Travefy allows you to use a domain that you own in two places.
One is your website's address such as
Another is the URL your clients see when sharing an itinerary, proposal, or form link with them. Example: https://CulinaryToursOfNebraska.com/trip/6yw9rqyxvmgsqz2axadd2j4q8b9tcka
To set this up, you will need to follow the steps below!
Note: If the website/landing page you're building with Travefy's website builder will be your primary website, follow this first set of instructions. If you have another website that shares the domain you want to use with your Travefy site, skip to Option B below.
Option A
1. Purchase a domain from a provider like GoDaddy or Google Domains.
2. Go to your Domain Masking settings in your Travefy account
There are two ways to get there!
#1. In Travefy, go to https://travefy.com/a/trips and click your Name, then Account.
On the next page, click Settings and then Setup Domain.
#2. In Travefy, go to https://travefy.com/a/trips and click your Name, then Website.
On the Website page, click the little cog in the top left corner.
From there, under the General tab, click on Setup Domain.
3. Enable Custom Domain and input domain information
Click on Enable Custom Domain
From there, select the second option in Step 1 and input your domain and click on Save Domain.
4. Go to GoDaddy
Log in and click on your name in the top right corner. A drop-down menu will appear. Click on My Products to find your domain!
5. Go to your DNS Settings
Click on DNS on the right side of your domain, and you'll be taken to the DNS panel!
6. Add an A Record in your domain provider's DNS area
If there are other A Name records, you will have to delete all but one.
Then edit the remaining A Name record to match what what shows in your Travefy account!
7. Add a CNAME Record
Sometimes this will already be done for you. But you will want to have a CNAME record that has "www" in the Name field and your domain in the data field.
Example:
8. Test Settings
After a few minutes, go back into Travefy and click Test Settings. You should get a success message if the instructions were followed correctly!
9. Wait 24 hours
This will give your domain provider and Travefy time to sync up. During that time, you'll notice issues like landing on the Trips page when typing in your domain or you might notice your site's SSL certificate isn't set. This is normal. Don't touch anything in either account. If things still aren't working after that 24-hour period, message professional@travefy.com or set up a domain masking session to get help from our support team!

Option B: Only Do This If You Have Another Site You Want To Use With The Same Domain
1. Enable Custom Domain and input domain information
Instead of choosing the second option from step 3 above, you'll choose the first option.
After saving your domain, you'll see this screen.
2. Add a CNAME Record
In your GoDaddy DNS dashboard, add only a CNAME record. You'll use "trips" for the Name field and the value you find in your Travefy account for the Value field.
3. Test Settings
After a few minutes, go back into Travefy and click Test Settings. You should get a success message if everything went according to plan.
7. Wait 24 hours
This will give your domain provider and Travefy time to sync up. During that time, you'll notice issues like landing on the Trips page when typing in your domain or you might notice your site's SSL certificate isn't set. This is normal. Don't touch anything in either account. If things still aren't working after that 24-hour period, message professional@travefy.com or set up a domain masking session to get help from our support team!
