Your store.
Your own domain.

Connect yourname.com to your CreatorStore in 3 steps — enter your domain, add one DNS record, and we auto-provision an HTTPS certificate. Root domain or subdomain, both work.

The problem

yourname.com reads as a business. A platform slug reads as a tenant.

creatorstore.co/@yourname works out of the box, but it announces where you're renting space. When you're pitching a $10K retainer, sending a link to a podcast guest, or handing a card to a conference lead, yourname.com reads as a real business. A platform slug reads as a side project. The URL bar is the first line of your pitch — you should own it.

Levels of ownership

Start on a free URL. Grow into your own address.

You don't need a custom domain on day one. Start free, and upgrade when your store starts closing real business.

01

Free store URL

creatorstore.co/@you — live from the first click. Great for getting to your first sale.

02

Subdomain

store.yourname.com — your brand shows in the URL. Perfect if your main site already lives on the root.

03

Root domain

yourname.com — fully your web address. SEO equity, business card material, forever yours.

Custom Domain unlocks on the Pro plan. Root and subdomain both included.

What you get

Everything included. Nothing to configure separately.

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

Auto HTTPS

SSL certificate provisioned automatically after DNS verification. No manual upload, no yearly renewal — HTTPS just works.

Root domain support

Connect yourname.com at the apex level. No prefix required. Your store lives at the shortest possible URL.

Subdomain support

store.yourname.com, shop.yourname.com, learn.yourname.com — any subdomain works. Perfect if your main site is elsewhere.

Any DNS provider

Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Squarespace — or wherever you bought the domain. The setup is the same 3 steps.

5-minute setup

3 steps: enter your domain, copy the DNS record, click verify. No code, no support ticket, no waiting on tech.

SEO equity your own

Google indexes your store under yourname.com. Rankings, backlinks, authority — they build on your domain, not a platform slug.

The URL upgrade

Same store. Three URLs. Your choice.

You can run the same store on any of these — switch anytime. Nothing else about your business changes.

Fully your web address, forever

Buy a domain from any registrar for about $10–15/year. Point one DNS record at CreatorStore. HTTPS provisioned automatically. That's the whole cost — and it's not to us.

Ownership

The domain is yours. The SEO is yours. Both survive if you leave.

A platform slug ties your search ranking, backlinks, and brand recognition to a URL you don't own. A custom domain ties them to you.

SEO equity your own

Every article, backlink, and ranking on yourname.com stays with you — even if you migrate the store somewhere else one day.

Your email alignment

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

Business-card ready

Short, memorable, professional. Say your URL out loud at a conference — yourname.com beats a platform slug every time.

Buyer trust

The URL bar is the first trust signal on checkout. yourname.com reads as a real business — no third-party subdomain to explain.

Portable forever

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

HTTPS by default

Auto-provisioned SSL means the padlock is always in the URL bar. No expired certificate warnings, no manual renewals.

Simplify

Retire the DIY "own domain" stack.

Custom domain, HTTPS, hosting, store — one platform, one setup, one dashboard.

The DIY "own domain" stack

Buy a domain + set up a hosting plan + install a store theme + configure SSL + point DNS + hope it all talks correctly + renew every year.

Multiple bills. Multiple support desks. One expired certificate away from a broken checkout.

CreatorStore

Buy a domain (from any registrar) + connect it in the dashboard + we auto-provision HTTPS + store is already built.

One subscription. One dashboard. HTTPS renews itself.

How it works

From buying a domain to live store in one afternoon.

3 steps in the CreatorStore dashboard. About 5 minutes of hands-on work — plus DNS propagation time, which is usually 5 to 30 minutes.

01

Buy a domain

From any registrar — Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Squarespace. About $10–15/year. Skip this step if you already own one.

02

Enter it in the dashboard

Settings → Custom domain → type yourname.com (root) or store.yourname.com (subdomain). Save.

03

Add the DNS record

CreatorStore shows you the exact record. Log into your registrar, paste the record, save.

04

Verify & go live

Click Verify. Once DNS propagates, HTTPS is provisioned automatically. Your store loads at yourname.com.

FAQ

Custom domain, answered.

Questions creators ask before connecting their own URL.

What plan do I need for a custom domain?
Custom Domain unlocks on the Pro plan and higher. You can 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?
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 with 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 a platform slug. That equity travels with you if you ever migrate.
