We’ve put together some nifty tutorials for those of you just starting out with Storefront. Each of these brief screencasts will help you accomplish a specific task in your hosted Storefront site, and we hope you’ll find them helpful. We’ll be sharing some more advanced tutorials soon.

If you’re not familiar with Storefront, we introduced this easy-to-use method of selling domains late last year.

Editing and Enabling the Contact Us and About Us Pages

Adding Promotional Bullets

Adding Yourself as the Tech Contact for Domains

Setting Custom Pricing

    I’ve followed all these tutorials, but I’m stumped at the following:

    If you are using a hostname other than infoplex.shopco.com for your storefront, please
    configure a CNAME record for your storefront’s hostname to be set to “infoplex.shopco.com” in your current DNS system.

    I’ve created the CNAME entries:

    opensrs.infoplex.com.   4H IN CNAME     infoplex.shopco.com.
    infoplex.shopco.com.    20M IN A        64.99.64.31

    domains.infoplex.com.   4H IN CNAME     infoplex.shopco.com.
    infoplex.shopco.com.    19m45s IN A     64.99.64.31

    But they don’t function as my http://infoplex.shopco.com site:

    http://domains.infoplex.com
    http://opensrs.infoplex.com

    Both give different results, but neither “works”…   :-/

      Thanks Jon,

      Did you set your domain name up in the ‘hostname’ section of Storefront? You have to do that before Storefront will respond to the URL you want to use. I’ve included a snapshot of my own storefront so you can see what I mean.

      If you still can’t get it to work after verifying your hostnames, you might want to put a quick call or email into our support team. They’ll be happy to assist!
