Connect a .site.ink domain to Shopify

Use your name for a Shopify store.

Steps

  1. In Shopify admin, open Settings → Domains → Connect existing domain and enter your domain.
  2. Add the A record and the www CNAME at your DNS host, and remove any other A records for the root name.
  3. Return to Shopify and select Verify connection.

DNS records

TypeHostValue
A@23.227.38.65
CNAMEwwwshops.myshopify.com

"@" means the name itself (yourname.site.ink). "www" means www.yourname.site.ink.

If the platform suggests a CNAME for your root name

Because site.ink is not on the Public Suffix List yet, some platforms treat yourname.site.ink as a subdomain and suggest a CNAME record. A CNAME is not allowed at the root of your name, so use the A (and AAAA) records above instead, or an ALIAS/ANAME record if your DNS host offers one. Why?

Check your setup

DNS changes usually apply within minutes but can take up to a day. Look up your name in WHOIS to confirm the nameservers, and make sure your domain status is not inactive or on hold.
