Connect your domain to Shopify
To point a website to Shopify from our server with cPanel, you need to update the DNS records of your domain to direct it to Shopify.
- Access cPanel: Log in to cPanel. You can usually do this by visiting https://yourdomain.com/cpanel
- Locate the DNS Zone Editor: In cPanel, search for and select the option “Zone Editor” or “DNS Zone Editor”.
- Select Your Domain: Choose the domain you want to configure for Shopify.
- Set Up the Necessary DNS Records for Shopify: You will need to configure two types of records: an A record and a CNAME record.
A Record (for the root domain - yourdomain.com): This record connects your root domain to Shopify's IP address. Use the following information:
- Record Type: A
- Name: @ or yourdomain.com (If your domain is mydomain.com, leave the field blank or use @, depending on cPanel).
- Points to: 23.227.38.65
- TTL: 120 (or the default value).
CNAME Record (for www.yourdomain.com): This record ensures that the subdomain www.yourdomain.com points to Shopify's domain.
- Record Type: CNAME
- Name: www
- Points to: shops.myshopify.com
- TTL: 120 (or the default value).
After making these changes, the DNS records may take from a few minutes to up to 48 hours to fully propagate globally.
Once the DNS records are configured in cPanel, go to your Shopify admin panel to add this domain to your account.
You can find the steps to connect your domain to Shopify in the following guide: Connect your external domain to Shopify manually · Shopify Help Center
