You can read more here about the various options we offer to host your newsroom, but if you're already sure you want to set up a subdirectory, here's the lowdown.
This option costs an additional €147 per month, which includes technical setup costs and any ongoing maintenance.
This setup only works for Nginx and Apache reverse proxy directives. Since we don't officially support other methods, we cannot help you if something goes wrong.
Example of a subdirectory: www.yourdomain.com/news/
Why a subdirectory?
The subdirectory hosting method is the only way to have your newsroom hosted on your main domain. This makes the newsroom feel like a part of your website, looks the most professional and according to many SEO-experts has the most SEO contribution to your domain authority.
Subdirectory setup
In order to host your newsroom as a subdirectory of your main domain, you need to make changes to the configuration of your web server. We have confirmed compatibility with both Nginx and Apache web servers.
You need to alter your web server's configuration file by adding a reverse proxy directive that routes all traffic on the chosen subdirectory to your pr.co subdomain (example.pr.co).
Once that is all set up on your side, we can put your newsroom in reverse proxy mode and have it respond to your domain and subdirectory combination (example.com/news).
Subdirectory instructions
Because we need to provide technical assistance from our side, we need one of our technical account managers to send you the instructions and be there to verify your setup every step of the way.
Please contact support with your desired subdirectory and the contact details of your IT contact person. We will then send them (with you in copy) the initial instructions to help them set up the reverse proxy.
Once this has been set up, we'll go and verify this from our side. There's usually a bit of back and forth until we find the perfect configuration for your setup.
