Custom Listing Domains

Give a listing its own domain like www.123mainstreet.com. A memorable URL works much better than a long slug on yard signs, flyers, and social campaigns. You have two ways to set one up, both from the listing's Property Website section (or the URL & Domain panel in the Website Editor) under Add Custom Domain.

Buy a domain

The fastest path. On the Buy tab, pick from the suggestions based on the property address or search for a specific name, then pay by card. Photeria registers the domain and configures DNS automatically, usually within a minute, and the site goes live on it. No DNS work on your end. Purchased domains stay with the listing permanently and can't be removed.

Connect a domain you own

On the Connect tab, enter your domain and click Add Domain. Photeria then shows the DNS records you need to create.

Add the DNS records

At your registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.), add the records Photeria gives you:

The A and CNAME records route traffic; the TXT record proves you own the domain. Use the copy buttons to avoid typos. Then come back and click Verify DNS. Propagation is usually 1-5 minutes, but can take up to 48 hours in the worst case.

A couple of shortcuts:

• For a subdomain like listing.yourco.com, you only need the CNAME to listings.photeria.io.
• For an apex domain like yourco.com, you need the A record.
• SSL is handled automatically. No HTTPS setup needed.

Status and verifying

After you add records, Verify DNS checks each one and shows you what matched and what didn't, with the expected and found values so you can fix mistakes. The domain moves through Pending DNS, then Provisioning (issuing the SSL certificate), then Active once it's fully live. If it shows Error, recheck your records and verify again.

Removing a domain

You can remove a connected domain from the Custom Domain area, which reverts the listing to its default Photeria URL. Purchased domains can't be removed; they stay with the listing.
