Domain management

For end-to-end setup of a brand-new domain, see Custom domain. This page covers ongoing management.

Listing domains​

Dashboard → Settings → Domains shows every domain attached to this store with:

  • Status (Active / Pending verification / Failed)
  • SSL state (Issued / Pending / Expired)
  • Canonical (one is the canonical, others redirect to it)

Adding a second domain​

You can attach multiple domains to one store. Pro plans allow up to 10. Use cases:

  • yourbrand.com (apex) + www.yourbrand.com (canonical)
  • yourbrand.dz and yourbrand.com (regional + international)
  • Campaign domain (bestoffer.com) → redirects to a landing page

Setting the canonical​

Pick one domain as canonical. The others redirect to it (301). This is critical for SEO — Google needs one canonical per page.

Removing a domain​

Trash icon next to the domain. Removes from DZBuild routing (we no longer accept traffic to that domain). The domain itself isn't deleted from your registrar.

SSL certificates​

We auto-issue + auto-renew via Cloudflare for SaaS. If a cert renewal fails, you'll get an email + a Dashboard banner. Reach out to support.

Subdomain vs apex​

  • www.yourbrand.com (subdomain) — easiest, just a CNAME
  • yourbrand.com (apex) — needs ALIAS/ANAME (modern registrars) or A record (we provide IP)

Most merchants use both with one as canonical.

Frequently asked​

Q: I changed my mind on the slug — can I change yourstore.dzbuild.com? A: No, the dzbuild.com slug is permanent. Just attach a custom domain instead.

Q: Can I use a domain I bought through Google Domains / Squarespace? A: Yes, any registrar works. Just point DNS to us.

Q: Custom domain on a free plan? A: Yes — even free plans support 1 custom domain.
