If you own a domain registered outside of Yahoo!

If you own a domain registered outside of Yahoo!

If you own a domain for your store registered outside of Yahoo!, you will need to add your domain to the hostnames list. Once your domain appears in the hostname list, it will also be available for selection in the domain redirect setting drop down list. If your domain is registered through Yahoo! then your domain should automatically appear in the list.

To add a domain redirect for a domain registered outside of Yahoo!:

  1. Ensure you have a CNAME set up from your domain to Yahoo! such as

    www.yourdomain.com IN CNAME stores.yahoo.net

  2. From the Store Manager, click Domain Names in the Site Settings column.
  3. Click the "Add" link under Hostnames.
  4. Enter your domain name in the field and click Next.
  5. Confirm your ownership of the domain by typing "This is my domain" in the field provided at the bottom of the page and click Next.
  6. Review the information about setting a CNAME at your registrar and click Next again.
  7. View the Hostname you are creating and click Done.
  8. Click OK.

You will see your hostname listed in the Hostnames section and your hostname will now also appear in the Domain Redirect Setting drop-down list. You can then select that hostname as your default domain redirect setting.
