Frequently asked questions

How do I connect my domain name to Shopify?

This guide is based on Shopifys own user manual.

NOTE: This guide also assumes that the domain uses Domainnameshop's name servers. If you do not do this, DNS pointers will not appear as an option in the domain's control panel.

To create, change or delete DNS pointers for your domain, do the following:

1. Log in to the control panel at www.domainnameshop.com/login
2. Click on My Domains
3. Click on the relevant domain
4. Click on the DNS Pointers tab at the top of the page

Here you can manage DNS pointers, one line at a time. The system automatically handles the creation of A, AAAA, and CNAME pointers, depending on whether what you enter is an IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or a hostname.

The entries that must be in the data field are:

23.227.38.65
