To use your own domain name with your CubeCart store, you need to add a CNAME record with your domain registrar pointing to your store’s mycubecart.com address.
What to Add
For example, to point www.yourdomain.com to your store:
| Type | Host / Name | Value / Points to | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNAME | www | yourstore.mycubecart.com | 3600 (or Auto) |
For the Root Domain
To use yourdomain.com (without www), the method depends on your registrar:
-
CloudFlare: Supports CNAME flattening — add a CNAME for
@pointing to yourmycubecart.comaddress. -
Most other registrars: Cannot CNAME a root domain. Set up www as the CNAME and add a redirect from the root domain to
www.yourdomain.com.

After Adding
DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, though most complete within 1–2 hours. Once propagated, your SSL certificate will be provisioned automatically.
