# Configuring DNS

{% hint style="info" %}
Please follow the steps to set a custom domain in this order:

1. [Choosing a custom domain](/store-setup/custom-domain/choosing-a-subdomain.md)
2. [Initiating the custom domain setup](/store-setup/custom-domain/initiate-customdomain.md)
3. [Configuring DNS](/store-setup/custom-domain/configuring-dns.md)
4. [Check DNS](/store-setup/custom-domain/check-dns.md)
   {% endhint %}

You must create a DNS record to point your domain to your Tip4serv store. Here is an example if you use Cloudflare but the configuration is almost the same for all domain registrars.

1. Go to your domain registrar and log in
2. Click on the **DNS menu** then on Records
3. Click the **Add record** button
4. Select the **CNAME** type
5. In **NAME**, enter **shop** or **www** or the subdomain you want (**shop**.mydomain.com)
6. In **TARGET**, enter EXACTLY this (do not replace webstore): **webstore.tip4serv.com**
7. Disable proxy and leave TTL as it is
8. Click SAVE
9. Wait a few minutes (can take up to 48 hours) then try to access your shop with your domain

Click on the **DNS CHECK** button on [Custom domain](https://tip4serv.com/dashboard/domain) page to check if your DNS record is correct.

**Congratulations you are done !**
