How do I link my domain to BigCommerce?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:26 am

If you want to link your domain to BigCommerce, you will need to create a custom DNS record. To do this, you will need to go to your domain registrar and create a CNAME record. The CNAME record will look something like this:

BigCommerce.com CNAME BigCommerce.

mydomain.com.

Once you have created the CNAME record, you will need to create a DNS record for your BigCommerce store. The DNS record will look something like this:

PRO TIP: If you are linking your domain to BigCommerce, be aware that you may experience some downtime while your DNS settings propagate. Additionally, be sure to use the correct DNS settings provided by BigCommerce – using any other DNS settings may result in your domain not working properly.

BigCommerce.mydomain.com A 192.

168.1.

Once you have created the DNS record, you will need to add the DNS record to your hostname settings on your BigCommerce account. To do this, you will need to go to your BigCommerce account settings and click on Hosting and then under Settings for Your Domain, click on the Add A Domain link.

Once you have added the DNS record, you will need to enter the CNAME record into the Domain field and the IP address of your BigCommerce store into the Hostname field.
