Follow these instructions and you'll be able to:

1. Register a domain name that matches your new listing's address.
2. Create a custom web page for that listing.
3. Point the domain name at the new custom web page.

1. Register a domain name that matches your new listing.

1) Login to your website and click the "Website" button located at the top of the screen.

2) Click "My Domains."

3) On the "Domain Manager" screen, select the "Add / Transfer a Domain" button.

4) On the next screen, "Add a Domain Step 1: Find a Domain," enter the domain name for the address of the listing (ex. 123GreenStreet.com) and click the "Search" button.

5) iMaxWebSolutions runs a search to see if the domain name is available. If the domain name is already registered to someone else, the WHOIS record for that domain is displayed.

6) If it's not registered, the next screen, "Add a Domain: Step 2: Register Your New Domain," will inform you that the domain is available. Press the "Register" button.

7) On "Step 3: Confirm Registration," you will see three fields listed. In the "Domain" field, check to make sure the domain name you entered is the one you want to register. Make sure there are no typos as well. The other 2 fields "Site Name" and "Site Email Address" should contain the default information for your website account. If everything looks OK, press the "Confirm" button. Otherwise, click "Return" to make corrections.
