You can connect any Custom Domain you own with your Dropshiply Store without needing a Hosting Server.
To Connect a domain, you just need to follow the steps below:
Pre-requisites:
You must have an unused domain name or you can get one from Hostlegends at this link here : https://billing.hostlegends.com/cart.php?a=add&domain=register
Step 1: Log in to your dashboard and go to Domain Settings available in the Settings menu in the sidebar.
Step 2: Now on the Domain Settings page, click on the (+) Request a domain button in the Requested Domain box.
Step 3: Then in the popup, you can add your custom domain, which you want to connect. But before connecting you need to make sure that you have added the DNS Records in your Domain Registrars Control Panel which are mentioned in the popup just below the custom domain input.
This is a mandatory step that needs to be done.
Here's how you can do it:
1. Log in to your Domain Registrar Control Panel, either it may be Namecheap, GoDaddy, Google Domains, etc.
2. You need to select A record and add your Domain Name in the Name column and then add the IP Address which is mentioned in the popup in the Value column.
3. After that you need to add another record which is the CNAME record.
Select CNAME and add www in the Name column and then add mydropshiply.com in the Value column.
You can take a reference of the records from the below table.
| TYPE | RECORD | VALUE |
| A | yourdomainname.com | As mentioned in the popup |
| CNAME | www | mydropshiply.com |
4. After you have successfully and correctly added these records you can click the CONNECT button.
Please Note:
DNS migration/propagation may take about 24-48 hours of time so you've to be patient for that much time to get this done.
That's it!
