This page explains how to setup your own domain name with a SSL certificate

Showing the booking page securely requires using an SSL certificate for the secure https protocol.

Beds24~~.com~~ has a certificate but if you use your own domain with our certificate the browser will show a warning message.

Beds24 has a certificate but if you use your own domain with our certificate the browser will show a warning message becasue the certificate must match your domain name.

We can ~~purchase~~ and ~~install~~ a ~~certificate~~, ~~provide~~ you with a private ~~ip address and a~~ reverse proxy server ~~on our servers for a fee.~~

Experienced network administrators can set the SSL up themselves using one of the options below:

= Option 1: Using Cloudflare for SSL to open your control panel login=

Cloudflare is only recommended for low traffic sites.

This has been tested and works on the cloudflare.com free plan.

1) Create an account for your domain at Cloudflare.

2) Move your nameservers from your current host to Cloudflare.

3) Setup your DNS at Cloudflare for all existing services at your domain and sub domains. Cloudflare will attempt to do this automatically.

4) Add a CNAME record at Cloudflare for your private label domain or sub domain pointing to '''admin.beds24.com''' with proxy status = '''Proxied'''

5) Go to the SSL/TLS menu in Cloudflare and change "SSL" = '''Full'''.

6) Go to SSL/TLS -> Edge Certificates -> At Bottom page -> Enable Universal SSL

7) Wait up to 24 hours and your domain should open with https://

8) Once https:// is working, go to the SSL/TLS -> Edge Certificates menu in Cloudflare and set "Always use HTTPS" = ON

= Option 2: Using Cloudflare for SSL to open your booking page=

Cloudflare is only recommended for low traffic sites.

1) Follow all the steps above in "Using Cloudflare for SSL to open your control panel login"

2) Go to the menu "Page Rules in Cloudflare

3) Add a new rule and for "If the URL matches" enter your private label domain.

4) Add the rule type "Forwarding Url" with "Permanent 301" type

5) For the forwarding domain, enter your private label domain and add '''booking.php?propid=12345''' where 12345 is the property you want to open. You can open all properties with '''booking.php?ownerid=1234''' where 1234 is your Beds24 owner id number.

for example https://my.private.domain.com/booking.php?propid=12345

= Option 3: Installing your own reverse proxy server=

It is possible to do this yourself on your own server.

These instructions are for a LAMP server.

You will need root access to your server, the ability to configure apache and the ability to install a SSL certificate. In principle a small virtual server should be adequate.

1) Setup a LAMP server for your domain.

Line 81:

5) Create an A record for your domain pointing at your proxy server's IP address. If you have previously created a CNAME record for non SSL don't forget to remove it.

6) Install mod_evasive to block excessive traffic from individual IP's and prevent your entire proxy being blacklisted

apt-get install libapache2-mod-evasive

These are appropriate configuration values to enter in evasive.conf

<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> If you are not using a LAMP proxy server, make sure your server sends requests with HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST set as your domain name.

= Option 4: Fully managed secure proxy from Beds24=

We can purchase and install a certificate, provide you with a private ip address and a reverse proxy server on our servers for a fee.
