prestashop could shows original url after changing domain

[welly_59]

i have recently set up a prestashop cloud store. The url for the store is:

 

http://cheap-windows-keys.pswebshop.com/

 

i have bought a domain for it, namely:

 

www.cheapwindowskeys.com

 

if i go to the domain i bought then i get redirected to my store, but it shows the original pswebshop url in the address bar. is there anyway for it to show the domain name that i bought instead?

Easy: 

 

You need to add a CNAME DNS record to your domain pointing to http://cheap-windows-keys.pswebshop.com/

 

Tutorial here: http://help.dnsmadeeasy.com/managed-dns/records/cname-record/

 

Note: this tutorial is not specifically tailored to your hosting (domain) company, but the actions should be similar.

 

Good luck

hmmm 1and1 only support cname changes on sub-domains so i cant do that im afraid

Contact 1and1 support, they (or you yourself) should be able to do that, with any other hosting company that's possible - even if they don't show the option

sorted it, i needed to change the new domain to primary

Good to hear you fixed this. Did you fix this in 1and1 hosting panel or in the prestashop cloud environment?
