Domains

Run your store on your own domain

Using your own domain on your is easily doable; although a little technical of nature. If you don't exactly what you are doing here then rather don't do it: ask your registrar or ISP to assist you with this instead.

Please note at this stage we do not check if your domain resolves to us which means if you enter an invalid Live Domain your store will simply be unavailable.

The Development Domain

The Development Domain is the sub-domain that your store kicks off on. It will always be a sub-domain of the domain 'someammo.com'.

The Live Domain

The Live Domain can be any domain you manage, or have access to. In the case of certain stores there will already be an existing domain (yourdomain.com) and an existing site (www.yourdomain.com). In such a case it is suggested to map a relevant sub-domain (store.yourdomain.com) to your store to ensure your site remains operational and intact.

Mapping your domain to your store

Using yourdomain.com & www.yourdomain.com

To use "yourdomain.com" on your store, add or edit an A record for '@' and point it to 107.20.228.0.

To use "www.yourdomain.com" on your store, add a CNAME record for 'www' and point it to @.

Using store.yourdomain.com

To use "store.yourdomain.com" on your store, add or edit a CNAME record for 'store' and point it to get.someammo.com.
