What is Shopify?

Shopify is a complete e-commerce platform that allows users to create and manage an online store without needing advanced programming knowledge. It is one of the most popular e-commerce solutions in the world, offering an easy-to-use interface and a wide range of features.

When you create a store, the website files are hosted directly on Shopify's servers. Unlike traditional hosting, where the DNS zone is included in the purchased service, using the Shopify platform requires connecting a domain through an active DNS zone. This DNS zone is essential for configuring the nameservers and redirecting the domain to Shopify's servers. Without this operation, the platform will not be able to associate with the domain related to the store.

Hostico services offer complete hosting solutions that include a fully configurable DNS. Regardless of the chosen hosting package, users can benefit from support for configuring nameservers and for redirecting domains to Shopify. The Hostico technical team can assist with the necessary settings to connect the domain to the Shopify e-commerce platform, ensuring a quick and easy setup.

If you already own a domain registered with another provider, by purchasing a hosting package from Hostico, you have the option to request the domain transfer to us, in order to simplify the nameserver configuration.
