Already have a custom domain name?

Even if you already have a domain name for your online store, you should protect your brand by registering other domain extensions. For example, if you own yourstore.com you should consider getting yourstore.net, yourstore.info, etc. as well.  If you plan on selling in international markets, you may also want to consider getting country specific domain names like yourstore.ca, yourstore.co.uk, yourstore.com.au, etc. Shopify supports registering and allowing your store to be accessed by multiple domain names.

Owning multiple domain names is especially important for established businesses that plan on growing and expanding operations. If you delay and someone else picks them up, you may be unable to obtain them or be forced to spend a lot of money to register them at a later date.
