What you get

Everything included with a custom domain.

SSL certificates, subdomain support, DNS instructions — no third-party services, no manual certificate uploads, no separate hosting.

Root domain

Connect yourname.com at the apex level. No prefix required. Shortest possible URL — the one you say out loud.

Subdomain

store.yourname.com, shop.yourname.com, learn.yourname.com — any subdomain works. Ideal if your main site is on the root.

Auto HTTPS

SSL certificate provisioned automatically after DNS verification. No manual upload, no yearly renewal. Padlock stays.

Any DNS provider

Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Squarespace — or wherever you bought the domain. Same setup everywhere.

5-minute setup

Enter your domain, copy the DNS record, click verify. No code, no support ticket, no waiting on tech.

Portable forever

You own the domain at your registrar, not us. Point it elsewhere anytime. Migrate without losing your URL.

SEO equity you own

Google indexes your store under yourname.com. Rankings, backlinks, authority — they build on your domain, not someone else's URL.

Email alignment

[email protected] pairs with a store on yourname.com. Consistent brand from cold outreach to checkout.

How to connect

How to connect a custom domain to your creator store

Two screens inside the dashboard — enter the domain, then wait a couple minutes while DNS propagates and HTTPS provisions itself.

Custom domain setup — enter yourname.com in the dashboard and receive the exact DNS record to paste into your registrar
Step 01 · Add domain

Enter yourname.com in the dashboard

Settings → Custom domain → type your address. Root (yourname.com) or subdomain (store.yourname.com) — both work. CreatorStore shows the exact DNS record you need to paste into your registrar. Copy it, open Namecheap/GoDaddy/Cloudflare in a new tab, paste it in, save.

  • Root and subdomain — both included
  • Exact DNS record shown per registrar
  • Any registrar works — buy from wherever you already have an account
Domain connected — status screen showing DNS verified and HTTPS certificate provisioned in a couple minutes
Step 02 · Wait for DNS

Domain connects in a couple minutes

Once you save the DNS record at your registrar, CreatorStore checks continuously. Usually 5–30 minutes for propagation — sometimes almost instant, occasionally up to a few hours depending on your DNS provider. HTTPS certificate provisions automatically the second DNS verifies. Store goes live at yourname.com without another click from you.

  • DNS propagation — typically 5–30 minutes
  • HTTPS certificate — auto-provisioned, no upload
  • Continuous check — you don't refresh anything
Store live at your own domain — CreatorStore loads at yourname.com with the padlock in the URL bar, HTTPS enabled
Step 03 · Live at your domain

Your store is now available at yourname.com

DNS is verified, HTTPS is provisioned, the store loads at your own address. Everything looks and works the same — products, sales pages, checkout, dashboard. Only the URL bar is different: yourname.com with the padlock, ready to share with customers, put on a business card, or send to a podcast guest.

  • Store loads at yourname.com — no redirect, no interstitial
  • Padlock in the URL bar — HTTPS active automatically
  • Ready to share on socials, cards, and cold outreach

About

Selling on your own domain — why the URL bar matters

A custom domain replaces the default CreatorStore URL (creatorstore.co/@you) with your own web address — yourname.com or store.yourname.com. Store content, products, checkout, and dashboard stay exactly the same. Only the address changes. You buy the domain from any registrar you already use and point it at CreatorStore via one DNS record.

The URL bar is the first line of your pitch. yourname.com reads as a real business — a shared platform URL reads as a tenant. When you're closing a $10K retainer, sending a link to a podcast guest, or handing a card to a conference lead, you want the address to work for you, not just point to you. CreatorStore auto-provisions the HTTPS certificate the moment DNS verifies — no manual SSL, no yearly renewals, no expired-cert warnings breaking checkout.

Root domain vs. subdomain — which to pick

Root (yourname.com): shortest, most memorable, cleanest to say out loud. Pick this if CreatorStore is the primary destination for your business — no separate main site.

Subdomain (store.yourname.com): works when you already have a main site on the root. Common: yourname.com is your portfolio or company site, store.yourname.com is where clients buy. Same SEO equity, one extra level in the URL.

Why SEO equity matters — the migration test

If Google indexes your store under a shared platform URL (someplatform.com/@you), every backlink you earn and every ranking you build is tied to that platform's URL. Switch platforms — you lose the URL, and every link pointing to it breaks. Every ranked page has to be re-earned.

A custom domain flips that. Google indexes yourname.com, backlinks point at yourname.com, rankings live on yourname.com. If you ever migrate — from CreatorStore or to CreatorStore — the domain comes with you. Rankings, backlinks, authority stay intact. You own the equity, not the platform.

HTTPS, expired certificates, and why "auto" matters

Traditional custom-domain setups need you to renew SSL certificates every year. Miss the renewal — buyers see a "not secure" warning in the URL bar, and checkout breaks. Every SaaS forum has a thread about it.

CreatorStore auto-provisions and auto-renews the HTTPS certificate. Set it once, forget it. The padlock stays in the URL bar without you touching anything. No calendar reminder, no ops task, no dropped sales because a cert expired at 2am on a Saturday.

Portability — you own the domain, we just read it

The domain lives at your registrar (Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare). CreatorStore never owns it, never has admin over it, never can hold it hostage. You added a DNS record pointing at us — you can point it elsewhere the same way, in 5 minutes, whenever you want.

That's the point. Own your audience, own your list, own your URL. The platform is a rental. The domain is the deed.

FAQ

Custom domain questions & answers

Anything else? Reach out — we reply within 24 hours.

What plan do I need for a custom domain?

Custom Domain is included on the Pro plan and higher. Start on Free or Starter without a custom domain and upgrade later — nothing about your store changes when you connect the domain, only the URL.

Do I buy the domain from CreatorStore?

No — buy from any registrar you already use (Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Squarespace, etc.). You keep full ownership of the domain at that registrar. CreatorStore only reads the DNS record you point at us.

Can I use a subdomain like store.mysite.com?

Yes. Root (mysite.com) and subdomain (store.mysite.com) both work. Subdomains are perfect if your main site already lives on the root domain.

How long does DNS propagation take?

Usually 5–30 minutes. Some providers propagate almost instantly, others up to a few hours. CreatorStore checks continuously and switches your store over the moment the record resolves.

Is HTTPS included with a custom domain?

Yes — CreatorStore auto-provisions an HTTPS certificate after DNS verification. No manual SSL upload, no yearly renewal. The padlock stays in the URL bar automatically.

What if my domain is already used for another website?

Use a subdomain — store.yourname.com, shop.yourname.com, learn.yourname.com. Your main site stays untouched on the root. The subdomain points at CreatorStore.

Can I switch domains later?

Yes. Disconnect the old domain in Settings → Custom domain, add the new one, add its DNS record, verify. Takes the same 5 minutes.

What happens to my SEO when I connect a custom domain?

Google indexes your store under yourname.com — a domain you own and keep forever. Rankings and backlinks build equity on your domain, not someone else's URL. That equity travels with you if you ever migrate.

Can I connect multiple domains to one store?

One primary custom domain per store. If you own several domains and want them all to route to your store, set 301 redirects at your registrar from the extras to your primary. Consistent SEO, one canonical URL.

Do I need any technical skills to set up a custom domain?

No — CreatorStore shows the exact DNS record you need to paste and links to a guide for your specific registrar. If you can log into Namecheap or GoDaddy, you can do the setup. Under 5 minutes of clicks.
