1
Start your REALsite
Sign up — your site arrives furnished (pages, forms, menu) at
yourname.myrealsite.ca. Your old site notices nothing.2
Run the import
Website → Bring my site → enter your current address → Bring my site over.
As the import runs, completed pages and articles appear as drafts. Review
saved old URLs, skipped content and any possible exclusive listings.
Importing does not send email or change your old website.

Review your content in the new design
Use Review page to open Design and Review article to open Blog.
Check the copy and photos, then mark the item Reviewed. This saves your
progress without publishing. Publish page visibility separately in
Pages, and articles in Blog. This is the moment to try a different
theme on — your content came as content, not as your
old site’s layout, so it fits any of the five.

Connect the feed
Open Listings → All listings → Your MLS® feed and connect your
authorized DDF® feed. Follow the feed setup.
Compare the actual search, listing details and coverage with the features
you need before planning the domain change. Recreate any past sales or
exclusive listings that are not supplied by the feed and that you are
permitted to display.
5
Point your domain
Connect a domain you already own (connection and SSL are included — we’ll
walk you through the DNS). New registrations and renewals cost extra.
First confirm who hosts your email and preserve its mail records.
After the change, open your new site and important old URLs in a browser.
Check that forwards reach published pages, email sends and receives, and
a visitor inquiry reaches your inbox. Keep the old service until these
checks pass; redirects do not guarantee unchanged search rankings.
6
Keep the receipts
Pages → Redirects shows every forward and how often it’s used —
use it to investigate missing destinations. Return to Bring my site
to complete the saved launch checklist and review any remaining items.
