Now Introducing: Full-Service Custom Domain Hosting
We’re excited to announce a significant enhancement to professional property management websites: full support for custom domains! Whether you already own a domain like www.choicepropertymanagement.com or plan to register one, Rentec Direct now offers full-service hosting.
Website domain hosting includes:
- Domain hosting
- SSL encryption (https)
- Enterprise-grade firewall protection
- Content hosting and management
It’s a complete, secure, and professional web hosting solution designed specifically for property managers.
To get started, follow the steps here: Using Your Own Domain For Your Website
Why use a custom domain?
- A More Professional Appearance: Your website will display as www.yourcompany.com, giving your brand a polished and trustworthy look.
- Better SEO and Web Presence: Search engines like Google give priority to branded domain names. This increases your chances of appearing higher in local search results for property management services. More owners will find your property management services, and tenants will find your listings quicker.
- Enhanced Trust with SSL Encryption: Your domain will include an automatically renewing SSL certificate, ensuring a secure, encrypted connection for your clients.
What does this cost?
Rentec Direct is committed to your success, and offers the domain hosting, including your professional website for only $50 per month.
Bonus: Start using this service before September 30, 2025 and we’ll discount your first year of domain hosting by 50%.
To use a custom domain, you’ll need to purchase one from a registrar such as GoDaddy, Bluehost, Squarespace, or HostGator. Once that domain is purchased, you can follow the steps to host your domain through Rentec Direct.
Why so affordable?
We recognize the nearest competitors hosting property management websites can charge between $150 all the way up to $3,000 per month. Rentec Direct is different in that we are committed to your success, and we want to help you grow your business. If we can help you grow your business it is good for all of us. We believe having a professional web presence is critical for growing your business so we offer it at an extremely low wholesale rate.
We do have a cost in managing the SSL encryption and firewall for your domain, so we only pass along what our estimated costs are for that service.
Do I have to pay for the SSL certificate for my domain?
No, as part of the hosting, Rentec Direct will purchase the services necessary to host your website with a SSL certificate. SSL Certificates require regular renewal, and Rentec Direct will manage that process and pay any costs associated with it.
What if I don’t want a domain?
No problem, Rentec Direct still offers a free property management website for all Rentec Pro and PM clients which is accessible at https://propertymanage.biz/[yourbrand]. This is a great way to get started, but as you grow it’s a great idea to consider purchasing a domain and hosting it on your domain which will make your brand look more professional, and help with search results. In short, clients will find you easier if you have your own domain.
How does this differ from domain options we already offer?
In addition to the free website we offer you at propertymanage.biz, there are two domain forwarding services offered by Rentec Direct, and they are still available.
- Forwarding from your registrar. You can still purchase your own domain and have it forwarded to your custom website at Rentec Direct. Many registrars do this at little to no cost. With this, your clients can type in www.yourdomain.com, and they will be automatically redirected to https://propertymanage.biz/yourbrand. The web address of propertymanage.biz/yourbrand will show in their web browser and at search engines so you get the full impact of a custom website, but do not get the benefits of a custom domain. Please see instructions here: Using Your Own Domain For Your Website
- Forwarding using Rentec Direct. In the past, we’ve also offered a forwarding service. If your domain was pointed at our server, we would redirect it to https://propertymanage.biz/yourbrand. This method has become less effective recently because it does not use SSL and most web browsers are showing warnings for users who are forwarded through a non-SSL hosted domain. Because the effectiveness of this forwarding option is no longer practical with modern browsers, we do not offer this solution any longer.
