[intro] When you have completed this guide, you will have pointed your GoDaddy domain at your EKM online shop. All you will have to do after this task is completed is wait 24-36 hours for propagation to occur and your EKM online shop will officially be live! [/intro]

1. To begin, you need to log into your EKM online shop and click Settings at the bottom of the left-hand menu:

2. Then click Domain Name on the left-hand side:

3. Click Use an Existing Domain Name:

4. Click The Domain Name Is Not Being Used:

5. Enter your GoDaddy domain name into the field provided, with the ‘www’ at the beginning and click the green Add Domain button. Notice there’s an IP address above this field - you will need to copy this:

6. Open a separate tab on your browser and log into your GoDaddy account. You then need to follow the steps here to create 2 A Records. One of them needs to have the prefix www and the second should be @ - both of these need to point to the IP address of your EKM online shop. If you check on the Domain Name page in your EKM online shop, you'll be able to see that the domain has been pointed correctly as both versions ('www' and 'non-www') will have an active symbol beneath them:

[caution]You can make either version the primary domain by pressing the Make Primary button if this is the only domain name you have pointed at your shop, however, if you have an SSL certificate set up on an existing domain name pointed at your EKM online shop this will not be visible if you assign a different Primary domain name and a second SSL Certificate would need to be purchased. [/caution]

[remember] All changes made to domain name settings - regardless of the provider - will always require time for the changes to take effect. Pointing a domain name to a destination can take anywhere between 12 and 36 hours to propagate. [/remember]
