Connect your own domain

Go to the left menu → Website and scroll down to “Domains”. Your free address (yourname.zelobooking.com) is always on.

Under “Connect a domain you own”, type the domain you bought (1) — for example yoursalon.com, without “www” or “https” — and click “Continue” (2).

We look up who manages your domain. Under “Main address”, keep the recommended www.yoursalon.com (1) — it works with every provider. Both addresses will work; the other one simply forwards to it.

Then click the button (2):

• “Connect automatically with …” — shown when your provider supports one-click setup. You sign in at your provider, approve, and come straight back. No typing records.
• “Show the DNS records to add” (or “I’ll add the records myself”) — to set it up by hand.

You’ll see three steps (1): DNS records, Verify & issue SSL, Live. Below is a table of records to add. For each one, copy the “Name / Host” and the “Value / Points to” (2) with the copy buttons, and add it in your provider’s DNS settings (look for “DNS”, “DNS records” or “Zone editor”).

One of them is a TXT record named “_zelobooking-verify” with a value starting “zb-verify=”. It’s unique to your business and proves the domain is yours, so no other ZeloBooking business can claim it. Once we find it, the card says “Ownership proven”.

Then click “Check DNS now”. Each record shows “In place” once we find it.

When all records are in place, we issue your free SSL certificate automatically. The domain’s badge changes from “Waiting for DNS” to “Active” (1). Your free address keeps working the whole time.

Use “Setup” (2) to see the records again; “Make main” chooses which domain is your main one if you connect more than one.
