Bigstore bz new domain

You're looking to create a new domain for your BigStore BZ (BigCommerce) store!

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you set up a new domain for your BigStore BZ:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a BigCommerce store set up.
  2. You have a domain name registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
  3. You have a domain name that you want to use for your BigStore BZ (e.g., [yourstorename].com).

Step 1: Register your domain name

If you haven't already, register your domain name with a registrar. Make sure to choose a registrar that supports DNS management.

Step 2: Set up DNS records

Create the following DNS records for your domain:

  1. A record: Point your domain's A record to BigCommerce's IP address (185.199.108.153).
  2. CNAME record: Create a CNAME record for your domain, pointing to store.bigcommerce.com.

Here's an example of what the DNS records might look like:

Record Type Hostname Value
A @ 185.199.108.153
CNAME store store.bigcommerce.com

Step 3: Update your BigCommerce store settings

Log in to your BigCommerce store and go to Settings > Domains. Click on Add Domain and enter your new domain name.

Step 4: Verify your domain

BigCommerce will ask you to verify your domain ownership. You can do this by creating a TXT record or uploading an HTML file to your domain's root directory.

Step 5: Set up SSL certificates

To ensure your store is secure, you'll need to set up SSL certificates for your new domain. BigCommerce offers free SSL certificates, or you can use a third-party SSL provider.

Step 6: Update your store's URL

Once your domain is set up and verified, update your store's URL to use your new domain name.

That's it! Your BigStore BZ should now be set up with a new domain. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
