How do I change Wosbee domain to my own domain?

Q. How do I change Wosbee domain to my own domain?

A. Wosbee can be configured to host your shop in any domain you own. You just have to point that domain into
the Wosbee server. Many hosting companies that sell domains, also run their name
servers for that domain. In this case you should handle this with your hosting company.
You can also get the domain separately without hosting, then you can set the nameserver
for the domain to be anything you want. There are nameserver services which you can use
to configure the domain to point to the wosbee service. So how should it be configured?


Follow this steps:

1. At your domain administration, set CNAME forwarding of www.mynewdomain.com to point to xxx.shop.wosbee.com.
We recommend using a CNAME record, basically there you map http://www.mywebsite.com to
another domain, which would be http://mywebsite.shop.wosbee.com address. This will work
even if we have to change the wosbee server's IP, because we will
make sure the *.shop.wosbee.com points to the correct server.
There is one restriction in CNAME, it cannot handle the bare mywebsite.com address
(without the www). For that you have to use the IP.
To overcome this we would recommend to still use the CNAME and insert a redirect
to www.mywebsite.com address from the shorter mywebsite.com address.

2. In Wosbee admin, system -> settings -> webshop settings insert www.mynewdomain.com domain and also select it as primary.

Remember, that you may have to wait for a while for your shop to work in the new domain,
since DNS changes can take 24-72 hours to fully propagate to all of the name servers.
