Resolving Your Domain

Once you have purchased a domain name from Tencent Cloud, you need to resolve it in your Tencent Cloud admin panel. Please follow the steps below:

  1. Log in to your Tencent Cloud account and open 控制台 (Console).

  4. Add the following two records in the resolution page and save to complete the domain name resolution.
      Type Name Value TTL (recommended)
    Record 1 CNAME www vip.myshopline.shop 10 minutes
    Record 2 A @ 104.17.232.29 10 minutes

    Note: The reason why you need to create two records is that we want to make sure customers can go to your store through both the URLs with and without the “www” prefix. For example, if you have the domain name of “greenlife,” then the CNAME record allows customers to access your store with ”www.greenlife.com,” while the A record allows them to access your store with “greenlife.com.”
