Questions OwnerRez operators ask
Do I have to leave OwnerRez?
No. OwnerRez keeps running your listings, calendar, channels and payments. hostFront is the direct channel on top.
Who collects the guest's payment?
OwnerRez does. Guests pay on your OwnerRez checkout, so payouts work exactly as they do today and hostAI never holds guest funds.
Do I need an OwnerRez add-on?
Yes, one: WordPress Plugin + Integrated Sites, which you turn on under Account → Billing. hostAI uses it to read your full listing content.
Can a direct booking double-book a date?
Direct bookings land in OwnerRez as reservations, so your calendar and other channels update the way they do for any booking.
Can I keep my own domain?
Yes. The site goes live on your domain, and we set it up with you.
How long does it take?
Connecting takes a few minutes. Your preview can be ready in as little as 24 hours.
Is there a contract?
No. Plans are month to month.

Quote it when we set up your site. We take $250 off each of your first four monthly invoices. It applies to sign-ups before January 1, 2027, for OwnerRez customers new to hostAI.
