RentMy hosting: Use your website domain with RentMy.co

March 4th, 2020 by

Connecting your website domain to RentMy.co

If you'd like your online store to show on your own domain at checkout (instead of *.RentMy.shop), then you need to edit the following DNS settings with your registrar:

  • Your "A" record should point to the RentMy store IP address, which is 3.20.172.57

The inputs with your domain registrar are:

Type: A
Hostname: @
Value: 3.20.172.57

The hostname is your hostname and '@' means the primary domain

Point your domain's main A record to IP 3.20.172.57. Once it is pointed correctly, you will be able to access your RentMy store, but there will be a SSL warning temporarily. The SSL certificate will be generated after the DNS is configured. Be sure to notify your Account Manager or RentMy Client Support once you have updated your DNS settings.

Additionally, you may also configure the www or any preferred subdomain with a CNAME to the main domain or an A record to 3.20.172.57.

Important:

  1. There may only be one "A" record for your domain.  Look for an "A" record with your primary domain or '@' to edit rather than adding another.
  2. Be sure that other services (such as email forwarding) are not affected by this DNS change. 

If you are not certain how to handle this change, you should contact your domain provider to find out how changes might affect your DNS settings.
