Can I keep my purchased domain when building a new website?

Hello! New to Shopify I have already purchased a domain which came with email; also I will be building my website. Is it possible to keep my domain with the company I purchased through as I have set up all my accounts using my company email that matches my domain. I appreciate any help! Thank you! Blessings.

Hi, @EnamoredSoul .

Welcome to the Shopify Community.

To confirm, you’re inquiring if you can keep your domain with the company you purchased from and use Shopify?

It is possible to keep your domain with the company/domain provider you purchased from while using Shopify. You can connect your third-party domain to Shopify, so you can continue using your company email that matches your domain.

To do this, you will need to update your domain’s DNS settings to point to Shopify’s records. This process involves modifying DNS records such as the A Record and CNAME record. The specific steps may vary depending on the domain registrar you used to purchase your domain. However, using the resource shared above will walk you through the steps on how to connect your domain to Shopify.

Please let me know if this is what you’re looking to achieve. If not, feel free to share any additional information here and I’ll be happy to take a look.
