How to Connect a Domain to Shopify
Search results for: ""
Shopify is one of the most popular platforms for setting up an online store. If you want to sell products through this platform, you will need to point your domain to the server where the Shopify store is set up.
To point your domain to Shopify, you will need to change two DNS records. If you have a hosting package with us in addition to your domain, you can do this in the cPanel control panel. If you only have a domain and no hosting, you can change the DNS records in the My NEOSERV subscription centre.
The process of setting up the appropriate DNS records is straightforward via the cPanel Control Panel or the My NEOSERV Subscription Centre. However, if you have any problems, we will be happy to help you and take care of the correct settings for you – free of charge. Contact us on 059 335 000 or email us at info@neoserv.si.
Directions
- Connect your domain to Shopify via cPanel (if you also have a hosting package)
- Connecting a domain to Shopify with NEOSERV DNS hosting
Connect a domain to Shopify via cPanel
Do you have a domain registered with us and are also a web hosting subscriber? In this case, you can change your DNS records in the cPanel control panel.
1. Log in to the cPanel Control Panel (login instructions).
2. In the DOMAINS section, click on the Zone Editor icon.
3. In the list, find the domain you want to associate with your Shopify store and click on MANAGE.
4. In the list, find the row with the A record with your domain in the first column. Then click EDIT and replace the record where the IP number is added with the following: 23.227.38.65
5. Save your changes by clicking on the blue SAVE RECORD button.
6. Then find the CNAME record row in the list and click EDIT again. Change the Record and replace it with the following: shops.myshopify.com
7. Save your changes by clicking on the blue SAVE RECORD button.
We advise you to change the TTL value for both the A record and the CNAME record from 14400 to 300. This will allow you to verify the domain connection in your Shopify store in 300 seconds (5 minutes). Otherwise you have to wait 14400 seconds (4 hours).
Connecting a domain to Shopify with NEOSERV DNS hosting
Have a domain registered with us but haven’t decided on a web hosting package? In this case, you can change your DNS records using the free DNS hosting service at the My NEOSERV Subscription Centre.
1. Log in to the My NEOSERV Subscription Centre (login instructions).
2. Navigate to YOUR DOMAIN / HOSTING and click on the domain you want to associate with your Shopify store in the list of services.
3. Select Edit DNS records, then click on Enable DNS record editing in the bottom right corner. This will activate DNS hosting.
4. Click on the ADD DNS RECORD button and add a new A record. Leave the “Name:” field blank, set the TTL to 300, and enter the IP address 23 .227.38.65in the field below.
5. Click on the Add button to create a new A record.
6. Click the ADD DNS RECORD button again to add a new CNAME record. In the “Name:” box, type www and set the TTL value to 300, and in the address field below, type: shops.myshopify.com
7. Click the Add button to create a new CNAME record.
If you have followed the procedure and therefore only recently activated DNS hosting, wait 4-24 hours for the DNS servers to refresh. However, if you had DNS hosting activated from before, the domain will point to your Shopify store within 5-10 minutes.
