# Domain Migration
{% hint style="info" %}
To set up your migration domain from the old Shoppego server (**your own IP**) to the new Shoppego server (**shops.shoppego.my**)you can refer to the tutorial below:
{% endhint %}
**Starting February 26, 2026, every Shoppego user only need to do a CNAME record and every store/website will have the same CNAME record value/setting.**
## Before You Begin:
To complete the connection, you need to have the following information:
* Login information into your domain provider account (Platform you purchased the domain from)
* Access DNS record settings for your provider's domain account
* Shoppego's CNAME record value `shops.shoppego.my`
* The value of CNAME record www(optional) Shoppego that is `shops.shoppego.my`
There are several domain provider platforms such as Godaddy, Shinjiru and Exabyte that do not allow setting CNAME records for your main domain. For this issue, you need to [transfer the Nameserver to Cloudflare](/tutorials/en/settings/custom-domain/cloudflare.md) and manage/set your DNS records there.
You also need to make sure that there is no A record set on your main domain and only the value `shops.shoppego.my` is set on your CNAME record.
## Part 1: Value CNAME Record
1. You can log in to the Shoppego dashboard
2. Click on **Settings**
3. Click on **Custom domain**
4\. If you still have your custom domain settings, you need to click on the **trash icon** button to delete your existing domain settings first.
5. Click on **Add existing domain**
5\. Later, you will be able to see a pop-up that has a **value for your CNAME record**.
**You need to save the Value for the CNAME record for you to enter in your domain's DNS record in the domain provider's system later.**
## Part 2: Make settings in the provider's domain account
{% hint style="info" %}
**If your domain provider cannot set a CNAME record for the host to the main domain or @, you can transfer DNS management to the Cloudflare system. You can refer to this link for an example of setting:** [**https://docs.shoppego.com/en/settings/custom-domain/cloudflare**](https://docs.shoppego.com/en/settings/custom-domain/cloudflare)
{% endhint %}
1\. You need to **log in to your Domain provider account** and **go to the** **DNS Manager section** to edit the DNS records to point to the new DNS Shoppego in the following ways:-
* On the **CNAME record**, you can replace the value with the **value @ or your own domain name**
{% hint style="info" icon="triangle-exclamation" %}
**Make sure** your DNS record settings have your **CNAME record only**. If you **have A record**, **delete the DNS record** to **make sure there is no issue with your configuration**.
{% endhint %}
So the record you have made should look more or less like the picture below.
## Additional information:
To ensure that your DNS has been pointed to Shoppego, you can check your [**DNS here**](https://www.whatsmydns.net/) and make sure that the displayed DNS is your own Value.
1. To check your DNS: You can click this link: Check your [**DNS here**](https://www.whatsmydns.net/) or
Referring to the image below, to check if your domain has propagated
{% hint style="info" %}
You can enter your **domain name** (with www and **without www**) in the space provided. Make sure you have made the changes to the CNAME record check.
{% endhint %}
### Propagation Period
You only need to wait for a period of **48 hours** for the setting to be read and your domain **can be used** before you make a **Custom domain** setting in Shoppego.
The **shortest time** your domain can be used is within **1 hour.** If not, you need to wait for a period of **48 hours to 72 hours.** You can check the status of your domain propagation through the link we provided ()
## Submit domain in Shoppego
So when the DNS is already pointed and propagated to Shoppego.
1\. Log in to the Shoppego dashboard
2. Click on **Settings**
3. Click on **Custom Domains**
2\. Then you can click on **Add existing domain** and enter your **domain name without www**, and click the **Connect button**
{% hint style="info" %}
\*\***Note**: If there are **no issues**, the team will take **5-10 minutes to activate your domain**. If your domain still isn't activated within this timeframe, please contact our team.
{% endhint %}
If your Custom domain is ready and usable, the following example display will appear.
{% hint style="success" %}
The words **Connected** and **SSL activated** will be **green**. This situation will only happen if all the settings that have been done above are correct.
{% endhint %}
