmed", the TXT record is fine and only the CNAME is still missing.
Make a domain your main address
The first domain that goes live becomes your Main address automatically. If you connect several:
- Find the live domain you want.
- Choose Make main.
Your other domains and the free address then redirect to the main one. A domain must be Live before it can be made main.
HTTPS
There's nothing to set up. As soon as a domain is live, Tourtify issues a certificate on the first visit and renews it automatically ("Secure https, renewed automatically").
Limits
You can connect up to 5 domains. To add another, choose Disconnect on one you no longer need.
A domain can only be connected to one Tourtify website. If you see "This domain is already connected to a Tourtify site", contact support.
Disconnect a domain
Choose Disconnect next to it. Visitors to that domain stop reaching your website; remove the DNS records at your provider afterwards. Only owners and admins can change domains.
