After purchasing a domain from a third-party domain provider, such as Domeneshop, PRO ISP or other providers you need to connect your domain to your Storeshop webshop. Connecting your domain to Storeshop directs your URL to your Storeshop webshop so that customers can enter their URL into their web browser to visit your online store.
After connecting your domain to Storeshop, you still need to log in to your third-party domain provider to manage domain settings, pay for your domain, and renew it.Before you start, please make sure you have your login credentials handy for your domain registrar. These are the details you used when you registered your domain name.
Step 1: Locate DNS Settings
First, log into your account with your domain registrar. Once you've logged in, find the section for managing DNS (Domain Name System) settings. This could be under a heading such as 'DNS Management,' 'Name Server Management,' or 'Advanced Settings.'
Step 2: Edit A Records
Next, look for your domain's A Records. This is where you'll set your domain to point to our IP address.
1. Click on the 'Edit' or 'Change' option next to the A Record for your domain. If there is no A Record set up yet, you might need to create a new one.
2. Enter your domain name in the 'Name' or 'Host' field.
3. In the 'Points to' or 'IP Address' field, enter the IP address that we have provided you with.
4. Leave the TTL (Time To Live) setting as it is unless you have a specific reason to change it.
5. Save the changes.
Step 3: Confirm Changes
Changes to your DNS settings can take up to 48 hours to propagate across the internet, so don't worry if your domain isn't pointing to our IP address immediately.
When you have completed all 3 steps, send us an email that you have completed the changes and what url you want the webshop to be connected to.
