Enable RMS IBE to be configured as a subdomain of our website
Many cloud based systems can be configured as a subdomain of a website, either using mx record and or redirects.
It would be useful if we could configure a subdomain such as book.ourdomain.com.au to redirect to the IBE for a particular property, and for the IBE to function correctly from search to booking completion.

Thank you for your suggestion on a way we can improve RMS.
Subdomain Forwarding is a feature available with the property’s domain or web host and is setup outside of RMS.
Whilst instructions to configure vary per provider and their documentation should be referred to for the specific steps you can forward a subdomain to the RMS IBE property website or tailor it to be Category specific using the RMS IBE URL Modifiers linked below.

Setup the preferred subdomain eg. book.yourdomain.com and then setup the Subdomain Forwarding for that subdomain to redirect visitors to the preferred RMS IBE URL.
Below are some external links to instructions for Subdomain Forwarding with various domain hosts. If your specific domain host is not listed, please refer to their documentation for instructions as this is setup outside of RMS.

Thanks for the feedback, I understand that subdomain forwarding is external from RMS, I just wasn't sure if the IBE was going to function correctly in respect of flow from search to booking to confirmation. I will give it a try.
