**Step 2: Select the ShopOne Cloud DNS platform -> Enter your domain and click "Add".**

* **Option 1: Connect with the primary domain**\
  \
  Suppose you have a custom domain **tenmiencuaban.com**. To connect with the primary domain, enter your domain following the guided image instructions:

***Note:** If using a primary domain, you must include the **"www"** prefix.*
{% endhint %}

* **Option 2: Connect with the subdomain**\
  \
  Suppose you have a custom domain **tenmiencuaban.com**. To connect with the subdomain, enter your domain following the guided image instructions:

**Step 3: Verify the domain.**

In the **Check Verification** dialog box, obtain the information required to point your domain from the provider where you purchased your custom domain.

* **For connecting with the primary domain**, configure the following two records:

* **For connecting with the subdomain**, configure the following record:

After pointing the domain, click the **Check** button to let the system initiate the verification process.

* If verification is successful, the record status will display as "Verified."

* If verification fails, the system will prompt you to recheck your DNS settings.

**Step 4: Enable SSL security for the domain.**

**SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)** is a standard security technology for encrypted communication between a web server and a browser. We encourage you to enable SSL to protect personal information and ensure secure online interactions. For more details about SSL certificates, refer to the documentation provided [here.](https://wiki.matbao.net/ssl-la-gi-tong-quan-ve-ssl/)

**How to Enable SSL on ShopOne:**

Once the domain is successfully linked and verified, click the **Options** button and select **Enable SSL for non-www**.

The system will proceed to initialize and update the status upon successful completion.
