Alternative 1: Linking a domain

Figure 1: Introduction to Domain Linking

Step 1: Let's say you possess the domain 'oasisshop.online', enter it in the search bar. In the search results, it should ideally show as NOT AVAILABLE.

Step 2: Now, you can start linking your domain by following the instructions written on the page. Nonetheless, let's go through each of those steps one-by-one.

Step 3: Sign-in to your domain provider's account to configure the DNS settings. The below steps have been written assuming that your domain provider is GoDaddy.com. In your case, it could be any provider such as GoDaddy, Domain.com, Namecheap, HostGator, Wix, DreamHost, etc. In that case, you can connect with your domain provider to understand the process of changing the DNS settings of your domain.

Step 13: Further, you can use this domain as your primary domain or a shortlink domain.

• Primary domain - A domain you choose to represent your main website.

  If you have only one domain name registered, then that will be your Primary Domain. However, if you have several domain names registered, you will need to select one that will be your Primary Domain.

• Shortlink domain - A shorter version of your domain which points to your primary domain. It is used as an alternate web address.
