Why it matters

A domain isn’t decoration. It’s the booking.

Guests trust businesses with their own domain. They share them on WhatsApp. They remember them. They book direct — and you keep the 25% Viator would have taken.

Look like a real business

A site at yourtour.com closes guests that a subdomain never will. Custom domains are the difference between a hobby and a brand.

SSL on by default

Every custom domain is issued a free SSL certificate automatically. Renewed forever. Zero configuration.

Own your Google ranking

Build SEO equity on a domain you own — not a subdomain you’d lose if you ever left. Indexed and server-rendered out of the box.

Edge-fast everywhere

Served from Vercel’s global edge. Sub-second loads for guests in Madrid, Tokyo, or Buenos Aires — the markets your tours actually sell to.

Switch in one click

Already published on the free subdomain? Add a domain and Directour redirects everything automatically. No broken links.

Apex, www, or subdomain — all welcome

Point yourtour.com, www.yourtour.com, or book.yourtour.com. We handle the redirects between them.

How it works

Four steps. About five minutes.

01

Buy a domain anywhere

Namecheap, Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Porkbun — any registrar works. Already own one? Use it.

02

Paste it into Directour

In your site settings, enter yourtour.com. We show you the exact DNS record to add — usually one A record or CNAME.

03

Add the DNS record

Copy-paste into your registrar’s dashboard. Most propagate in under five minutes, sometimes faster.

04

We do the rest

SSL is issued automatically. Your site is live at your domain. Every guest who books direct skips Viator’s 25% cut.

Free vs custom

The same site. A very different first impression.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Where do I buy a domain?
We recommend Cloudflare or Namecheap — both run around $10–12/year for a .com. If you already have one parked somewhere, you can move it or just point it.
How long does it take to go live?
Once you add the DNS record, most domains are live with SSL in under five minutes. A small number can take up to a few hours depending on your registrar.
Do I have to be technical?
No. We show you the exact record to add and screenshots for the most common registrars. If you get stuck, paste your registrar name into support and we’ll walk you through it.
Can I keep the free subdomain too?
Yes. Your yourtour.directour.io URL stays live and automatically redirects to your custom domain, so any links you’ve already shared keep working.
What if I have multiple sites?
On Pro you can connect a custom domain to each of your 3 sites. On Business it’s unlimited — handy if you run several experiences under different brands.
Can I move my domain away later?
Of course. Your domain belongs to you, not Directour. Cancel anytime, point the DNS elsewhere, and you’re gone with zero lock-in.
