Shopify DNS Settings Checker

Two records decide whether your store opens on your own domain. The root domain needs an A record with the value 23.227.38.65, and the www host needs a CNAME record pointing to shops.myshopify.com. Shopify also publishes an IPv6 address, 2620:127:f00f:5::, for an optional AAAA record. A domain should have only one A record and one www CNAME, so old records from a previous host must be changed or removed.

The standard tools that come with a .pk domain do not include a custom zone editor, so there is nowhere to create your own CNAME or TXT entries. Shopify, Blogger and Meta (Facebook) all ask for exactly those. The fix is to host the domain's DNS somewhere that does give you a zone editor. With PK DOMAIN DNS Hosting you point the domain's name servers to cpns1.mypremiumdns.com and cpns2.mypremiumdns.com and manage every record yourself in the cPanel Zone Editor.

No. DNS Hosting only hosts your domain's DNS zone, the list of records that tells the internet where your website, store, blog and email live. It does not host a website. Your Shopify store stays on Shopify and your Blogger blog stays on Blogger. You get a cPanel account to edit the zone, with unlimited records.

The records are unlimited on both. DNS Hosting 1 covers one domain and DNS Hosting 2 covers five domains, so the second plan costs less per domain if you run several stores or blogs. Both come with the cPanel Zone Editor. Current prices are shown on this page and in the order form.

Meta lets you verify a domain by adding a TXT record that starts with facebook-domain-verification=. Copy the value Meta shows you, open the Zone Editor in cPanel, add a TXT record on the root domain (the @ host) and paste the value, then press Verify in Meta Business settings. Meta can take a while to notice the record, so check it here first to confirm it is published.

Yes. Blogger asks for a CNAME record on www that points to ghs.google.com, plus a second verification CNAME with a long name and value that is unique to your blog. To make the bare domain work too, Google lists four A records. All of these are ordinary zone records, so you can add them in the Zone Editor. Always copy the verification pair from your own Blogger screen.

It can if you skip a step. When you change a domain's name servers, the new DNS zone replaces the old one. Before you switch, write down every record you use now (website, mail MX records, SPF and other TXT records) and add them to the new zone as well. Do that and nothing goes offline.

Usually the domain still points at the old website host or at an address left over from a site builder. Change the existing A record to 23.227.38.65 instead of adding a second one. If you already changed it, the new value can take from a few minutes to about 48 hours to reach every network, so check again later.

No. Connecting a domain only needs the A record and the www CNAME. TXT records are used for other jobs, mainly email security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and ownership checks for services such as Google or Meta. The checker lists the TXT records it finds so you can see what is already published, and existing email records can stay where they are.

Many changes appear within minutes, and some networks keep the old answer until its TTL expires. Plan for up to 48 hours before you decide something is wrong. Lowering the TTL a day before you make a change speeds up the next one.

Yes, Shopify can serve a store from a subdomain by pointing a CNAME record at shops.myshopify.com. This page checks the root domain and the www host. To look at a subdomain, use the DNS lookup tool, choose the CNAME type and type the full subdomain.

No. It only reads public DNS records, the same information anyone can look up, so there is nothing to sign in to and nothing is changed. You still make the fixes yourself at the place where your DNS is managed.
