Can I Keep My Domain Name if I Leave Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 12:02 am

When you set up a new online store, one of the first things you need to do is choose a domain name. This can be a difficult decision, and it’s one that you need to think carefully about before making a final decision.

If you’re not sure what a domain name is, it’s the web address that people will use to visit your store. For example, our domain name is www.Shopify.com. Your domain name can be anything you want, as long as it’s available and not already being used by someone else.

Once you’ve chosen a domain name, you’ll need to register it with a domain name registrar. This is usually a quick and easy process, and you can usually do it through your web hosting provider. Once your domain name is registered, it’s time to set up your Shopify store!

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about leaving Shopify, be aware that you will lose your domain name unless you take action to transfer it to another registrar before cancelling your Shopify account. Once your Shopify account is cancelled, you will no longer have access to the domain name management tools needed to initiate a transfer.

Shopify makes it easy to get started with your own online store. We provide everything you need to create and run your store, including a customizable platform, payment processing, shipping, and customer service tools. Plus, we have 24/7 support available if you ever need help along the way.

Now that you know how to choose and register a domain name for your Shopify store, let’s take a look at what happens if you decide to leave Shopify. Can you keep your domain name if you leave Shopify?

The answer is yes! If you decide to leave Shopify, you can keep your domain name. You’ll just need to update your DNS settings to point your domain name to your new web host.

So there you have it! If you’re thinking about leaving Shopify, rest assured knowing that you can keep your domain name.
