Where Are DNS Records Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 4:51 am

DNS records are the heart of the internet. They are what tell your computer where to find websites and how to connect to them. DNS records are stored on servers all around the world.

Shopify is a Canadian e-commerce company headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario. It is also the name of its proprietary e-commerce platform for online stores and retail point-of-sale systems.

Shopify was founded in 2004 by Tobias Lütke, Daniel Weinand, and Scott Lake. Shopify has been in business since 2006 and offers a platform for businesses of all sizes to create an online store. In addition to being an e-commerce platform, Shopify also offers a wide range of services such as payments, shipping, marketing, and customer support.

DNS records are an essential part of Shopify’s operations. Without DNS records, Shopify would not be able to function.

PRO TIP: DNS records for Shopify stores can be found in the Shopify admin under “Domains”. However, these DNS records are not necessarily the same as the DNS records for your domain name. If you are looking for DNS records for your domain name, you will need to contact your domain registrar or DNS provider.

All of Shopify’s DNS records are stored on servers located in Canada.Shopify uses a variety of different DNS record types to provide a robust and reliable service to its customers. A few of the most common DNS record types used by Shopify are:

A records – An A record is used to map a domain or subdomain to an IP address.

MX records – MX records are used to route email for a domain or subdomain.

CNAME records – CNAME records are used to map a subdomain to another domain or subdomain.

Shopify also utilizes other DNS record types such as TXT, SPF, and DKIM records to further secure its email system and prevent spam and phishing attacks.
