Custom domain
Use your own domain, not a borrowed address.
Connect yourbusiness.com to your ShopFront website by adding two DNS records at your registrar. We check them for you, set up HTTPS automatically, and you keep full control of your domain.
What you do not need
- To change your nameservers or move your DNS to us
- To buy or install a security certificate
- A developer to set it up
- To touch the email you already use on that domain
How it works
- 1
Add your domain
In your dashboard, choose Add domain and type the domain you own, for example yourbusiness.com.
- 2
Add two DNS records
We show you exactly what to enter: an A record for yourbusiness.com and a CNAME record for www. Add them where you bought the domain, and remove any old record for the same name.

We check, then you are live
We re-check your DNS every minute and show a green tick for each record that is right. When both are, your site is live on your domain with HTTPS.

DNS instructions and connection status, together
The domain panel shows the A and CNAME records to copy to your registrar, alongside domain checks and HTTPS status. This capture shows a connected domain; use the values in your own dashboard when setting up yours.

Works with any registrar
GoDaddy, Namecheap, your hosting company or anywhere else you manage DNS. It is just two standard records.
Automatic HTTPS
A free certificate for your domain is issued and renewed for you. The padlock appears without any work on your side.
You keep control
We never take over your DNS and you never change nameservers. You can disconnect the domain from your dashboard at any time.
Clear checks, not guesswork
The dashboard shows which record is right and which still needs fixing, so you are not left wondering whether it worked.
One main address
Your site has one main address (with or without www) and the other redirects to it, so visitors and search engines see a single site.
Your email keeps working
These two records do not touch your MX records, so email you already use on the domain carries on as before.

Questions, answered
How long does it take?
Most registrars apply DNS changes within minutes, though some take a few hours. We check every minute, so your site goes live as soon as your records are right.
Do I need to change my nameservers?
No. You add two records and leave your nameservers exactly where they are.
Which records do I add?
An A record for your main domain (for example yourbusiness.com) and a CNAME record for www. The dashboard shows the exact values to copy.
My domain is on Cloudflare. Anything special?
Set the two records to DNS only (the grey cloud) instead of Proxied, so we can issue your HTTPS certificate.
Will my existing email stop working?
No. Adding these records does not change your MX records, which are what deliver email.
Which plans include a custom domain?
The 5 Pages plan (₹79/month) and above.
Where do I buy a domain?
From any domain registrar. We do not sell domains. Buy one, then connect it here.
Can I disconnect it later?
Yes, any time from your dashboard. We stop serving the domain. Removing the records at your registrar is up to you.
