Domains & hosting

Your name on the door, the plumbing handled

Open your store on a free address the moment you sign up, then connect the domain you already own. Hosting, certificates and media storage come with the plan — there's no server to rent or renew.

  • Free store address
  • Automatic SSL
  • Guided DNS setup

Availability: Hosting and the free address on every plan; custom domains on paid plans

Connecting a domain

From "I bought a domain" to "it's live"

Bought your domain from GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare or anywhere else? Keep it there — you only change its DNS.

  1. Step 1: Type the domain

    Just the name, such as juniperandmoss.com. Tick "Also connect www" so visitors who type www. land in the same place.

  2. Step 2: Add the records shown

    Settings → Domains lists the exact DNS records to create, with a note for providers that show the name "@" differently and for Cloudflare's "DNS only" setting.

  3. Step 3: Check, or walk away

    Press Check now when you're done. Changes usually show up within an hour but can take 24–48 hours, and SellOrchard keeps checking for 3 days.

  4. Step 4: Make it your main address

    Once it says Connected and the certificate is ready, make it the main address shoppers see.

Always reachable

A free address that never stops working

Every store gets its own address on mysellorchard.com from the start, so you can share and test your store before you own a domain. When you connect a custom domain it becomes the main address — and if you ever remove it, the free address takes over again.

  • Your free address keeps working alongside any custom domain
  • Connect more than one domain and choose which is main
  • www forwards to the root domain automatically when you connect both
  • Removing a domain keeps it yours at your registrar — reconnect it any time

No surprises

What you don't have to think about

  • Certificates

    Issued when your domain connects. No files to upload, no renewal reminders.

  • Servers

    Your storefront is hosted for you. There's no hosting bill on top of your plan.

  • Domain transfers

    Your domain stays with the company you bought it from. SellOrchard only needs DNS records pointing to your store, so you're never locked in.

  • Storage limits you can see

    Your plan's media storage is shown in the admin, and uploads count toward it — including digital product files.

Questions

Domains & hosting: answered

Still curious? The help center walks through every setting.

Do I need to buy a domain to start?

No. Every store gets a free address on mysellorchard.com that works from day one. You can connect your own domain whenever you're ready on a paid plan.

Can I buy a domain through SellOrchard?

Not at the moment. Buy it from any domain provider — GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare and so on — and connect it in Settings → Domains.

Is SSL really free?

Yes. A certificate is issued automatically when your domain connects, at no extra cost, and your store is served over HTTPS.

How long does connecting a domain take?

DNS changes usually show up within an hour but can take 24–48 hours. SellOrchard checks automatically for 3 days, so you can add the records and come back later.

Can I connect a domain during the free trial?

Custom domains are available on paid plans. During the trial your store runs on its free mysellorchard.com address.

Can I run more than one store?

Yes. One account can own several stores, each with its own plan, domain, team and settings.
