How to 301 Redirect an Additional Domain to a Web Store Domain

1321 views Less than a minute 0

Your web store can have one primary domain and several non-primary domains that 301 redirect to the primary domain.

Subdomains

If your domain is a subdomain, e.g. www.domain.com or sub.domain.com, these domains can be pointed to a CNAME record using your web store domain, e.g. mystore.store.commercebuild.com. (note: older stores may be using our previous domain format: mystore.mysagestore.com)

Naked Domains

If your domain is a naked domain (not a subdomain), e.g. domain.com or anotherdomain.com, it will need to be pointed to an A record using the same IP address of your web store domain, e.g. mystore.store.commercebuild.com. (note: older stores may be using our previous domain format: mystore.mysagestore.com)

Example DNS Configuration

Your final configuration may look something like this:

Please note that the example above is for a site hosted in our North America region, for which the load balancer IP address is 35.227.135.234.

In our Australia region, the A record would point to 34.87.242.173.

In our Europe region, the A record would point to 35.241.149.244.
